What's On - 1 September 2021

While the College is closed to students and parents as we follow the ACT Government restrictions, we are pleased to advise that the College’s online Uniform Shop is open to the community through your customer portal. Please click here for information on how to order online. 

Staff will be processing all online uniform orders two days a week for the rest of Term 3, or until the restrictions ease and the Uniform Shop is allowed to open to the College community.

We encourage all online orders by parents/students to select the 'home' delivery option at time of purchase. Your order will be posted out by Shop staff twice a week. 

If you select 'collection' from the Uniform Shop, you (or your son) can collect from the Shop once restrictions ease and access is allowed for parents and students on College grounds.

While the plan will be to provide a 'click and collect' service moving forward for your convenience, presently this service is not available currently due to limited access to parents and students on College grounds.

Please contact the Uniform Shop on 0432 707 901 and leave your questions via voicemail. Alternatively, you can email the Uniform Shop for any uniform requests, orders or questions and staff will respond ASAP. You can also phone your orders between 8.30am – 4.30pm to the Alinta customer service centre on (02) 4321 0433.

The College will begin Reconciliation preparation in the Junior School at the start of Term 4. This program will run over the first four weeks for those students who have missed the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation within their own parish.

If you would like your son to participate in the lunchtime Reconciliation preparation program, please contact Leesa Callaughan via email.

Thank you for your ongoing support of your son’s faith journey.

From our MultiLit Educators and Literacy Revolution Teachers (Literacy Interventions):

Why is phonics not spelled the way it sounds? 

I’m close with 25 letters of the alphabet but I don’t know y.

Whoever put the ‘B’ in subtle deserves a pat on the back.

How do you catch a dyslexic fish?  You get it Hooked on Phonics!

From our Quicksmart Educators and Modified Maths teachers (Mathematics Interventions):

The Quicksmart numeracy intervention program helps our boys become fluent (quick) and efficient (smart) with their numeracy strategies.

Did you hear that old maths teachers never die - they just lose some of their functions.

Why does the maths book so sad?  Because it has so many problems.

Why was the Marist student doing his multiplication on the floor?  Because Mrs Bell told him not to use the tables!

What makes arithmetic such hard work? All the numbers you have to carry!

What is a forum? Two-um + two-um.

For everything there is a time: for everything there is a season

There is a reason for every time and every season:

A time to begin, and a time to finish;

A time to act, and a time to stop acting;

A time to mark work and a time to stop marking;

A time to answer the phone, and a time to ignore it;

A time to speak to someone and a time to let the situation go;

A  time to remember a mistake, and a time to forget it;

A time to work, and a time to rest;

A time to have fun, and a time to be serious;

A time to speak sternly, and a time to speak softly;

A time to forgive, and a time to forget;

A time to challenge and a time to not notice;

A time to plant seeds and a time to reap the benefits

Show us today Lord how to use our time for the good of others and help us appreciate the time you have given us today.
