What's On - 13 October 2021

The Art Department would like to thank all of the students who have contributed fantastic works to our online art exhibition so far. We saw an influx of wonderful student creations throughout the school holidays and we invite all students in the College, from Years 4 to 12, to continue sharing these with us through the final term of the year. These will be displayed in the online exhibition – Art Injection.

A student’s first name, their year level and the title of the artwork will appear alongside each submission. The first works from the online exhibition can be viewed below. 

How to submit:

Students will be able to upload and share any pieces that they have created. 

What to include:

• Submit the work with your name, year level, title and medium (this can be in the file name).
• A MP4 or MOV for moving image files and PDF (preferred) or PNG or JPG files
• Submit works made in any medium i.e. photography, film, drawing, digital, 3D digital, or painting.

Congratulations to the newly appointed Junior School Term 4 Class Captains and Vice Captains. We look forward to your leadership and role modelling during the term.

Last Friday, a Zoom Assembly was held to announce the Captains. This week, the boys collected their badges ‘COVID style’ with a contactless drive-through. Click here to view the list of the Class Captains and Vice Captains for Term 4. 

In 2022, the College, supported by the Archdiocese and our local parishes, will be running a Youth Sacramental Program for students currently in Years 8 -12.

This program is an opportunity for these students and their families to deepen their Catholic faith through the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, First Holy Communion or Confirmation). It is open to students and age appropriate siblings (sisters welcome) who are considering one or all of these Sacraments.

The actual design of the program will be partially dependent on the needs of the candidates, yet will involve a mix of twilight sessions for the family and weekly sessions held here at Marist. The program will run during Semester One concluding at Pentecost. Priests from the local parishes will also be involved in various sessions.

Any further enquiries can be directed to our Head of Liturgy, Leesa Callaughan.

To align with the return of classroom learning in Term 4, a reminder that Transport Canberra will resume all dedicated school bus services from Monday 25 October 2021 (Week 4). This includes ‘S’ trips that divert into school grounds in both the morning and afternoon.

More details and updated school timetables will be available online one week before this is implemented.

There will be some minor timing changes to services and as such, families will need to review the timetables when they are available.

In Weeks 1-3, Years 11 and 12 students will be able to travel to school using the current interim network. They can plan their trips ahead of time using the Journey Planner on the Transport Canberra website.  

Special needs transport continues to run for those families that need this service, and the light rail is continuing to run to the normal frequency.
