What's On - 2 December 2020

Hundreds of pictures, artworks, animations and videos of students work from both Visual Arts and Technology and Applied Studies are now available to view as part of the College's 2020 ‘Beyond’ Exhibition. 

Due to government restrictions, this year’s event is being held virtually, allowing attendees to share in the celebration and excitement from the comfort of their own homes.

The Exhibition highlights student projects and achievements from Years 7-12 in a range of areas including: photography, graphic design, art, engineering studies, design and emerging technologies, furniture making, design and innovation, and robotics.

Congratulations to all of the students from Years 7-12 whose work is included in the Exhibition. 

Tomorrow, Thursday 3 December 2020, is the last day that donations from Junior School families can be made to this year's Vinnies Christmas Appeal. 

Thank you to the many families who have already donated, helping local families celebrate the joy of Christmas during what has been a tough year for many. 

Our deepest sympathy is extended to Joe (Year 11), Jack (2019), wife Anne and daughter Emily and family on the passing of Tony Carroll (1985). 

The College recognises and appreciates Tony’s contributions and support to the Marist Australian Football Club as a player, parent, assistant coach as well as coach. 

Please keep the Carroll family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  

For most children in residential care homes, Christmas is an unpleasant reminder that they are in someone else's care and not with family or kin to celebrate the festive season. Christmas can also be a time of sadness and loneliness for those who have experienced trauma. 

Marist180 is seeking our support for their inaugural A Marist Noel. They hope to provide the children and young people in residential care homes with a meaningful and memorable Christmas. 

The Marist Brothers have been holding retreats for Brothers, teachers, students, and families at the Marist Hermitage Mittagong for many years. These retreats are held in the beautiful grounds of the Hermitage, previously the site of the Marist Brothers Novitiate.

There are a variety of retreats offered, from one day duration to four day residential. Opportunities for spiritual direction are also available. These retreats are open to members of all Marist communities which includes families and past students.

If you would like to know more about these retreats, either for yourself or members of your family, and view the 2021 program, please visit the website.
