What's On - 27 October 2021

Due to lockdown and the ongoing COVID restrictions, the College’s Walkathon was unable to proceed in August. The format of this year’s event has subsequently been altered.

Students from Years 4-12 are instead asked to safely complete the distance of 12 km in their own time and record and track this on a tracking app or step counter. Boys are invited to either walk, run or ride the distance.

Students in the Senior School are asked to please send a screenshot of their completed 12 km record to their House Group Leader by Tuesday 2 November; Junior School students can upload their record to their classroom Canvas pages. 

A reminder that all pledges must be collected and funds electronically lodged by Friday 12 November via the attached link or QR code.

Current Year 7 students are invited to apply to study Spotlight Drama or Amplified Music in Year 8 in 2022.

All students were recently given an overview in their Year 7 Performing Arts classes and some chose to attend a special Zoom information session.

The two classes are for students who really love Drama or Music. The classes give students a chance to study one or the other for the whole year in Year 8 instead of just one semester each.

Students audition by presenting either their character task from Year 7 Drama or performing a short own choice musical piece, or something they learnt in Year 7 Music.

To apply, students simply need to talk to their current Performing Arts teacher before the end of Week 14.

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.

Positions in this sought-after class are limited. Many families seek to take advantage of the full value a Marist education provides, which includes our unique and renowned classroom band program.

Many of our families are eager to be a part of the program because of the high level teamwork that is developed each week, the supportive development of friendships in a transition year, and the opportunity for boys to experience something that just isn’t the same in a co-educational environment.

Students in the band have lessons with our instrumental staff while also taking part in band classes in place of their Performing Arts class as part of their timetable. The course runs for two years until the end of Year 8. Many of our students continue on after that.

More information is contained with the attached application form. We are very happy to take individual questions from families. You can contact Performing Arts via email or phone 6298 7255 and leave a message during online learning which we will respond to.
