You Choose Driver Education Presentation

Melissa McGuinness returns to Marist College Ashgrove on Monday 11 July at 6:00pm in the Draney Theatre. All parents of Years 11 and 12 are encouraged to attend with their son, to jointly hear Melissa’s presentation and the impact poor choices can have on families. Melissa’s presentation is a powerful personal story that is always well received.

The date and timing of this presentation has been coordinated for boarders travel day, giving the opportunity for boarding parents to attend.

YOU CHOOSE Youth Road Safety is Australia’s youth-led mission to change driving culture from legacy paradigms of ‘luck’ to the empowerment of choice.

Presentations are designed for profound cut-through to teenage passengers and drivers; inspiring enduring leadership in each participant as an outspoken peer advocate who expects good choices from themselves, their friends and their family.

YOU CHOOSE Youth Road Safety activates students’ hearts for social mission, challenging them to protect their loved ones and their community by rejecting the misguided myth that bad driving is ‘a part of growing up’. They are invited to embrace the awesome opportunity to be the first generation to permanently change Australian driving culture.

One student. One friendship group. One family. One school. One community at a time.

Own the Choice – Own the Outcome

Winter Uniform Term 3

Students will continue to wear Winter uniform next term. I ask all families to work alongside the College in ensuring the students are neatly presented on their return. A reminder of the College expectations regarding hair and grooming from page 21 of the Student handbook:

Hair must be clean, brushed and generally near – off the ears and collar and, when brushed forward, out of the eyes.  There must be no extremes or variations to hair colour nor layered, rigid or undercut hair.  The shortest length is a blade 3.  A conservative “College cut” is recommended.  All boys must be clean-shaven during the school day and at all College events.  Sideburns may not be below the level of the earlobes.
