Proverbs 19:17

Dearest Marian Community,

I hope that this past fortnight has been a pleasant one full of enjoyable and uplifting experiences. 

Our College Faith and Service community has been flourishing with many of our students participating in various opportunities that are regularly made available to them. The increased assistance has been valuable particularly for Carevan, emptying the plastic bottle recycling cages, and the radio club restarting within the coming weeks. Witnessing these students within our College taking an active approach shows that they are truly living our College motto; The Way, The Truth, The Life.

I-Care Kits 2023

As I mentioned in my previous compass notification, our College service project is the creation of the I-Care Kits. Please ensure that you begin to bring the items in during Homeroom. We have a goal of creating forty I-Care Kits this term and without the full support of the Marian Community, this cannot be achieved. 

The following items are the required items for donation per year group:

Students who are unable to donate the specific items, a donation of $5 can be made in-lieu of this and the items will be purchased on their behalf. The Community Action team will go around to each Homeroom and collect any item that is brought in by students. Please remember to submit all items to your homeroom teachers in the morning during Homeroom periods. You only need to donate once, if you wish to donate multiple items that is fine. The students from the Community Action Team will go around to Homerooms every Wednesday morning.

Morning Mass

On Wednesday, we will be offering Morning Mass to any staff or student who wishes to attend. Mass will start at 8:40am and will run for the duration of the Homeroom period. Fr Cyprian will celebrate the Mass and administer communion. This will become something we offer every Wednesday morning as part of offering encounters with faith. 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Mass starting time: 8:40 am
