Honouring the Significant Men in Our Lives

In Celebration of Father’s Day and 50 Years of Marist-Sion College

We warmly invite you to join us at Marist-Sion College for our Significant Men’s Breakfast, a special event recognising the important role men play in shaping our families, our College, and our wider community.

This breakfast is an opportunity to celebrate not only dads, but also grandfathers, uncles, family friends, carers, and all the men who make a positive impact in our lives.

All students (not just sons) and staff are warmly encouraged to attend and are welcome to bring along their dad or a significant male role model.

Join us for a light breakfast and a morning of connection, storytelling, and shared appreciation.

(Please note: students must also have a ticket purchased.)

PAM Permission Forms  

A reminder to all families that parental permission for excursions, overnight stays, or any other activities must be submitted through PAM (Parent Access Module). If you experience any issues logging into PAM, please contact the College so we can assist you in re-establishing your access.

Please note that permissions close 24 hours before the event, and verbal, email or phone permissions cannot be accepted in accordance with the policy of our employer, DOSCEL (Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Ltd).

We appreciate your understanding and support in this matter.

Drop Off and Pick Up Reminder

To ensure the safety of all students and ease congestion during busy times, we ask that families use the designated drop-off and pick-up bay on Lilleys Road.

❌ The Burke Street entrance is our main bus access point and becomes heavily congested. Please avoid using this area during peak times.

• The Visitor and Staff parking near Administration is for pre-arranged appointments only and not for drop-off or pick-up.

• The Hall car park is for staff parking only and is not a drop-off area.

   

Thank you for helping us keep our school safe and running smoothly.
