Year 11 Presentation – Thursday 6 February 

The College has engaged Mr Brent Sanders to present to our Year 11 cohort this Thursday. The main focus of the presentation will be to examine critical issues such as peer pressure, decision-making, self-discipline and respect. The presentation also includes an in-depth discussion around sexual assault, consent and respect within relationships.

Year 12 Formal – Saturday 1 March 

Year 12 Formal will be held at the Brisbane City Hall on Saturday 1 March. Communication has been sent home to all Year 12 families this week. Please ensure tickets are booked for your son (and partner) by Friday 14 February. Please contact Kelly Byrnes with any enquiries regarding the formal by email byrneske@marash.qld.edu.au or phoning 07 3858 6437.

Lost Property 

A reminder as we commence the 2025 school year, please ensure that your son’s belongings are clearly labelled with his full name. Items with initials only make it difficult to reunite with their owners due to the number of students at the College.

Lockers

All students are issued with a locker to store their belongings during the day. All lockers are required to have a lock. The preference is to use the College combination lock which can be purchased via the uniform shop. MCA Combination Padlock | Marist College Ashgrove | Noone 

Student Absentees – Parent Communication 

The College requires all absentees to be communicated via Parent Orbit. This includes all day absences, early departures and late arrivals. Instructions for adding an attendance record are set out below: 

Student Absentees – Late Arrivals 

Students are required to be at school before the first bell rings at 8:30am each morning. Students who arrive late are required to sign in at Student Admin before going to class. Parents will receive an SMS message if the student presents without an acceptable reason for being late. Note: all morning training sessions finish before 8:00am, giving students ample time to change, eat and arrive at their pastoral group on time.

Students arriving late throughout the day are required to sign in at Student Admin before going to class.

Student Absentees - Early Departures 

For students in Years 7 to 12 who are departing the College throughout the day, students must sign out at Student Admin before departing. If you would like to collect your son, please meet him at Tower Reception.

For students in Years 5 to 6, parents are required to come to Primary Reception to collect their son.
