Deputy Head of College News

Safe Travel and Parking

All usual parking and vehicle access to the College has been restored following the recent severe weather. The College is extremely grateful for the patient and careful manner by which parents, students and staff have managed the past few days.

With the return of usual student travel to and from school and the resumption of sport training occurring before and after school, it's imperative each of us meet our responsibilities with respect to safe driving and car parking. Please ensure you follow all signed parking instructions. By way of example, parking over yellow lines along the Glenlyon Road exit to the College causes much congestion and is unsafe for our students, neighbours and other drivers. Each afternoon Frasers Road sees a number of buses, cars and student pedestrians from both Marist and surrounding schools. Your support with and driving through this area at this time with an extra level of awareness and care will greatly assist in a safe passage home for all.

In further support of safe and active travel arrangements in our local area, the Oakleigh State School community has led the way by advocating for a Frasers Road Supervised Children's Crossing. Their work has paid dividends. It is kindly requested both pedestrians and motorists be aware of the new facility and assist by modelling appropriate behaviour for our children.

Traffic guards will operate the crossing each Qld public school day:

AM Shift 7:50am – 8:50am

PM Shift 3:00pm – 3:30pm

Student Residential Address and Other Information Collection

The Student Residential Address and Other Information Collection is a Commonwealth Government data collection. The 2025 collection will open on Wednesday 12 February 2025 and will close on 12 March 2025.

The data collected will be used in conjunction with Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data to calculate a non-government school community’s anticipated capacity to contribute to schooling costs, known as the capacity to contribute (CTC) score.”

Further information from the Australian Government’s Department of Education is available please visit the SchoolsHUB address collection help and support page here.

We would ask all parents to review and ensure their College registered address and background data is up to date.
