Anzac Day March

Anzac Day falls on Thursday 25 April (Week 2, Term 2). The traditional march will take place with all students invited to attend. The march starts at 7:30am from Betheden Terrace, Ashgrove and proceeds outbound on Waterworks Road to Ashgrove Memorial Park.

We will gather behind St Finbarr’s Catholic Church at 7:15 am. The ceremony commences at 7:45 am and runs for approximately 45 minutes.

I would like to remind students that they are to wear their full winter uniform ensuring it is clean and presentable, including their formal hat. Blazers are required for all students except for Years 8 and 9.

Winter Uniform

Students are required to wear full Winter uniform to and from school each day. This includes blazer and formal hat. Students currently in Years 8 and 9 will commence wearing blazers in 2025.

Marist College Ashgrove Bullying Policy

Marist College Ashgrove says no to bullying.

Bullying can take many forms including:

• Physical bullying which involves physical actions such as hitting, pushing, obstructing or being used to hurt or intimidate someone. Damaging, stealing or hiding personal belongings is also a form of physical bullying. 
• Psychological bullying is when words or actions are used to cause psychological harm. Examples of psychological bullying include name-calling, teasing or making fun of someone because of their actions, appearance, physical characteristics or cultural background.
• Indirect bullying is when deliberate acts of exclusion or the spreading of untrue stories are used to hurt or intimidate someone. 
• Cyberbullying is the ongoing abuse of power to threaten or harm another person using technology. Cyberbullying can occur in chat rooms, on social networking sites, through emails or on mobile phones. 

The College Bullying Policy clearly states that if a student is being bullied, they need to report the bullying to a teacher or leadership team member. On reporting, the member of staff will then follow a rigorous procedure to ensure that the bullying ceases.  Some students are concerned about reporting bullying due to being called names such as a “snitch”.  The bullying policy clearly states that any student who retaliates against another boy for reporting bullying is acting as a bully and consequences will follow.  In other words, boys are protected once they report bullying.
