Walkathon

We’re only five sleeps away from our Walkathon!

We’re all set for Sunday with plenty of generosity being extended to sponsoring our students. All funds raised from this year’s Walkathon will go towards new student change rooms for the highly used Cameron Oval. To date we have received over $15,000 in generous sponsorship of our students. In the spirit by which our student leaders have recently supported the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave, Mr Serone has put a challenge out to us all. If more than $40,000 is raised in sponsorship, Mr Serone will shave his head! What an incentive!

A final reminder that students are encouraged to collect sponsorship to walk on the day through a cashless donation system where parents, family and friends can donate online. All students will have access to donation cards, displaying the donation link and QR code to share with family and friends.

Prizes will be awarded for students who raise the following:

• For every $100 raised: Students will receive a sports ball (basketball, football or rugby ball).
• Pizza Party: For the Pastoral Group and Primary Class that raises the most funds raised.
• Best Dress Fancy Dress: On the day of the Walkathon the best dressed Primary and Secondary student in fancy dress will receive a $50 tuckshop voucher.
• For every $50 raised: Students will go into a raffle for lunch with Primary Admin. (Primary Students) For ever
• $30 raised: Students will receive a Marist College Stress Ball (Primary Students Only).

Safe and Considerate Parking

We need to ensure we all are considerate and careful when parking on and around College grounds. In particular, and in the absence of line marking, in the pool carpark where individuals need to ensure suitable space is provided to exit and enter cars. Unfortunately, we are currently looking into a matter whereby a staff member’s car (brand new too!) was damaged without being reported.

To reiterate, access across the Glenlyon bridge is only available to staff and patrons of our swimming club. Similarly, the nearby drop-off bay is for swimming club patrons only. Parking in the swimming pool carpark (from the east end of the pool to the bridge) is for staff and swimming pool patrons. Parking alongside and behind the pool is for staff only.

These arrangements are to mitigate on-site traffic to promote the safety of students staff and community members. Your attention, cooperation and support of these arrangements is greatly appreciated.

AIC Sport Code of Conduct

Fundamental to the AIC, is our belief in inclusion and fellowship and the role we each play in fostering this. As a parent, spectator or official, we need to ensure we are welcoming to all involved and treat them with the greatest levels of respect, protecting the rights, dignity and worth of every person regardless of diversity.  The AIC provides a Code of Conduct for parents/guardians, spectators, coaches and officials which can be found here.

The AIC supports all efforts to remove poor behaviour from sporting events. In the event that a parent or spectator feels the need to notify the AIC of inappropriate behaviour, they should firstly notify the venue official/College representative at the venue. Following this, any complaint should be then directed to their son's coach, College Head of Sport or the appropriate member of the College Leadership Team.
