YEAR 7 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 5
Student Voice
During Week 4, several Year 7 students volunteered to join Mrs Manders. Mrs Dewar and Ms Brooke in a Student Voice meeting. These meetings provide College Leadership with an opportunity to speak directly with students about their experiences within our College community.
Students shared valuable insights into issues that impact their daily school lives, what they value most about our community, and what could make their experience even better.
Thank you to all the students involved. We value their feedback and ideas.
St Vincent de Paul - Christmas Baskets
Thank you to all the students who have contributed items to our Vinnies Christmas Appeal baskets. St Mary’s Catholic College has a long history of supporting this local community initiative, and it was wonderful to see so many of our Year 7 PGs filling their first baskets this week.
This charity drive will continue throughout the term, and we look forward to seeing students continue their contributions to this worthy cause.
Year 7 Vaccinations - Catch-Up Sessions
Any students who were absent for the Queensland Health School Immunisation Program last Thursday will be placed on the list to receive their vaccinations early next year.
The Queensland Health team will return in the new year to administer vaccinations to the Year 10 cohort. Students who still require their Year 7 vaccinations will also be able to receive them on this day. Dates and times will be communicated in the new year.
Save the Date: Year 7 Community Day - Friday 27 November
Year 7 students will celebrate the end of the school year with a Community Day on Friday 27 November 2026. Following our End-of-Year Liturgy, students will spend their final day of Year 7 together, celebrating their achievements and reflecting on their experiences as a cohort.
Our location is currently being finalised and will be communicated in the coming week.
