McGuigan Shield Celebrations

 

MacKillop students traversed the different worlds at Rush HQ as celebration for winning the McGuigan Shield. Students spent two hours climbing Mt. Madness, throwing down on The Gaunlet, challenging each other to Ninja HQ, bounding around the Jump Factory and avoiding missiles in the Dodge It World. Later, MacKillop students enjoyed a hot lunch with pizza, chips and soft drink.

House Captains Dani Wignell and James Cortese developed an incentive program called MacKillop Money to increase participation and develop House spirit. Students who participated in House Swimming, Cross Country, Athletics, Events or represented our House with pride received MacKillop Money. On our Celebration Day, we held MacKillop Market where students could exchange MacKillop Money for lollies, chocolates, biscuits, cupcakes, Walkers and Daniels Donuts and canteen vouchers.

The excitement was palpable, energy electrifying and students were aptly rewarded for their participation, dedication and enthusiasm throughout 2024. The overwhelming message from students was MacKillop Money is here to stay and bring on a three-peat McGuigan Shield victory in 2025!

 

 

 

A RESET - the new beginning that follows the proud graduation of our Class of 2024

 

Some of you may have heard about the “RESET - a new beginning” which was discussed at my Head of Campus address to the students on Tuesday. 

 

As our 2025 student leaders take the ‘reigns’ of the campus and the graduating class turns their attention to life beyond the gates of St Peter's, it dawned on many staff that the new beginning of 2025 starts now (albeit with the addition of 196 eager Year 7 students for whom everything will be new and shiny.) 

Thus Tuesday was the perfect time to take stock of what we expect and the standards that we will rise to - to have a reset 

Below is the post that was placed on SPACE News for staff and students on Wednesday 30th October. I share it with you in the interest of garnering your support, as we embark upon this new beginning.

 

 

RESET

 

With our 2024 Year 12's now graduated each and every student takes a step closer to being the senior role models of your school. Our Year 11's of 2024 have begun their trek toward the finish line and now are the most senior students on the campus.

Soon we will welcome a new set of Year 7's who will be looking up to all of us as role models of how we act at St Peters College - and so now is time for a RESET so that we are all reminded of the expected standard and start rising to it. 

As a staff we are aware that 85% of you do the right thing 95% of the time and to you, this reset will just be 'business as usual' - for some others, the RESET may come as a struggle - House Leaders, Learning Advisors and Teachers are there to help and work with you to meet the expectations. 

 

Summary from yesterday's Head of Campus RESET address - these are not new or unreasonable

  1. Students show the respect of being on time to Tutor Group.  
  2. Blazers worn to and from school and worn to Tutor group. [Hoodies and tops of other colours are confiscated]
  3. Earpods and headphones are not to be worn during breaks or in class (unless instructed by your teacher) - teacher confiscation of earpods will come with confiscation of the phone they are connected to - note.- there is a small list of student with permission to wear over-ear headphones as part of their learning adjustment, this list is held by the Head of Campus
  4. Sports uniform (Yr 7 to 9) If you do not have the correct shorts or track pants you must wear school uniform to school on PE days until you have the right uniform. (10-12 students should not be in sports uniform unless for VET Sport and Rec)
  5. Full school uniform includes fully black footwear - not white or multi-colour runners.
  6. Every student follows the reasonable instruction of every teacher and every CRT
  7. Every student has a chance to achieve success 

#We appreciate that there are always exceptions to the uniform rules and these are managed by your House Leader in consultation with your parents.

And coming soon.... to help those who struggle with the expectations

1. Repeat offenders of Mobile phone breaches could have their phone confiscated by the House Leader for longer than one day [- of course, if you do not do the wrong thing, you will have nothing to worry about.]

2. Daily Lunchtime clean-up duty (students who are late to Tutor group, out of uniform, exited from class to a House Leader for serious misbehaviour, or other serious breaks to our Expectations, can expect to lose their whole lunch on that day, picking up papers with a House Leader wearing a High Visibility jacket so you can be identified.
