YEAR 7
Starting Well


Head of Year 7
This week during Pastoral Group, students will reflect on their Term 3 report cards. This process allows students to identify areas for improvement and, with the guidance of their Pastoral Mentor, set goals for the term ahead. Students will be create a goal-setting card to serve as a visual reminder of what they are working towards this term.
Please take the time to speak with your child about the goals they have set and discuss strategies that can be implemented at home to support their achievement.
Our Term 4 charity drive has kicked off, with the College once again supporting the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal baskets. We are running a Pastoral Group competition, with a prize awarded to the group that collects the most items.
St Mary’s Catholic College has a long history of supporting this valuable local community initiative. This year, I have challenged students to show initiative by using their own money to select and purchase items, rather than relying solely on parents or caregivers to organise their donations.
I encourage you to support your child in taking responsibility for their contribution to this worthy cause and to embrace the spirit of generosity and service that underpins this initiative.
