Exam Block

Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 on exam block should arrive at school and check in via the QR code stations located at Student Admin, Main Reception, Library, Music and CLE. It is important that all students sign in via the QR codes should an emergency situation arise, and accurate rolls can be taken.

A reminder that during exam blocks, normal school rules and grooming expectations apply. Students must wear their full school uniform (including formal hat) to and from school. For students driving themselves to school, they must not park on College grounds.

Term 4 - Summer Uniform

The boys will be returning in Term 4 wearing their summer uniform. Students in Years 5 to 11 will wear the College grey short-sleeved shirt and shorts/trousers, whilst the Year 12 students will continue to wear their blue long-sleeved shirts with tie and shorts/trousers. 

Year 11 Social

The Year 11 social will be held on Thursday 17 October at Victoria Park Golf Club, Herston Road, Herston. As in past years, this occasion will provide a positive and functional social opportunity for the students involved. An email was sent home last week with details and the booking link to purchase tickets. If you have not received this communication, please email studentadmin@marash.qld.edu.au.

Mobile Phones

Students are not to be in possession of or use their mobile phone between 8:35am and 3:10pm. Primary students must keep their phones in their lockers from the time they arrive at school and are not permitted to use them before school. If found in possession of a phone during these hours, the phone will be confiscated and taken to Student Administration. If this occurs twice during the school semester, then a one-day internal suspension will result.

Should you need to get an urgent message to your son during the day, please contact Student Administration (Years 7-12) or Primary Reception. 

Early Departures

If your son is leaving school early for any reason, we request that you notify the College in writing using the Parent Lounge/Attendance tile on the Parent Portal. Students are not to use their mobile phones to call home requesting permission to leave early for any reason. There are several issues with this scenario including using mobile devices during the school day (students know it should be in their locker), lack of communication with the pastoral leader and duty of care responsibilities. If students are not feeling well during the day, they are to go to the Health Centre where a decision will be made if a student is too sick to continue with school. If students are going home after being assessed, the Health Centre will contact home to arrange pick-up.

ParentOrbit Mobile App

We're excited to announce the upcoming launch of the ParentOrbit Mobile App, designed to keep you informed and connected with everything happening at the college. This user-friendly app will provide you with instant access to vital information, such as your child's attendance, academic records, and extracurricular activities. You'll also be able to manage notifications, view calendars, and even handle payments with ease. Stay tuned for more details as we prepare to roll out this powerful tool to enhance your engagement with the school community.
