  • Marist College Canberra Year 11 and 12 Handbook 2020
    Marist College Canberra Year 11 and 12 Handbook 2020 1 Year 11 and 12 Handbook 2020 Marr Street PEARCE ACT 2607 Phone: 02 6298 7200 Fax: 02 6298 7224 Email: [email protected] Mr Matthew Hutchison Website: www.maristc.act.edu.au Headmaster 2 Dear Students The final two years of schooling are, for most, the most memorable and enjoyable time of your school journey. It is a time for leadership opportunities, a time to cement friendships that will support you way beyond your schools days and a time to explore your intellectual capacity and interests. Marist College Canberra provides broad learning options and pathways. This handbook has been designed to assist you and your parents with choosing subjects and in gaining an understanding of the ACT Year 12 Senior Secondary Certificate. I urge you to read through all sections carefully, and to consider the options available so that you can make choices suited to your particular needs. I implore you to base your decisions that match your interest, your ability and preferences reflected in your past ten years of schooling. Please choose wisely, according to what is best for you – not because of the teacher, or because of what your friends are choosing. It is a common mistake for boys to choose subjects, which they think, will help them gain entry into university rather than those that actually interest them, or those which they are capable of successfully completing. This usually results in boys not performing to the best of their ability. Seek the advice of your parents, teachers, the Career Advisor, and your House Dean.

  • Board of Senior Secondary Studies Annual Report 2009-2010
    Board of Senior Secondary Studies Annual Report 2009-2010 Overview The Board of Senior Secondary Studies (the Board) was established in 1991 and the Board of Senior Secondary Studies Act 1997 (the BSSS Act) was enacted in January 1998. The key functions of the Board are to: • provide students with Year 12 Certificates, Tertiary Entrance Statements and vocational certificates • maintain the credibility and acceptance of courses through a regular accreditation program • monitor and support the validity of assessment in years 11 and 12 • improve the comparability of standards across the Territory through moderation procedures • gain the widest possible recognition for the credentials awarded by the Board • service the information needs of the community. During 2009-10, the Board has continued to implement its strategic plan. Key initiatives have included a review of flexible learning and its implications for Board policy, the trialling of some alternative approaches in the peer review moderation process and a technical review of the ACT Scaling Test. The Board has ensured that the ACT has been actively involved in development of the senior years’ Australian Curriculum through participation in the writing process and at consultation workshops. The Board responded to the draft position paper on National Curriculum in the Senior Years and is preparing a response to the recently released draft courses in English, mathematics, science and history. The Board is monitoring the implications of national curriculum on its policies and processes, and will consider a timeframe for implementation, in the next reporting period. There was a significant change in the membership of the Board during 2009-10 as many of the appointments to the Board expired at the end of 2009.

  • Embracing Our Shared Responsibility for Promoting the Vitality of the Association and Its Mission
    Embracing our shared responsibility for promoting the vitality of the Association and its mission The Marist Association of Saint Marcellin Champagnat Prepared by Association Executive Officer: Dr Frank Malloy 29 January 2020 1 11:40:290120 New Structure to support the growth of the Marist Association of Saint Marcellin Champagnat Introduction The Marist Association of Saint Marcellin Champagnat has grown to include almost 1000 members since its establishment in June 2014. The reasons for this number of people making the decision to join are many. The desire to “associate” as Marists has been a formal commitment to what they have felt, done and been as followers of Jesus for many years. Most would speak of having experienced meaningful, quality, rewarding work and inspirational formation in various Marist ministries. In the initial years of the Association, it was decided to create a “Pastoral Team”, whose focus was largely on development, membership and belonging. The leadership provided in defining the nature of the Association by Joe McCarthy and other members of that team has been significant in this foundation phase. Listening to the Spirit The Association’s initial document, We Marists, published in 2016 captured the collective vision and priorities of this new entity for Australian Marists for the first three years. In 2019, the Association’s second document, As Marists, describes the guiding principles discerned by members throughout 2018 and particularly the 200 delegates at the Association Assembly in Adelaide that year.
