Year 11 Examinations Commence Stay Connected: stpatsdundas.catholic.edu.au facebook.com/St-Patricks-Marist-College-1549337335358979 of Marist schools is to lead young people in the way of Mary, to know and love God The Mission in the belief that they all can become good Christians and good Citizens. New Building I am very pleased to announce that we have the go ahead for a new building that will assist in the delivery of our Vision for Learning, enhance and enable an innovative learning environment and assist in achieving our ongoing learning goal which is to: “Create a sustainable agile, collaborative growth culture that is responsive in nature, has enquiry as its framework and creates agency for both staff and students in the areas of wellbeing, formation and learning.” In student centred approaches to learning, students are engaged in the individual and small group workshops and presentations through the learning cycle. To engage in this, our new learning spaces will require break out spaces, individual pods, presentation spaces, group learning spaces and collaborative spaces. We have had an initial meeting with our architects and we are very excited about the possibilities. I will keep you up to date as we move forward. The Importance of attending Parent Teacher Student Interviews Research shows that parents have a significant impact on their children’s educational achievements. In fact, parental engagement overrides all other factors that have been shown to influence a child’s achievement. It is therefore critical that teachers and parents develop effective relationships to bridge student learning between home and school. One of the ways to achieve this is through our parent teacher student evenings. Attending these evenings lets our young people know that their learning is important to us and we believe in them and their capacity to grow and achieve regardless of where they are or where they have been on their learning journey so far. This year our Leader of Studies and Learning Analytics, Miss Sarah Hagarty, is leading the introduction of student led conferencing. This week our Year 11 were the first students to be part of this new process. Students reflected on the year to date and set goals for each of their subjects. It was interesting to talk to students, who were really challenged to be able to articulate the how of their goals. Here are a couple of suggestions: At the end of each day take some time to summarise the key understandings, new skills and learnings of each subject, note any new subject specific vocabulary. This provides a great way to synthesis learning, an opportunity to check for understanding and to then seek further clarification from teachers as needed. Students should also think about subject specific skills and how they can intentionally work on improving them with the assistance of their teachers as needed. Thank you very much to all of the families that attended. If you were unable to attend we would ask that you take some time to discuss your child’s goals with them. Upcoming School Survey “Tell Them from Me” In the coming weeks we will be inviting students, teachers and parents to provide feedback on their experience of our school using an online survey. The surveys are an important part of our whole school evaluation and planning process. You will be invited you to complete the Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Partners in Learning survey. As we value the role of Parents and Carers within our school community we would greatly appreciate your feedback. The information you provide will be used to maintain our commitment to working together in partnership to further improve student learning and wellbeing at St Patrick’s Marist College. The survey is anonymous and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. We will forward the URL at the beginning of the Survey period (Monday, 21st May to Monday, 4th June) We will also be sending home a letter regarding the student survey. A reminder as always if you have any concerns please contact us here at the College on 8841 7900. Debating We began our new season of the CSSA Debating last Friday night against Loretto Kirribilli, with our off season preparation helping us to secure four wins and two losses. I was so pleased to see the wonderful sportsmanship between the schools and more importantly the keenness of students to seek feedback to improve their debating skills. My thanks to Miss Nelson for leading our Debating team this season and to the teachers Ms Graham, Mrs Malone, Ms Duffy, Miss Hagarty and Mr Scanlon who assisted and supported our students on Friday night. Upcoming College Community Events • Mothers Day Liturgy: Friday, 11th May at 2:15 in the La Valla Centre • Parent Learning Forum - Study Skills Workshop for Parents (Years 7 – 12): Wednesday, 30th May at 6:30pm in the Library • P&F Meeting - Wednesday, 30th May at 7:30 pm Library: Includes Katherine Maish Instructional Coach (Gifted and Talented) and Sarah Hagarty Leader of Studies and Learning Analytics on Understanding our new format for Parent / Teacher / Student night – Student led conferencing.

Throughout the academic year they offer informative, engaging and practical skill development to students and parents in our learning community. Topics covered: • Study environment - Discussion of what an ideal study environment looks like, and how to ensure students are able to maximise concentration. • Technology - What role technology plays in aiding study, and how to ensure it doesn’t become an enormous distraction. • Best practices - Exposition of a number of core skills presented to the students, and signs to look for at home when students are straying from their use. • Q & A - Parents have a lot of questions about study – the presenter will open the seminar to parents and accept questions about how to support study at home.

  • 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.

Mr Cook, how quickly do you think you can get us the FET data? Will we be able to consider that before we have the hearings? Mr Cook: I would have to ask my staff. Obviously I have taken that on notice. I am not sure how soon it will be. We will get it as quickly as we can. Answer Note: this question and the below response relate to discussion over several pages of Hansard, including the following (page 22): Senator JACINTA COLLINS: I will ask the department: could you please provide me with what those 2017 figures—in this case, we are talking about Catholic education— would be under the current arrangements for Catholic schools? Mr Cook: We have a grouped authority. We allocate on grouped authority. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Yes, and I want you to break them down by schools. Mr Cook: You want a breakdown of school, of notional allocation? Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Yes, for 2017. Pretty much, I am asking you to provide the data that would be on the estimator had it been done according to the existing act for 2017. It is easily available. It is on the FET, isn't it? Mr Cook: Yes. It is not public information, but we are happy to make it public.
