Dear Marist Family,
Welcome to week 4.
This week Year 11 retreats are taking place and Year 9 are on their first
week long Footsteps activity at Bungarra. My thanks to the many staff
who have organized these events and/or accompanied the boys on
them.
Last week’s Commencement Mass celebrated by Archbishop
Christopher Prowse was a beautiful liturgy attended by what we
believe was the largest gathering we have had in Marcellin Hall since
its opening in 2012. Our Archbishop reflected with us about the theme
of MERCY, noting that the word’s origins are taken from the Latin
‘Misericordiae’ meaning connecting one’s heart with another’s misery.
That translation made an impact on me as did the reminder that “mercy
is one side of a two sided coin; the other side being justice.” The challenge we were left with was to
be a community of people who not only talked about mercy but lived it out in the spirit of the term
‘Misericordiae’, one’s heart with another’s misery.
Many thanks to all of you who attended the Commencement Mass and joined us after for the Senior
School House picnics. It was a beautiful evening to celebrate firstly around the Lord’s table then in a
social setting.

Following the Marist Reminder sent you 10 days ago about the Royal Commission and the
appropriateness of the naming of Othmar House I have put together a working party to progress
the matter of the naming of Othmar House. Within the next week a Marist Reminder will be sent
to you outlining the process and the proposed timeline. There is an urgency about sorting this out
sooner than later.

Academic Awards
Ceremony for
Semester Two
2015
Mr Michael Lee, Principal of St Mary MacKillop
College, was the guest of honour at the Academic
Awards Ceremony on Friday 19 February.
The Ceremony was held in Marcellin Hall and Mr
Lee presented awards to students from Years 8-12
for their academic achievements in Semester Two
2015. Three different types of awards were made;
Certificates for Academic Improvement, Academic
Merit and Academic Excellence.
Awards are calculated based on a student’s Grade
Point Average (GPA). In this system grades are
given numerical values where an A grade is given
a value of 5, a B grade a value of 4 and so on. The
total points gained by a student in the semester
is then divided by the number of subjects they
studied and the results of this calculation is called
the GPA.
The Top Ten ATAR students from 2015 were
also presented with a medallion to mark their
outstanding achievements in Year 12 2015.

CURRICULUM IN FOCUS
BYOD CONSIDERATIONS
Amongst the considerations when choosing a
device for your son to bring to school are the
weight of the device as well as its screen size.
Weight because you don’t want something too
heavy for him to carry around. Screen size is also
important as something too small will inhibit his
use, and something too big will generally also
weigh quite a bit and be awkward to carry around.
We generally recommend something between 10”
to 14” in terms of screen size.
In addition to the considerations above, the
following minimum specifications need to be
taken into account.
Wireless compatibility: The Marist wireless
network operates on the 802.11n 5Ghz standard
– look for 802.11 abgn. This may be advertised as
“Dual Band Wireless”, “802.11abgn”, “802.11agn”,
“802.11ac” or “Gigabit Wireless”. Devices with only
“802.11abg” or “802.11n” will NOT connect at
school.
Battery life: Devices need to last for a school day –
battery life should be at least 6 hours.
Operating System: Devices should have a
reasonably current operating system for your
device.
(Eg; Windows 7 or better, MacOS 10.x, IOS 9.x.)
For those who have already purchased a device
with incompatible Wireless capabilities. Please
ring the College helpdesk on 6298 7211 as we
may be able to advise you regarding options for
replacement.
Michael Plenty
ICT Systems Manager
STUDENTS WHO ARE GOING
TO BE ABSENT FROM SCHOOL
If your son is going to be absent from school
because of sporting commitments or family
reasons you will need to:
1. Write to the Headmaster before the
absence seeking permission for the
student to be away from school.
2. Ensure your son liaises with his teachers
to catch up on the work he misses while
away.
3. Note that Exams will not be rescheduled
for reasons other than illness or
hospitalisation.
Students who are absent because of illness will
need to follow the normal absentee procedures.
NATIONAL YOUTH SCIENCE FORUM
From 18 to 30 January this year I attended the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF). This event brings
together 200 young students about to enter year 12 for the two weeks at ANU to learn about science,
careers and expand their horizons. I was a member of a physics group, and was teamed up with 13
other like-minded physicists to visit local labs where new areas of physics are being researched and
discovered. A range of leading scientists held talks and discussions and through them we learnt our
fields of science can become a career. At workshops we learnt valuable life skills related to a career as
a scientist and to assist us in our final year of school. The motto of the NYSF is “We’ll show you things
you’ve never considered”, and they truly live up to this motto. I strongly encourage all science-minded
year 11 students to consider applying for the NYSF when entries open in March/April this year.

CROSSROADS
Our CROSSROADS Lenten program coordinated by Year 10 Christian Leadership students meet at
lunch each Wednesday throughout Lent. The boys have participated in some Lenten trivia, a spiritual
fitness assessment, considered temptations, fasting and spent some time in prayer. Perhaps the biggest
success was that for the first time, Year 6 students were invited to participate with Year 7 & 8 students
and it worked wonderfully. The aligned bell times between JS and SS have opened up some really great
possibilities for Faith Formation activities.

Students from Queanbeyan Parish were invited to
meet Jordan Hodge a Youth Ministry worker from
St Greg’s Youth. He opened up the idea of our boys
joining the youth in the parish for an encounter
with God that involved action, community and
discipleship. Meanwhile, MYM team members
attended their first Parish Mass together at Corpus
Christi Parish in Gowrie. The team hopes to attend
Mass together once a month and will initially
alternate between Corpus Christi and Mary Help of
Christians Parish in Pearce.

IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT
TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS
SENIOR SCHOOL
Parents are reminded not to enter the College
driveway between 8.00am and 8.45am, and
3.00pm and 4.00pm as this causes difficulty for
buses and pedestrians.
We strongly recommend you use Biddlecombe
Street for drop-off and pick-up. A drop-off/pickup bay is available in front of the school on Marr
Street.
If you use this bay, please drive forward as space
becomes available in order to allow vehicles to
enter so as not to cause congestion on Marr Street
or to affect bus access to the driveway at Gate 1.
Please note the ‘No Stopping’ signage that is
posted on Marr Street.
A reminder that the pedestrian crossing on Marr
Street is not to be used as a drop-off or pick up
point.
Parents are also asked to respect the privacy and
accessibility of the College’s neighbours in Marr
Street by not parking across their driveways, on
their lawns or entering their properties. Boys
should not walk through the unit complexes to
meet their families but should use the adjacent
parkland.
We seek to maintain a cordial relationship with
our neighbours and ask for your support in
maintaining the flow of traffic and the safety of all
members of the College community.
There have been cases of double-parking on Marr
Street which effects the flow of traffic, potentially
endangers students and other road users, and
delays the timely arrival of buses.
A reminder there is no vehicular entry to Gate
2 from Marr Street during the morning and
afternoon bus times (8.00am-8.45am and
3.00pm-4.00pm).
ACT Police and ACTION supervisors monitor this
area and can issue fines.
Please also remember not to exit via Gate 1 at any
time during the day.
JUNIOR SCHOOL
After School Pick Up (Drive-Through):
Drive through (Gate #3) is a very busy area. The
safety of our boys is paramount.
We ask that parents and friends are patient and
observant as they collect boys in the afternoon
and follow the requests of Junior School staff.
•
A number of parents and grandparents park
on surrounding streets (e.g. Biddlecome Street
and have boys walk to meet them). This is a
good idea. Boys are to use the underpass near
Melrose High School.
•
Do not park on Marr Street and call boys to
your car.
•
If at all possible, wait a few minutes after
3.10pm as Marr Street becomes very
congested.
•
Please drive as far down into the pick-up area
as possible to the red line.
•
If your son is not visible and immediately
ready to be collected - circle the roundabout
– or park and wait – or drive down into the
car park and come up again. Be aware of cars
exiting the parking spots.
•
Please allow cars that are circling the
roundabout to have access as you come down
the drive (give way to your right).
•
Do not attempt to turn right onto Marr Street
as you exit – please observe the ‘Left Turn Only’
signage.
NORTH SIDE BUS
SERVICE
The North Side Bus Service is now closed to
new students as it is fully subscribed. Should
you wish to go on the waiting list for a seat,
please contact the Finance Office on
finance@mcc.act.edu.au.
Please note that access to the North Side bus
service is available only to those families who
have registered, completed a consent form and
paid the associated bus levy.
