Dear Parents, Students and Friends
Congratulations to all our Year 12 2014 Distinguished Achievers. Below is a list of the students who were awarded a Band 6 in the 2014
HSC Examinations.
The Marian Catholic College Dux for 2014 is Lachlan Webb. Lachlan was invited to address the college assembly to pass on some tips to
the students on how he was successful in his studies. Here is an excerpt... wise words indeed!
“All I can tell you all is to just do what you find works for you, and do it enough that you start to sound like you know what you’re
talking about; there’s no magic secret to doing well. What worked for me was reading the same information from multiple
sources, and then using that information to then write, in my own words, either a summary or a response to a question. This was
the only thing that I could do to get things to stick. As well as that, and probably more importantly, I made sure to never leave
class without having understood the lesson, and that meant asking as many questions as I could think up to make sure it was
clear. My thanks goes to my teachers for answering them. Every lesson.“

*****YEAR 7 NEWS****
Year 7 Community Day Thursday Feb 12
Next Thursday all of year 7 will be involved in their
community day. The theme is ‘We are Gifted’ and the
day is an opportunity for the year group to form and
strengthen relationships and to recognise each other’s
gifts.
The day will be held on College grounds during normal
school hours. The students will need to wear sun safe
clothing, enclosed shoes (no thongs or sandals) and
bring a hat. Lunch is provided however they will need
to bring recess.
It would be great if each student could also remember
their pencil case with textas, scissors, coloured pencils
and glue. We are all looking forward to a great day
getting to know the many gifts your children bring with
them to MCC.
Sports Uniform 2015
Marian Catholic College has made a slight change to the
Sports Uniform during the summer months in terms 1
and 4.
During Terms 1 and 4, all students in years 7 and 8 are
to wear shorts for the boys and skorts or shorts for
the girls.
Track suit pants are NOT part of the uniform in terms 1
and 4 and cannot be worn during these two terms.
The college also encourages all boys in all year groups
to wear shorts as part of their sport and school uniforms
during the hotter months.
Regards, John Seers

COUNCIL WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOUNG RESIDENTS
Griffith City Council is starting to develop a new Youth Engagement Strategy to better engage
with the young people in the community.
To achieve this, Council’s Community Development team has created a survey to hear from
youth directly! The survey, aimed at people aged 12 to 18 years, has been put together by
Gemma Hehir, a Charles Sturt University Social Work student who is assisting the Community
Development department to develop the strategy. In partnership with Griffith City Cinemas,
Community Development is giving away movie passes to 20 young people who complete the
survey.
“We are very excited to move forward with this important project as it is part of Council’s vision to
engage with young people in meaningful ways so we can plan a city that is vibrant and engages
our youth,” said Peta Dummett, Community Development Coordinator.
“What better way to drive this project than to learn first-hand from youth how they operate, work,
communicate, do things and see the world in general? Their input in this survey is very important
in helping us move forward with a Youth Engagement Strategy.”
The survey asks questions such as “Would you be interested in attending regular youth
meetings?” “Would you be interested in joining a youth committee?” “Which form of social media
would you use to express your opinion on youth related issues/activities other than a youth
council?” and “What are some of the positive things about living in Griffith?”
Ms Dummett said Gemma will be in contact with high school students during the next week to
discuss anything that will help ensure the strategy meets the needs of young residents.
To participate in the Youth Survey, please click here:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NKPQ6K5
You can also find the survey link on Council’s website and Facebook page
(www.griffith.nsw.gov.au and www.facebook.com/griffithcitycouncil) as well as the
headspace4griffith Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/Headspace4Griffith.
Printed copies will be available at Griffith City Council’s admin building at 1 Benerembah
Street, the Griffith City Library, the Aquatic Centre, Westend Stadium and at local high
schools in the Griffith area.
If you have questions about the Youth Survey or Council’s Youth Engagement Strategy, please
contact Peta Dummett on (02) 6962 8100.

Dear Parents and students,
Correspondence has been received from Griffith City Council regarding road rule compliance
and infringement notices, the content is as follows:
With the start of the new school year - could I ask you to provide a reminder to parents/students about their
obligations when complying with the road rules on the streets around Marian Catholic College? Council's Traffic
Engineer and I have recently conducted observations around several schools across Griffith and found the
behaviour of some drivers and pedestrians significantly places the safety of many students in jeopardy.
In relation to Marian Catholic College - our concerns relate to the practice of drivers parking in No Stopping
zones on Wakaden Street and Hickey Crescent.
On Wednesday afternoon of this week - we observed 8 vehicles parked in the No Stopping zone on the northern
side of Wakaden Street between the school car park entrance and Barellan Street. These vehicles were stopped
with the intention of turning into the school parking area but because of the congestion - they remained on
Wakaden Street in the No Stopping zone. The zone prohibits this practice and should the internal parking area
be full - parents must seek alternative places to park whilst waiting to collect students.
Similarly, and of greater concern, we observed 11 vehicles parked in the No Stopping zone on the western side
of Hickey Crescent between the old bus zone and Wakaden Street. These vehicles effectively blocked off the
street south of the Lowing Place intersection therefore other vehicles were travelling on the incorrect side of the
road to clear the congestion.
No Stopping zones have been implemented in the area as a safety measure to improve the sight distance along
the streets and/or to reduce congestion around intersections and narrow streets. Illegally parked vehicles
significantly compromises the safety of road users therefore compliance with parking restrictions must be strictly
adhered to.
Could I ask you to place information on parking issues around the school in your next news letter to remind
parents to park correctly and to advise them of the penalties associated with illegal parking. A summary of school
related parking offences is attached. Council Rangers will be asked to monitor the situation starting later next
week therefore persons found illegally parked may be issued parking fines for not complying with parking
restrictions.
