On Wednesday 20 February the College recognised and celebrated the Class of 2018 who achieved Outstanding Academic Achievement. The High Achievers Assembly was an opportunity for students past and present, family members and staff to reflect and gather together as part of our Marist family.

In his Principal’s Address, Mr Finneran spoke about culture which defines who we are. “Your efforts demonstrated by application, resilience, discipline, shared values friendships and self-belief have enhanced our Newman culture. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents”.

Jai Taylor (Class of 2018) gave an inspirational address with his main message being; you need to take every opportunity the College has to offer to support your learning without undermining your personal wellbeing.

Congratulations to Kascia Pavisich who was awarded the 2018 Principal’s Award (highest ATAR score) and was recognised for her Outstanding Academic Achievements; a General Exhibition, Subject Exhibition in Psychology and a Subject Certificate of Excellence in both English and Psychology.

Along with the 23 students who achieved and were recognised for their Outstanding Academic Achievement by obtaining an ATAR of 95 and above, Samantha Ashby was recognised for achieving a Certificate of Excellence for Mathematics Applications and Jessica Ranieri for being the recipient of the VET Award.

Well done to the students who made the morning extra special by sharing your gifts and talents in the Symphonic Winds and Chamber Choir.
