Term 3 Week 10: From the Principal
As Term 3 ends we celebrate the remarkable achievements of our students across the College. At our Marcellin Campus Assembly, our Year 12 students were farewelled by the Secondary School. It was a poignant occasion as it called us to consider the relationships that have been at the heart of their Marist schooling experience and, as such, our family spirit. This Marist characteristic is foundational to building a strong vibrant community. It supports our young people to foster good relationships that can be formed, nurtured and celebrated. The challenge for Year 12 students in the weeks ahead will be the realisation that their school life has come to an end. The future is bright, but the journey they take individually will be diverse. Going into the world and making it on your own will be challenging, but all the same rewarding. Our students are ready to leave and embrace the opportunities that await them. We hope that that family spirit, of being in a Marist community, will stay with them in the years ahead. We pray that their memories of Newman College are where they were formed and prepared for their future pathways. We pray for these students as they enter the final stage of their journey with the upcoming exams commencing next week. Year 12 students will conclude in Term 4 Week 2 with their final Mass and Graduation.
