From the Vice Principal – Term 1 Week 9

Jenni Vile on 02/04/2026

Winter Uniform and Presentation Reminders 

As we approach the school holidays, we kindly ask parents to support the College by ensuring that any student haircuts align with our grooming expectations. If your child is considering a style that may not meet College guidelines, we encourage this to be done early in the break to allow time for any necessary adjustments before Term 2 begins. 

The commencement of term two also marks the transition to Winter Uniform for all students from Year 1 to Year 12. Students are expected to return to school in their full Winter Academic Uniform. Some points to note: 

  • Shirts must be tucked in when wearing College trousers 
  • All students must wear the College belt when wearing the College trousers 
  • Students in Years 4 to 12 are to wear College ties and blazers 

The Uniform Shop holiday opening hours are below. We appreciate your ongoing support in helping maintain the standards and presentation of our College students. 

  • Uniform Shop Holiday Opening Hours 
    • Tuesday 14 April 2026 – 8.30am to 4.30pm 
    • Wednesday 15 April 2026 – 12.30pm to 5.30pm 
    • Friday 17 April 2026 – 12.30pm to 4.30pm

Parent Access to Campus 

A reminder to all parents and guardians that you are not permitted to access the College Campus between the hours of 8.00am and 4.00pm, unless you have signed in at the office and are accompanied by a staff member. The exception to this is the Uniform Shop and primary school families for pick up and drop off. If you are collecting your child from Secondary Homework Club, you must arrange to meet them in the carpark or see a staff member at the front desk.  

This is an important Child Safeguarding measure.  

Afterschool Duty of Care 

A reminder to parents that students need to be picked up or have left campus no later than 3.40pm each day. At this time, duty will cease. Homework Club is available to all Marcellin students Monday to Thursday until 5.00pm in the John Henry Newman Hub.
