From the Vice Principal – Term 3 Wek 8

ACC A Division (Secondary) and IPSHA (Year 3-6) Athletics Carnivals

Next week, our Newman College Athletics squads head to their interschool carnivals. Years 7–12 compete at the ACC Athletics Carnival on Wednesday 17 September at the WA Athletics Stadium. Years 3–6 take part in the IPSHA Athletics Carnival on Thursday 18 September at All Saints College.

Thank you to Ms Marnie Barrett, Ms Hannah Barnsley and our Health and Physical Education staff for their work with the squads. Best of luck to all students competing, and we look forward to hearing of your efforts, teamwork and personal bests.

Year 12 Music Exchange

On Monday 22 September, the College will welcome 23 students and accompanying staff from Sacred Heart College in Adelaide, to join our students in a Music Exchange Program. Over the week, the two schools will combine for Percussion, Concert Band and Choir rehearsals and masterclasses, culminating in a concert on Thursday 25 September.  Students will also visit a local retirement village to perform for residents (including Brothers Noel Hickey and Terry Orrell) and Sacred Heart students will spend time sightseeing around Perth. The program will be a great opportunity for students to diversify their musical training experiences and create connections with students from within our Marist School network.
