Newman News Term 1 Week 10: From the Deputy Principal Wellbeing Secondary
As a Catholic and Marist community, we are challenged to live out the Gospel values of Jesus Christ in our everyday actions and words. Over the Term, students on the Marcellin Campus have pledged their commitment to service by their involvement with Caritas, supporting the College Twilight Tours for prospective families and by participating in extra-curricular commitments. Respectful relationships and positive partnerships between students and teachers have been demonstrated across all aspects of College life and in times of difficulty, we have come together in solidarity and compassion for one another.
Congratulations to all students for a great Term and wonderful start to the year; especially our Year 7 students who have settled beautifully into high school.
I wish everybody, a restful and holy Easter time of reflection and prayer.
