We had a wonderful week welcoming our friends from Ikubunkan High School, Japan. 🇯🇵🤝🇦🇺 Over the course of their visit, our special guests experienced life at Marian College alongside their student buddies, who helped them navigate school life, build friendships and practise their English while sharing a little of Australian culture. To celebrate the conclusion of their visit, we gathered on Monday to farewell our friends, where the students received certificates to acknowledge their participation. Opportunities like these create meaningful connections, broaden perspectives and remind us of the value of learning from one another. Thank you to our Ikubunkan visitors for sharing your culture, kindness and enthusiasm with our community. We wish you all the very best and hope to welcome you back again one day! 🌏🫶

As our Year 12 students begin their HSC Trial Examinations on Monday, we hold them in our thoughts and prayers during this significant milestone in their final year at Marian. Through our Student Prayer Partner Program, each Year 12 student has been paired with a Marian staff member who is praying for them individually as they navigate the Trial and HSC exams. We invite the wider Marian community to join us in prayer for our Year 12 students—that they may be filled with calm, courage, focus and resilience. May God bless them with clarity of mind, strength in their preparation, and confidence in all they have learned. God bless Year 12 and Good Luck! 🙏🙏🙏

Our Year 7 students spent yesterday taking part in a series of engaging wellbeing workshops designed to support their personal growth, confidence and resilience. The boys participated in 'The Character We Forge', exploring how character is shaped through the challenges we face and the choices we make. Through powerful stories, including those shared by guest speaker Jay Stevens, students reflected on resilience, respect, confidence, brotherhood and the importance of setting high personal standards. The girls took part in 'The Butterfly Effect', delivered by Enlighten Education, which focused on building confidence, fostering healthy friendships, developing resilience, practising gratitude and encouraging a positive self-image. These workshops provided valuable opportunities for our students to reflect on who they are, the values they want to live by, and the positive impact their everyday choices can have on themselves and those around them.

Our staff were privileged to learn from neuroscientist Dr Mark Williams during yesterday's Staff Development Day. Dr Williams shared fascinating insights into how the brain learns, the importance of attention, memory and sleep, and the powerful role that positive relationships play in student learning. The session also explored the impact of technology and distractions on learning and highlighted practical strategies to help students thrive. We look forward to applying these evidence-informed approaches in our classrooms to continue providing the best possible learning experiences for our students. 🧠📚

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?

If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

📝 HSC Practice Trial Examinations 📝 Today, our Year 12 students, together with our accelerated Year 10 and Year 11 students, commenced their HSC Practice Trial Examinations. Held over three days across the majority of HSC courses, these examinations provide students with a valuable opportunity to experience exam conditions and receive detailed feedback. Students can then use this feedback to refine their knowledge, skills and exam techniques before the official HSC Trial Examinations in August. Congratulations to all of our students for the positive way they have approached these examinations. We wish them every success as they continue to give their best throughout the week.
