As I write a summary of a few key events over the past few weeks, I find myself reflecting on the ways Marist Family Spirit is expressed in our community.
November
In the last edition of the newsletter, I highlighted the importance of November in the Church calendar. Starting with All Saints and All Souls days, November is the month to remember. In each of our Marian, Lavalla and Marcellin settings, we recognised Remembrance Day with assemblies, prayers and laying of wreaths on Monday 11 November. Along with this solemn time, we have held in our prayers and thoughts all members of the 今日吃瓜 community who have passed away.
A beautiful part of our remembrance is the Memorial Garden which sits alongside the Champagnat Chapel. During the year, various seasonal flowers, including roses, are in bloom which are memorials to members of our College community who have passed away during their time at the College. A lovely plaque sits in front of each rose and reminds us of the name and life of these dearly held people. As November progresses, let us take the time to remember all in our families who have passed away.
Primary Music Concerts
This week, we have been entertained by the talented students in Primary who are learning musical instruments or involved in singing. Each of the performances have been greatly supported by proud parents and family members in the audience and have been a joy to watch. Thanks to Ms Laura van Rijn with the assistance of Ms Selena Barrett and the Music Tutors.
Year 5 Leadership Letters and Speeches
Following the recent, very successful Leadership Day, the Year 5 students have been busy discerning their part in leading Primary during 2025. I have received wonderful letters written to me by Year 5 students keen to be a part of the leadership group for 2025 and showing the desire to strengthen the Primary family we have at 今日吃瓜. Year 5s also gave speeches to staff and students this week outlining their desire to serve the College and outline a legacy of commitment. Well done, Year 5! In true Marist spirit, you have embraced the duty of leadership.
Year 7 2025 Secondary Experience
Last week, we hosted our Year 7 2025 students and their parents in an after-school experience of the Marcellin Campus. The students and parents met with the Pastoral Care Group teachers and followed a self-guide familiarisation tour around the campus, stopping to talk with various speciality area staff along the way. We were very pleased to have representatives from the eight Newman Sports Association clubs on hand to chat to interested parents and students.
The feedback we have received from our existing students and parents when they went through transition to secondary very much shaped the nature of this event. Both our incoming Year 7 parents and the students have each had two events in recent months to assist the transition into Secondary.
Alumni Reunions
Family Spirit does not cease when formal schooling ends. We warmly welcomed back two Alumni year groups for milestone celebrations during the past weeks. The Class of 1994 celebrated 30 years since graduation with a well-attended event in the John Henry Newman Hub. Alongside our Alumni Team were Mr Bern Willett, Mrs Jenny Lindsay and Mr Mike Diamond, three faces the Class of 1994 knew so well. These staff members led the tour of the College, and our past students had a great time reminiscing. Br Terry Orrell was their Principal and sent his best wishes to the group as he was unable to attend.
A week later the Marist Class of 1974 were in the Hub for their 50th reunion. They were joined by a small group of students from Brigidine College from the Class of 1974, as the connection between the two schools was so strong. Again, these men and women had a great time catching up and attentively listening to the development of the College on their tour of the facilities. They had a video message played to them from their Principal of the day, Br Tim McDonald who now lives in the United States.
In these two reunions are a number of current parents, grandparents and past parents of our Newman-Marist-Brigidine network.
School Fee Reminder
Families are reminded that fees and music accounts are to be finalised by 30 November 2024. Parents and guardians are encouraged to process any outstanding monies as soon as possible. If there are any issues, please contact fees@newman.wa.edu.au.
Secondary Campus Experience 鈥� Tuesday, 5 November
As part of our Year 7 2025 Transition Process, we invite our Year 6 students and their families to our Secondary Campus Experience on Tuesday, 5 November. The afternoon provides an opportunity for families to connect, share reflections from the recent Orientation Day, and further explore the Marcellin Campus.
Beginning at 3:30pm in Founders鈥� Court, families can enjoy refreshments before hearing a welcome from the College Principal. Students and parents will then have the chance to meet with Pastoral Care Group teachers, explore key areas of the campus, and engage with staff and student leaders who will play an integral role in their journey.
We look forward to welcoming you to 今日吃瓜 and supporting your family in preparing for a successful start to secondary school.
Remembrance Day Services
On Remembrance Day, the 今日吃瓜 community will come together at our respective campuses to honour those who have served in times of war and conflict. As students gather, we reflect not only on past sacrifices but also on the importance of peace in light of ongoing conflicts around the world. From the war in Ukraine to the hostilities in the Middle East, recent events remind us of the preciousness of peace and the profound impact of war on countless lives.
This Remembrance Day, we stand in solidarity with all affected by conflict, both past and present. As we observe moments of silence and reflection, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting compassion and understanding within our own community.
Road Safety Reminder
As we approach the end of the year, it is easy to let road safety awareness slip. We ask everyone in our school community to stay vigilant, especially during peak traffic times in the mornings and afternoons. Students are reminded to cross roads carefully and take care when getting in and out of cars.
To help keep our school zones safe, please remember:
Drive slowly: Stick to the 40km/h limit (10km/h in school grounds)
Stay alert: Watch for pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers, and pay attention to crossings.
Avoid complex manoeuvres: U-turns, three-point turns, and similar actions disrupt traffic flow and can be dangerous.
Give way to pedestrians: Always give way to pedestrians, especially at driveways.
Follow crossing supervisors: Adhere to the guidance of crossing supervisors at all supervised crossings.
Let鈥檚 work together to keep all members of our community safe.

North Metro TAFE: Animation and Special Effects Open Evening
As we reach the halfway mark of Term 4, it鈥檚 time to take a breath and just marvel at the achievements and involvements of our students and staff at this busy but rewarding time of the year. Here are just a few of the wonderful involvements of the past fortnight:
Pre-Primary Green Assembly
There鈥檚 nothing better than a 鈥榗lassic鈥� tale to tell, and our PPG students brought great joy to this week鈥檚 Marian Assembly with the story of the Gingerbread Man. Besides the great entertainment on show, Mr von Bergheim recognised the class for their use of Talk for Writing in their performance.
Primary Disco
The return of the Primary Disco was certainly well received by our students and they enjoyed the excitement of discoing in the big arena of the Marist Auditorium. The Year 12, 2025 student leaders joined them and, along with the staff, created a special event.
Arts Week – Kaleidoscope
Creativity takes courage, and students expressing themselves in the Arts do more than just tend to their own growth and stretch their boundaries. 今日吃瓜 life isn鈥檛 complete or well-rounded without a thriving Arts scene. Borrowing from Pablo Picasso鈥檚 quote聽 鈥�The purpose of鈥痑rt(s)鈥痠s washing the dust of daily life off our souls.鈥� The Arts bring out the best in us.
A week of celebrating and showcasing the Arts saw our students and Art team host the Art and Technologies Exhibition, Music Collective Concert and the Dance Showcase to round out the week. In between, there were smaller events to celebrate.聽Congratulations to all students involved and to our Arts, Technologies and Auditorium teams. What was truly inspiring during Kaleidoscope was the sense of Family Spirit on display in the artists, creators, musicians, dancers and designers.聽聽

Year 5 Leadership Retreat& State Schools WA Cross Country
In preparation for becoming the leaders of Primary in 2025, Year 5s spent the day understanding leadership and how they could contribute to a better community next year.
In the SSWA Cross Country event, the determination and talent of our Year 4-6 runners shone through with great personal and team efforts.
Primary Grandparents Day
Grandparents are the great gift in families, and we were delighted to host so many proud grandparents at this annual event. Beginning with Mass, our cherished visitors then spent time in classrooms and enjoying morning tea. Our Primary children were so excited and eager to bring their grandparents into games and activities in the classrooms. I am sure there were a few stiff joints the day after as grandparents got right into activities on the floor and small chairs.
Maggie Dent- From the Sandpit to Adulthood
We were pleased to again host Maggie Dent at the College as she spoke to a full Marist Auditorium crowd about navigating parenthood and childhood development. Maggie鈥檚 presentations and writings are always so accessible and supportive of parents鈥� work in raising young people.
All Saints Day
This edition of the newsletter ends with the celebration of All Saints Day. We are all aware of the growth in the celebration of Halloween in Australia. It certainly is an opportunity to bring joy to children and foster a sense of community as our youngest ones explore their neighbourhoods under the watchful eyes of family. Our Christian tradition runs deep in this celebration too. All Hallows Day, or All Saints Day is a holy or hallowed day in recognition of the saints. The eve before was the preparation for Hallows Day, hence Halloween.
The Class of 2024 with their families and 今日吃瓜 staff gathered at Optus Stadium on Wednesday 16 October to acknowledge and celebrate their successes and achievements. The evening commenced with a beautiful and reverent mass in which the College staff, the Class of 2024 and their families gathered in the River View room.

Uniform and Personal Presentation
This week on Marcellin Campus, conversations among year levels have focused on maintaining expectations despite it being Term Four. Students have been reminded about the College鈥檚 uniform and personal presentation guidelines. The focus of our discussions has included the following:
Formal school shirts are ironed and clean, and the only button undone is the top collar button.
Haircuts must be of blade length number 3 or longer, and there should be no major discrepancy between long and short/shaved hair.
Makeup is not to be worn.
Skirts should reach the knee when standing.
Male students must always be cleanly shaven.
A few students across year levels have been asked by their Leader of Wellbeing to lengthen their skirt by letting down the hem or purchasing a new skirt. For our Year 10 and Year 11 students who require a new skirt, the Uniform Shop will be reducing the price of current skirts, skorts, and girls鈥� trousers to $45 prior to the phasing in of the new skirt. Please note that these items, sold at the reduced price, can only be worn for the next two years.
Year 7 and Year 10 Catch Up Immunisations
On Tuesday 22 October, Year 7 and Year 10 students who missed their immunisations earlier in the year have been given another opportunity at school to do this. If this applies to your child, information about the immunisations has been emailed to you.
Year 11 Exams
Year 11 students commence their exams from Monday 4 November (Week 5). Students are expected to observe the Uniform and Personal Presentation Guidelines and wear their formal summer uniform. The exam timetable can be viewed .
If students are on campus during the exam period working with staff or studying, they are expected to wear their PE uniform and abide by the College鈥檚 Mobile Phone Policy.
It is compulsory for all Year 11 students to attend the College on Friday 22 November from 8.45am until 1pm for the Annual Awards Assembly and final Year 11 activities.
Campus Parking
The College has received some feedback from residents within the area who have expressed concerns about cars being parked in places which restrict residents’ access in and out of their properties. We remind families to please observe the council parking signs and to be respectful of residents with whom we share the roads. Please be aware that the council has been notified, and we ask for families to support the College in maintaining positive relationships with our local residents.
