Cardijn Connect - W1, T2 2023

Marian students gathered in Student Central this week as the Cardijn College Army Cadet Unit hosted an ANZAC Service. The Last Post was performed by Year 10 student Lauren. Lest We Forget.

We are looking forward to welcoming the Cardijn community to the Careers and Pathways Expo on Wednesday 21 June from 2.30 - 5.00pm in the Marian Campus Gym. A variety of different industries and organisations will be represented, with presentations from some major brands, including the University of Adelaide.

Over the coming weeks we will highlight some of the key presenters we will be hosting at the expo. Running parallel with the expo, participants will have access to presentations, including the University of Adelaide Jobs of the Future.

It is estimated that over 40% of jobs are at risk of becoming automated in the next 20 years. The aim of this presentation is to generate thinking about the jobs of the future, and what this could mean for future career direction. Hear about emerging technologies and industries, as well as the skills that will be needed to thrive in an ever-changing workforce.

Not long now! Marcellin's new Engineering and Automotive Workshop ​is on track to be completed later this year.

Kicking off this term, students at Galilee held an Easter Mass. This was the first time the whole school community has gathered for 2023, including new Reception students.

Easter is the most important celebration in the Catholic calendar, remembering the new life we are offered through Christ’s resurrection. To help connect with the theme each class used their creativity to contribute a symbol of “New Life” for the Mass' sacred space.

Catholic School Parents SA presents an inspirational evening with Gill Hicks MBE AM Resilience - a raw conversation with Gill on her personal story of strength, gratitude and how it relates to families.

From the Deputy Principal

Over the holiday break our students represented the College at a number of different Easter Masses, Anzac vigils and dawn services. The way these students represented our community was outstanding. I would like to particularly acknowledge the Cardijn College Army Cadet Unit 430 who formed part of the honour guard at the Morphett Vale dawn service, standing in shifts at the eternal flame from 6:00pm right through to 6:00am when they also took place in the dawn service. An incredible achievement and a wonderful act of remembrance as we honour those ANZACs who served, and the active members of our defence forces who continue to serve today.
 
As we begin Term 2, we welcome our students back to school in their winter uniforms. The way our students, across all three campuses, have presented themselves as they have returned to school has been exceptional. We have made a concerted effort to raise the standards regarding uniform and presentation across the College and we are grateful for your support in this endeavour. The uniform is an important aspect of our school as it assists in creating a sense of identity, builds solidarity and allows every young person to feel a sense of equity and belonging as they focus on what is most important, their learning. Thank you again for your support - I know there were a number of ‘tie tying’ lessons late Sunday evening!!
 
Best wishes for a successful Term 2!

Patrick Harmer
Deputy Principal
