Awards presented at the Marcellin Academic Assembly
Alongside the Academic Excellence Award, numerous students at Marcellin were honoured with the Success Award. This award acknowledges their achievements across various domains, including academic effort and improvement, trade learning, employability skills, and embodying Marist characteristics.
Last week, approximately 30 students from both the Marian and Marcellin campuses joined in with a community walk to raise awareness and money for the Hutt St. Centre. We were privileged to walk alongside other people in our community from the McLaren Value Primary School, Willunga Wanderers, and Willunga High School. In the early morning hours, at 6:30 am we gathered in the cold to prepare for the long walk ahead. After some presentations and thank yous, we set off on the official walk. With a couple of breaks and lunch stops on the way, we were greeted by the Hutt St. Centre team with a lot of excitement and refreshments at the end of the day.
Our students walked a huge 46kms from McLaren Vale Primary School to Hutt Street Centre in the city – we are so proud of these wonderful young people. They represented our school and themselves extremely well not only throughout the day but also through partaking in this incredible initiative. It took over 10 hours to complete the walk (with stops) – a task that should not be underestimated. It was physically and mentally challenging and these students did it for a good cause. We are so grateful for everyone’s support within our community (student, staff, and families). We were able to raise just over $10,000 – a figure we are hoping to continue building upon for term.
A reflection from Astrid, a Year 11 student from Marian who also participated in the social media takeover for the day:
"I really enjoyed the experience as although there were challenging parts, the continuous support between one another, the music, the laughs, and the newfound friendships really helped along the way. The walk also put into perspective our reason behind why we were raising money because although the walk wasn’t easy, when we arrived at Hutt St Centre it demonstrated that while we may have been in physical pain it did not compare to the seriousness of homelessness in SA." -Astrid, Year 11 Student
We can’t wait to walk again next year for this incredible cause. Congratulations once again to all our walkers!
To further reduce the number of items ending up in landfills, the Middle School students and staff conducted a bin audit to see what was in their bins.
Their first step is to ensure that food waste is placed in the correct bin for composting.
Year 9 student Jett organised a Forms survey to gather feedback from each student immediately after the bin audit on what they think the most important next step should be.
Stay tuned for updates!
Congratulations to Marcellin Year 10 students in Crew J who took out the final of the Marcellin indoor soccer competition this week.
Organised by Mr Charl Abd Elmalk, the competition began last term, concluding in the final on Tuesday!
Well done to Crew G, Year 11 students who finished runners up in the grand final.
Our Year 5/6 SAPSASA girls have advanced to the finals after winning their second-round match at McLaren Flat on Tuesday. We would like to express our gratitude to our amazing coach, Tristan Sampson. The girls are thrilled to have the chance to play in the final in week 6.
A group of Marian Year 7s and 8s attended a presentation by historian and author Mark Greenwood.
Mark brought history to life and captivated the students with tales from Australian history based on his travels. He encouraged them to be curious about historical mysteries and shared useful tips to help them enhance their writing.
Feedback from our students:
- “One of the best assemblies I have been to.”
- “I liked how well he spoke and how interesting he made it and how much detail he put into his story.”
- “I learnt that everything you can see can be a story with a bit of imagination.”
- “His storytelling abilities and ability to notice and observe is amazing…how does he do it?”
The students were highly engaged and demonstrated their enthusiasm when they raced to borrow Mark's books from the Resource Centre (they were all gone minutes after his presentation finished!) and many requests to staff to order more of his books.
A huge thank you to Mark for visiting Cardijn and presenting to our students. We hope that some of our students will be part of the next generation of 'history hunters'.
This Monday, our theme is 'Hungry Caterpillars'. We will be getting crafty with Hungry Caterpillar stamping!
