On Thursday February 11, the College held it's 2016 Leadership Induction Assembly which saw this year's Student Leaders across Years 6-12 inducted and our VCE 2015 High Achievers acknowledged.

The Leadership induction ceremony was led faithfully by Fr. Martin Ashe who then handed over to our 2016 College Captains Betsey and Adrian along with fellow leaders to commence their Leadership Pledge.

You can watch our 2016 Student Leaders recite their pledge HERE.

The College then welcomed back and acknowledged our VCE 2015 High Achievers and congratulated them on their recent academic success. This section of the event was highlighted by an outstanding speech to 2016 students from our College Dux Ms Nakita Costanzo. Nakita's commitment and dedication to her academic studies across both of her VCE years is to be commended and is something which all current students can aspire to.

The assembly concluded with Mr. Kenny's first official address for 2016.

Last Thursday February 4, the Parents and Friends Committee at Marymede Catholic College held their anunal Prep parents Morning Tea.

This is a popular event each year providing an opportunity for some of the newest Parents in the Marymede Community to meet and have a chat with one another whilst also learning about the P&F Committee and ways in which they support the College.

The Parents & Friends Committee is made up of enthusiastic parents who all share the positive vision and values of the College. Activities of the Parents and Friends Committee may be of a social nature, for fundraising, or assistance with important College events. The Committee also acts as a point of liaison between businesses and organisations in our wider community.

We'd like to acknowledge the P&F for organising this great event and thank all parents in attendance on the day. We strongly encourage any parent/guardian interesting beocming a member of the Committee to contact them via paf@marymede.vic.edu.au.

Term 1 2016 has seen many exciting mornings already take place, with both our new Year 7 students and new Prep students commencing their Secondary and Primary School journeys respectively, in addition to several new students across Years 1-6 and 8-12.

The yards at Marymede Catholic College saw lots of smiles, cuddles, and even some tears as parents sent their children off on new adventures and exciting new journeys began. We are pleased to report that all students have settled into class well.

Our Year 7 students have been busy learning their new timetables with the asisstance of Senior students and also enjoying a raft of new subjects, whilst our Prep students introduction into Primary School will continue over the coming weeks as they move into full days/weeks at School.
