Recently, members of the Year 12 Media Class of 2014 were invited to return to our College as guest speakers and run a SAT Masterclass/Q&A Session with the current Year 12 students.
The panel, which featured Madeline Lancaster, Nicholas Musto, Rebecca Pannell, Teagan Carlton, Genna Sbaglia and Amy Williams, discussed their triumphs, tribulations, and pioneering achievements of completing VCE Media last year. The panel reflected on what they learnt and gave the current students some invaluable advice on preparing for exams and assessment tasks, and how to succeed in their studies. Our students found the masterclass to be very insightful and motivating and they enjoyed hearing about their former peers’ experiences and successes.
Rebecca Pannell and Amy Williams have both gone on to study Media at Swinburne University of Technology.

Marymede College Captain Michael Manoussakis (Year 12), is currently preparing for the trip of a lifetime after successfully winning a coveted place in the National Youth Science Forum’s International Programme.
Michael, who is 1 of only 44 successful students across the country, will now travel to New Brunswick, Canada on May 8 and will represent Australia at the Canada-wide Science Fair, talking to local Primary and Secondary school students about advancements in Australian science and Australia in general.
Michael’s journey to Canada began some 12 months ago, where he was selected after an initial application and interview to represent the Diamond Creek Rotary Club in the State selections for the National Youth Science Forum in Canberra. This annual Forum gathers the best and the brightest senior Secondary students from around Australia who are seeking to pursue a career in science. During his time in our nation’s capital, Michael visited a variety of science facilities, listened to eminent scientists, and participated in regular debates.
Michael would then go on to write a detailed formal application for the National Youth Science Forum International Programme outlining his passion for Chemistry and ambition to study Materials Science.
Michael’s application was successful and he was subsequently awarded a place in this prestigious programme.
We congratulate Michael on his outstanding achievement and wish him all the very best in Canada.

Film School is back in session for 2015 commencing on Wednesday the 6th of May!
Marymede Film School is a co-curricular activity where students from Years 7-12 collaborate on the creation of a short film. Students will form small production teams and specialise in scriptwriting, directing and cinematography, or editing.
The filmmakers will walk the red carpet for the premiere of their short films at our annual 'Iris Media Showcase'
Primary School Mother’s Day Celebrations - Friday May 8 - Period 1 (8.55am - 9.45am)
Marymede Catholic College would like to invite all Primary mothers to join us on the morning of Friday May 8 and celebrate Mother's Day with your child.
Prep: Mother's Day Assembly
Years 1 - 5: Classroom Visits
Year 6: Guild Sports
This event will provide an opportunity for our Primary School mothers to see their child/children in their classroom or on the sporting field and share their Primary School experience.
Parents with multiple children in the Primary School will be able to visit all of their classrooms during this time.
We ask that mothers remain in the outdoor areas e.g. Primary School Courtyard, whilst our students organise themselves for the day and settle into their classroom. Mothers in attendance will also need to allow safe passage for students to enter the Primary School houses. We anticipate this period of the morning to take no longer than 5 minutes. Co-operation during the first 5 minutes of the morning will avoid overcrowding in the open areas of each house/locker bays which can be very overwhelming for students.
We look forward to welcoming our Mother's to the College on this day and take the opportunity to wish all Mums in the Marymede Community a very happy Mother’s Day.

Marymede Catholic College is fortunate to have some outstanding parent volunteers assisting in the Canteen on a regular basis, however, we are always looking for new volunteers and welcome any assistance. Any spare time which parents may have assists the Canteen greatly and does not necessarily have to be a full day.
