Please click here to view the Year 11 and 12 Examination timetable for Semester Two.

Unless otherwise specified, exams commence at 8.30am and 1.00pm. Late arrival at an exam will not entitle a student to additional time.

If a senior student is absent for an exam or in-class assessment, then substantiating documentation must be provided to the Studies Office. In most cases, this will be a doctor's certificate. During 2020, a Respiratory Clinic Certificate for COVID-19 testing has also been acceptable. 

Missed examinations by senior students without a medical certificate are treated in the same manner as other missed assessments.

Head of Professional Learning

All Junior School library books are due back by the end of Week 6 (Friday 20 November). 

Thank you.

Teacher Librarian

Hurry - the course commences next week.

Enrolments need to be finalised by the end of this week (Friday 19 February 2021).

Pre-orders closes this Friday, 27 November 2020

The Year 12 Year Book, Omega, is available to pre-order. 

The book will feature individual student profiles, photos, farewell messages, graduation speeches and major awards, covering Year 12 students’ Marist experiences. 

The cost of the book is $25 a copy. 

Completed order forms need to be handed into the Finance Office by this Friday, 27 November 2020. Omega will be available for collection on Wednesday 16 December when Year 12 students receive their Senior Secondary Certificate.   

This year, we are asking members of the Marist Community to join us in making a difference to peoples’ lives by making donations of non-perishable foods, toys, gift cards, toiletries, sporting equipment and school supplies. Essentially, anything that would make a Christmas an enjoyable one can be donated. We ask that all gifts remain unwrapped so they can be easily identified and given to the right families. Please also ensure any food given has an expiry date beyond six months so families have plenty of time to consume it.

Please be advised: donations for this year's Appeal are due by early next week. Thank you to those who have already donated. 

Donations by Senior School students and staff can be made through House Group and hamper baskets are located with House Group leaders. 

Collections within the Junior School

During the next week, we are asking for donations from Junior School students for the Vinnies Christmas Appeal. Each year level in the Junior School has been allocated specific gift types and one donation from each boy would be fantastic. St Vincent dedicated his life to serving the poor and we aim to continue his humble work.

We would love your support in helping local families celebrate the joy of Christmas during what has been a tough year for many.
