Semester Two Exams Our Year 11 and 12 students have been sitting exams during the week with Year 9 and 10 commencing their exams for Semester 2 over the coming days. The examination period is an opportunity to demonstrate what has been learnt during the semester and is an important skill in itself acquired through practice. For this reason our Year 9 and 10 students undergo the same procedures and expectations of conduct which they can expect in the VCE Exams. Exam Time: “an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and an important skill.” Remembrance Day Next Sunday we pause at 11.00am for prayer and a minute’s silence as we mourn past conflict and the ongoing tragedy of violence in the world. On 11 November, 1918 the armistice was called to end the death and destruction of the Great War. Since that time we have marked the eleventh hour of this day as a time to remember those who have been the victims of our collective tendency to violence and we continue to pray for peace and compassion. Almost a century on and Australians are serving overseas in such places as Afghanistan, Iraq, East Timor and Solomon Islands. As we pray for world peace let us not accept the world as it is but rather work and pray for the world as it should be. Parent Survey Reminder The parent survey that was mailed to all families last week is due on 12 November . The survey can be returned in the Reply Paid envelope or completed on line by using the link listed below. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes for you to complete and we would appreciate you answering the questions honestly based on your personal experiences with the school. You are presented with a list of statements which relate to various aspects of your child(ren’s) School. You will need to rate each statement on a 10 point scale.

250 days to go! The Youth of the World are

coming to Sydney, July 2008.

Where will you be when 20,000 pilgrims arrive in

Melbourne?

Will you be in Sydney in the middle of 500,000 young people or will you be a spectator, sitting at home watching the World’s largest voluntary gathering, wishing you had submitted the form?

Numerous invitations have gone out to students in Years 9, 10 and 11 to participate in the 2008 World Youth Day pilgrimage. Thank you to the students who have put in their expression of interest. A challenge has been set for those who haven’t yet put in their forms to do so.

Don’t just think about it, do it! It will happen!

You only have two options; you could be watching it from Melbourne with all the boys at Marcellin or you could be a part of the action along with the rest of the World. It’s not too late hand in your form to the Ministry Office.

All students and families who have handed in their form look out for important dates coming up. A parent and pilgrim (student) Information Evening will be held on Monday 19 November at 6:30 pm in the Champagnat Chapel. Parents will receive information about World Youth Day 2008 and have their questions answered. We look forward to seeing you there.

Jack Hoysted Award 2007

Year 11 students interested in applying for the Award

Jack Hoysted was a teacher at Marcellin during the 1970’s and 1980’s. He may be remembered as a man who had a great care for students - in the Marist tradition, a powerful personality and teacher who taught with passion and verve. He was a great story teller whose stories lifted students out of the limits of the classroom and challenged them to dream and wonder about places and people beyond their own experience. The Jack Hoysted Memorial Award, at the request of his wife and family was established after his death so that students could be experience opportunities that Jack never had.

Fours students are sponsored to attend the Marist Mission in Santa Teresa Alice Springs. This covers air-fare and insurance. Students receiving the Award are asked to make a donation to the Marist Brother Community who host and assist our students with this immersion experience.

Students leave for Santa Teresa upon the completion of their End of Year Exams for the duration of two weeks.

To apply for the Jack Hoysted Memorial Award you must obtain written permission from your parents and include a formal letter of support from them along with your letter of application addressed to Mr Mark Merry, Principal of Marcellin College.

Closing date for applications is Friday 9 November, 2007.
