From the Principal

As we come close to the final week of Term 1, I take this opportunity to offer gratitude to our parents and their daughters. There is no doubt that we begin the school year with a long and jam packed term.

Throughout Project Compassion 2019, our students have heard many inspiring stories from Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Australia, Solomon Islands, Vietnam and Bangladesh. These stories highlight the importance of working hand in hand with others and empowering people to be agents for change.

Tenison claimed victory at the 2019 Athletics Carnival. Friday 15 March, 2019 was a day where multiple Batmans, Captain Americas, Spider Men and Hulks filled SA Athletics Stadium.

This March our St Capitanio Sisters came to visit us at Mary MacKillop College. The St Capitanio sisters have spent some time with our Year 10 students.

2019 is the 125th Anniversary of the Woman’s Suffrage plight in South Australia. This youth week is an opportunity to celebrate equality and diversity, celebrate our historical successes and plan for the future ones!

The City of Marion would like to acknowledge the contribution young people make to our community every day and hope you can join us at one of the scheduled events during this week.

For more information, please see the following event program.

Let us pray,

We pray for every member of our community
that during this Lent all will sincerely
and humbly repent of their sins.

We pray for the work of Project Compassion
in developing youthful leadership
which preserves and promotes the culture
and art of Australia’s Indigenous people.

Amen.

The National Youth Science Forum is a summer school program which aims to help students entering Year 12 make informed decisions about their future career path in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). After a lengthy application process, we attended the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) at the Australian National University in Canberra from Wednesday 2 January to Sunday 13 January.

On Monday 25 March, the Year 12 Chemistry class visited the Chemistry laboratories at Flinders University and participated in practical activities that reinforced theory work covered in class related to analytical techniques used to identify and quantify unknown chemicals found in different materials.
