Welcome to our latest addition of all things Year 8. With the warmer weather, it's timely to reminder everyone that hats must worn outdoors during Term 1 and Term 4. The rule is that if you don’t have a hat, you are to stay in McAuley Square in the undercover area. Well done to our Year 8 students for modelling the correct wearing of the College bucket hat.

Commendations Update

Please congratulate our latest recipients of commendations: Esme Mennen and Olivia Parker Bronze Commendation, with 10 or more commendations and Ava Giblin with a Gold Commendation, that is 30 or more. 

Well done girls, on the recognition and for upholding the Catherine McAuley College Bendigo values.

Student Showcase - Artwork

Congratulations Mar Dret Mary, for his very lifelike portrait sketch of Liam Byrne. Both boys were photographed with the sketch and the real person side by side. It’s almost eerie how similar they are. Well done!

Academic Reflections

Academic Reflections will occur every Wednesday from now on in MYG-02. This is for:

• For those students who have not completed class tasks
• For those students who have not worked well

If you have one of these reflections, you must go to MYG-02 on a Wednesday with the work that you need to complete.

Elective Swaps

If you find that you need to change an elective, you will have the opportunity to do this in Week 8 of Term 4.  Feel free to ask if you have any further questions. Students and parents/carers are encouraged to ask for help if required.
