From the Principal<br />
At the start of every year, I welcome our new students to Marymede. I encourage them to<br />
involve themselves in as many aspects of school life as possible. Our College continues to see<br />
education broadly, encompassing academic, spiritual, social, cultural and physical learning<br />
experiences. We urge our students to ‘have a go’ at as many different activities as possible<br />
and to enjoy all of the various opportunities which are presented to them here. The fact that<br />
so many of them see no internal contradiction in playing sport with as much passion as they<br />
perform in our Musical production, sing in the Choir or fundraise for our school charities is<br />
evidence that our encouragement is working.<br />
As Principal, I gain great satisfaction from attending many of the activities highlighted in this<br />
edition and the one common denominator between them all is a genuine sense of enthusiasm,<br />
engagement and pride in Marymede that comes from taking part.<br />
We now have wonderful facilities and with the addition of a new Early Learning Centre aesthetically, our College is<br />
second-to-none. However, what makes Marymede great is its people and the sense of community that our school<br />
provides for our staff, so many students and their families.<br />
Our College is in a strong position and with the opening of the Mernda Rail Extension next month, will become even<br />
stronger.<br />
I commend to you Mary’s <strong>Way</strong> and congratulate our Registrar, Matthew Luczek, for his work in capturing the fullness of<br />
life at our College over the past six months.<br />
Mr. Michael Kenny<br />
