Hello families, 

Wati House have been extremely busy adding the CMCC community and continue to be positive members of our College. From the assessment completion, sporting carnival all the way to our High School musical, Year 7 and Year 8 are offering so many wonderful qualities. In terms of positive action, I would like to extend a huge congratulations to all students on their increased respect and reverence in our school assemblies and liturgies. This aligns with the quote from Catherine McAuley “Let us take one day only in hands at a time. Resolve to do good today and better tomorrow.” I believe our students are on a journey of learning to keep personally growing and it has been exhibited through the cohort highlights below.

This term, Year 7 students have continued to develop and strengthen Positive Relationships both in and out of the classroom. It is great to see students responding so positively to this focus and continuing to build respectful and supportive connections with others. We are incredibly proud of those who have taken part in liturgies, the Reconciliation Week Assembly, and a range of College co-curricular activities. Their enthusiasm, commitment, and respect reflect the College values in action.

It was also fantastic to witness the success, joy, and competitive spirit of our students during the Multi-Sport Cup this week, a true celebration of teamwork and positive engagement.

A reminder to all students: consistently upholding College expectations, even in the small things, helps create a positive and respectful environment for everyone here at CMCC.

This term, our Year 8 students have been exploring the theme “Try Everything”—inspired by the uplifting Shakira song of the same name. The message behind the music encourages students to embrace challenges, keep moving forward after setbacks, and grow through their experiences. It’s a celebration of resilience, self-belief, and the courage to be yourself, even when things don’t go perfectly.

To deepen this theme, we’re excited to be holding our Year 8 Reflection Day on June 16 at Dixon Park. The focus of the day is 'Improving Sense of Self'—a chance for students to reflect on who they are, how they relate to others, and how they can continue building a strong and positive identity. Students are reminded to wear appropriate, suitable plain clothes and to come prepared for a day outdoors, including bringing a hat, sunscreen, water, and lunch. We look forward to a meaningful day where students can pause, connect, and continue the journey of becoming their best selves. 

United in Mercy,
