Welcome to our first edition of Lumina for 2026. Welcome especially, to those new to our community. Our Year 7 class of 2026 and the 20+ students who join us at other year levels. We hope that you have experienced the hospitality that we boast as one of our fine attributes. Term 1 is busy, so please keep your eye on our calendar in PAM and in Lumina, so that you do not miss out on the opportunities to be involved.

Change to Daily Timetable Structure

We commence 2026 with a different structure to our day. Each period has been shortened by 10 minutes creating the opportunity to have 6 periods per day. We see that there are advantages in moving to a shorter period length now that travel between campuses is unnecessary:

• the lesson will have stronger pacing and a more deliberate beginning, middle and end;
• there will be another touchpoint during the cycle, reducing the risk that learning is forgotten between classes;
• and there should be a reduction in fatigue as breaks are more regular during each day.

We hope that these benefits become apparent almost immediately and that our young people can maintain focus during their lesson, and reducing the need to take a break during tuition time for water and toilets.

The new bell times are as follows:

Opening School Liturgy and Prefect Investiture

On Tuesday morning we gathered in Logue Hall for liturgy to commence our new year. Our liturgy commenced with our Year 7 students processing into Logue Hall. This is a rich and symbolic tradition as we welcome the newest members to our community and culminates with our Year 12 students processing out of our final assembly at the end of the year. In his homily, Father Jerome spoke to the community about how the readings direct us to think about the gift of life and the role we play in helping others to flourish – academically, physically, socially and spiritually.

Our Prefects were also commissioned, blessed, and presented with badges, and I congratulate each on their willingness to commit to the service of their peers and the College community. We invite the parents and carers of our Prefects to a special family night in a couple of weeks.

Our 2026 Prefect Team are Stella Ligudzinski and Hugo Boddington (College Captains), Maya Taifernopoulos and Jack Prentice-Evans (Vice Captains), Ted McMahon (The Arts), Jahrielle McAlary (Culture and Events), Cameron Hoad (Academia), Dylan Collett (Student Wellbeing), and Charlotte Ogier and Maya Jess (Sport and Co-Curricular).

Year 7 Welcome Mass and Family Night

We welcome our Year 7 students and their families to Mass on Thursday night in the beautiful St Mary’s Church. It is a pleasure to be able to meet several families during the evening to hear something of their aspirations for their young person and to introduce them to their Pastoral Care teacher. Our youngest community members have also had the benefit of a team of Transition Assistants, selected from last year's graduates, to guide them as they navigate the first weeks of secondary school. It is pleasing to hear that most have settled quickly into secondary school and are looking forward to their Year 7 Camp next week.

Understanding Our Pastoral Chain

Each of our students is supported by a pastoral chain and, as we start a new year, it is timely to discuss the make-up of this team and their role. As is often the case, some etymology of the term “pastoral” helps in describing the role. Pastoral relates to the land and, more specifically, to the grazing of animals. In scripture, there are many references to shepherds minding their flocks and the role of the shepherd was to keep their sheep safe from harm, find them nourishment and to ensure that they did not stray. Jesus calls himself The Good Shepherd in John’s gospel.

Our pastoral chains are comprised of:

Pastoral Care Teacher → Year Level Leader → Director of Students (Jen Howard) → Deputy Principal (Shaun Lancashire).

Each level supports the one below and acts as a point of escalation when appropriate. Our Behavioural Tracking system notifies those in the pastoral chain automatically when a concern is lodged. It is important that you bring any wellbeing concerns to the attention of the Pastoral Care Teacher as soon as they become apparent as early intervention is important to good outcomes.

Talk and Tours

We conduct a Talk and Tour every second week and our first for 2026 is on next Thursday. The tours are conducted by student ambassadors and the feedback that we receive is always glowing about our young people and the pride that they display when talking about their school. It is important that prospective families get to hear about our school from our students as this adds a human face to what is otherwise bricks and mortar. Similarly, your recommendation is incredibly powerful in raising awareness of what we are offering and bringing us to the attention of those seeking Catholic co-education for their children. Please tell your family and friends with school-aged children about St Mary’s College as word-of-mouth is a very powerful way of bringing our community to the knowledge of others.

School Uniform

Thank you for your efforts to help ensure that your young person is wearing the correct St Mary’s College uniform as they return to school. The improvement in already noticeable and the public display of pride in our unique St Mary’s identity is a key indicator of a culture of high expectations, something that I know you value. A uniform brochure can be found on our website for further information: https://www.stmaryscollege.vic.edu.au/enrolments/uniform

Parents and Friends Committee

I introduce to you Ms Angela Clelland and Ms Nina Coates who take the mantle as co-chairs of our P&F Committee and thank Ms Leah Lloyd-Smith and Ms Jane Leroi for their dedicated service. The other members of the executive team are Mr Julia Donlan (Secretary), Mr Greg Muir (Treasurer) and Ms Danielle Walker (Second-hand Uniform).

We are fortunate to have a very active and dynamic P&F Committee, and, through their efforts, have been able to upgrade the school facilities including the installation of new air conditioning in Corbette Wing in 2025.

Our P&F met on Monday night and outlined a rich plan of activities to connect families with the College during 2026. You will hear more about these events as the year progresses, and we hope that you are able to participate. The P&F request that you complete a very brief survey so that they can gather some feedback on the sort of things you would like to see our parents’ association focusing on this year. 

Darren Atkinson
Principal

Dear St Mary’s College Families,

A very warm welcome to the 2026 school year to all students, parents and members of the wider St Mary’s College community.

As is always the case, the St Mary’s College teaching and administrative staff returned to work / school a few days before students. These days are essential for planning, as teaching teams met to plan the first weeks and months of the year. With very little staff turnover from 2025, these meetings were mainly about picking up where we left off last year. Following these days, we had welcome day, where students of all year levels came onsite for 2 hours to enable their school photo to be taken, to receive their locker allocation, and for Year 7 students and new students in all year levels to continue to be inducted into their new school.

We received notification last year that the oval and basketball courts to the rear of St Mary’s College which is used for student recreation at recess and lunch, and for PE classes, will both be resurfaced in the early part of 2026. At this stage, temporary fencing has gone up around the oval and cannot be used. The basketball courts remain available. We have plans in place to use the space beyond the basketball courts when they too become out of bounds. Whilst an inconvenience for now, it is a case of short-term pain for long-term gain.

In mid-January, our College Captains, Stella and Hugo, participated in the national EREA student leaders gathering. This year the event was held in Adelaide, where Stella and Hugo participated in a range of leadership activities and importantly, spent time with student leaders from across the country. It is in these sessions that many of the ideas that become the legacy of our leaders are formulated and shifted from intention to action plans.

This week we held our opening college liturgy and prefect investiture on Tuesday morning. As a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition, it was fitting to come together to mark the beginning of another school year with a liturgy. We were fortunate to have our chaplain, Fr. Jerome, with us to lead the liturgy and to bless the badges that our Prefect Team will wear throughout 2026.

At the time of writing, the Year 7 welcome evening is set to take place this evening. This event promises to be a significant one in the early days of inducting our Year 7 students and new families into the culture of St Mary’s College. Thanks to the families of our Year 7 students for the support you have provided your child and the College for a very smooth start to the year.

Year 7 camp takes place next week. This is a wonderful opportunity for our youngest students to spend time together. They will participate in planned activities that will safely stretch them physically and mentally, as well as sharing meals and taking responsibility for the space and place they occupy. In doing so, they will begin to learn to work productively with one another from the very beginning of the six years they will spend together. All the best to Year 7 Pastoral Leader, Lucy Dickson, the Pastoral Care teachers and other staff attending, as well as our Year 7 students.

This year we re-commence Thursday afternoon tutoring, starting next Thursday. High performing recent graduates with the capacity to tutor in a wide range of subject areas at all year levels will be on hand, 3:15pm – 4:45pm every Thursday afternoon in the library.

It was announced in the correspondence from Darren Atkinson at the start of the year that I will be finishing up at St Mary’s College at the end of Term 1, as I commence a new role as Deputy Principal at Kolbe Catholic College in Term 2. I will hold on to my desire to thank people and wish the community well until my final newsletter article later this term, though I want to acknowledge the lovely messages I have received thus far.

Shaun Lancashire
Deputy Principal

At St Mary’s College, we are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment for every child.

Our clear behaviour formation process helps students understand expectations, learn from their choices, and develop positive social skills.

By using a consistent and fair approach, we support positive behaviour in the classroom, within the school grounds, and when students are representing the College. Most importantly, this process is about teaching and guiding students while strengthening the partnership between school and home.

At St Mary’s College, we use the Behaviour Formation Pyramid (see image below) as a key part of our approach. This pyramid is shared with students, displayed around the College, and used to guide conversations about behaviour, ensuring that all students understand the expectations and receive the support they need to succeed.

Level 1

Behaviour that can be resolved in a number of ways, such as a restorative conversation, a change to classroom seating plans, or participation in community service. These incidents are managed by teachers and overseen by Pastoral Care Teachers/Leaders. Repeated incidents may lead to communication home via email, with the aim of preventing escalation to Level 2.

Level 2

Behaviour that often requires students to attend an afterschool Reflection and Development (R&D) session, during which students complete a reflection task based on their actions. These incidents are managed and communicated by Pastoral Care Leaders.

Level 3

Behaviour that could lead to an internal or external suspension, whereby a student is removed from the school environment and completes work. This allows the student to ‘reset’ and reflect on their actions. These incidents are managed and communicated by Pastoral Care Leaders and/or the Director of Students.

Level 4

Behaviour at this level is managed and communicated at the discretion of the Deputy Principal and/or Principal.

Behaviour Support Plans

If a student is unable to regulate or improve their behaviour, they may be issued a Behaviour Support Plan. This is a targeted support plan with student-led goals and strategies, designed to provide consistent guidance both at school and at home.

Communicating Incidents

A fortnightly Student Digest, sent via PAM, provides parents with a snapshot of behaviour incidents.

To improve this process and prevent behaviour escalating to Level 2, we will run a trial during Term 1, whereby teachers may communicate Level 1 incidents with parents/carers via PAM. These incidents include:

1. Disruptive behaviour and non-compliance
2. Incorrect equipment or materials
3. Misuse of mobile or electronic devices
4. Poor manners

If you receive one of these incident reports, we encourage you to have a conversation with your child and discuss school expectations.

If you have any questions regarding behaviour support for your child, please contact their Pastoral Care Teacher or Pastoral Care Leader.

The Ready to Learn Five: Forming Foundations for Learning

At St Mary’s College, our commitment to a strong learning culture is grounded in the belief that every young person is created with God‑given potential and the capacity to grow. Learning is never merely academic for us; it involves the mind, the heart and the spirit working together. This year, as part of our Learning Model, we are strengthening the routines and habits that help students enter each lesson ready to engage, ready to contribute and ready to thrive. Central to this work is the Ready to Learn Five, a clear and consistent set of expectations that shape the beginning of every learning moment.

The Ready to Learn Five are simple yet fundamental to learning at St Mary’s college: students complete all homework and study tasks to the best of their ability; they enter learning spaces calmly, on time and prepared to follow instructions; they bring the materials they need for success; they respect the learning space so that it remains clean, safe and orderly; and they keep devices away until the teacher asks them to use them.

These habits reflect key elements of our Catholic identity. Entering a room calmly and respectfully is a small act of reverence for the people within it. Caring for the environment reflects our commitment to stewardship and gratitude. Applying ourselves to our work honours the gifts God has given each of us. Making space for calmness, order and attention is aligned with the spiritual practice of pausing, centering and being present. In this sense, the Ready to Learn Five are more than routines; they are daily habits that help form character, respect, humility and responsibility within our supportive community.

They are also grounded in what we know about how learning works. Psychologists emphasise the importance of executive functioning, attention and predictable routines for academic success. When students settle into class calmly, have their equipment ready and know what to expect, their cognitive load is reduced. They can focus more, feel less anxious and engage more deeply. These routines create the conditions for effective pedagogy. A calm and ordered environment allows teachers to use rich questioning, deliberate practice, clear explanations and feedback. It allows students to take intellectual risks and persevere through productive struggle. The Ready to Learn Five, though simple, create the climate in which strong teaching can flourish.

This week, we are particularly focusing on respecting the learning space so that it remains safe, clean and orderly. A well‑kept classroom is a powerful contributor to student wellbeing and learning readiness. When the environment is settled, students feel valued and secure. They transition into learning with fewer distractions. They are more able to regulate their emotions and sustain their attention. By teaching students to take responsibility for the environment around them, we also help them develop the habits they will need in future study, the workplace and adult life. Order, care, consideration and follow‑through are qualities that open pathways and build strong, healthy relationships.

Throughout the year, we will continue teaching these habits explicitly and consistently. Teachers will model them, practise them with students and provide feedback with warmth, clarity and high expectations. Our aim is for students to understand not only what the routines are, but why they matter—for their own growth, for their classmates and for the broader culture of the College. This work connects directly to our Learning Model, which emphasises quality instruction, purposeful classroom environments and the belief that every student can learn and improve.

We ask families to partner with us by supporting these habits at home. Simple routines such as preparing school materials the night before, ensuring devices are used responsibly, encouraging calm starts to the day and praising effort and organisation all help reinforce the same behaviours we are building at school. When home and school work together, students feel supported, consistent expectations become clearer and their confidence grows.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership as we continue developing a culture of learning that is disciplined, hopeful and deeply centred on the dignity of each student. With shared habits, shared language and shared purpose, we can help our young people grow into the capable, compassionate and confident individuals they are called to be.

Warm regards,

Daniel Di Lisio
Director of Learning and Teaching

Learning Diversity

At St Mary’s College we are committed to supporting all learners, always. We know that when students are engaged, they learn more. We also know that not every student is the same, so a “one-size-fits-all” approach to teaching and learning won’t work.

For this reason, we strive to ensure that every learner receives the support they require to optimise growth, success, access, and participation. We understand there are many factors that influence the way a student learns: physical and cognitive abilities and disabilities, cultural and linguistic background, socioeconomic background, and social/emotional needs.

The role of the Learning Diversity Team at St Mary’s College is to liaise with families and teachers to ensure appropriate support is provided to ensure students can access and participate in learning on the same basis as each other, regardless of individual differences. Such support may be provided by Learning Diversity through a range of programs and other measures, such as Guided Study, Special Provisions for assessments, and Learning Support Officers attending a variety of classes.

If a student has a diagnosed condition that impacts their learning, families are encouraged to contact me so we can implement strategies to assist individual needs. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Severe Language Disorder, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Auditory Processing Delay, Hearing Impairment, Vision Impairment etc.

At St Mary’s College, students are not defined by their diagnosed conditions, and we recognise that diagnosed conditions should not be used as an impediment to academic growth. Privacy and confidentiality are of paramount importance to us. All information you provide is used only to inform the development of individual learning and intervention programs. Any sharing of information occurs only with parental permission and only with those who need to know as they work closely with the student.

There can be lengthy delays in waiting periods to have assessments updated. It is worth noting that if a student wishes to apply for Special Consideration in their senior years of study, the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), prefer diagnostic evidence from when the student was in Grade 6 onwards, coupled with evidence of support provided by the school. Anything prior to that time carries less weight as it is assumed there will have been changes resulting from interventions and maturation. Tests such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT) are generally deemed to have a five-year life span before needing to be administered again. Forward planning is recommended to ensure there is an up-to-date and accurate indication of a student’s current levels of ability, so that the most appropriate support can be provided.

Should you have any questions or concerns related to a student’s ability to learn and would like further advice, you are welcome to make contact to discuss the matter further.

NCCD Information Sheet for Parents

NCCD Parent Fact Sheet

Directions: 

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Sometimes Careers Counselling gets a bad rap. The media love to publish stories of highly successful people who were told by some mythical career advisor back in school that they would need to be a garbologist or would never amount to anything.

Personally, in my forty plus years as a professional Careers Practitioner (as we are now called), I have NEVER met a Careers Counsellor who would say such a thing! I certainly do not. I am all about encouragement and helping students find the way to a fulfilling future. Sometimes reality intervenes to temper ambition, but there is always a way forward!

If there is one thing that students expect from their schooling, it is the ability to graduate and move onto a career pathway of their choosing. Whilst results and ATARs have an important place for many, there is so much more to choosing the next step after school.

Students develop their career choices over time. Thy need to:

1. Learn to understand themselves - their interests, their skills, their personality traits and their aptitudes
2. Learn about what opportunities are available in the world of work – an ever-changing scenario.
3. Learn to make connections between these two and be open to what is possible, then use this to plan and manage their career.

To this end, St Mary’s College students have many opportunities to meet with me, formally or informally, to find the information and often the encouragement they need to forge their own path successfully.

Year 10 students sit the Morrisby Online careers assessment, which provides them with a tool for life to understand those three vital elements of career development. They also have an opportunity to do a work placement in a professional workplace. All this assists them to choose the most suitable VCE course and subjects to suit their aspirations.

Year 11 & 12 students may undertake industry-based courses through VET subjects in their programs and Year 12 students begin their journey by applying for further study or work.

To assist with al this, they should be meeting with me a number of times over their senior school years (10-12) to access the correct information, processes and opportunities in preparation for life beyond the gates.

There are many ways I am able to assist, some of which are listed here:

In particular, the fortnightly Careers newsletter Directions is a rich source of information for students, hopefully inspiring them to engage with a wide variety of ideas, events and opportunities as they take increasing responsibility for managing their own career.

Another wonderful source of information is the St Mary’s College Careers website at Careers Website SMC.

Students and their parents are welcome to make appointments with me via the link on Simon and PAM (under School Links> Careers Appointments) and also on the above website.

So, if I ever offer any of you “bad advice” or anything other than positive encouragement, do let me know when we meet. We can work together to find what you need.

Live the life you have imagined! Henry David Thoreau

ACC Senior Tennis: So Close!

Salesian edged St Mary’s in a tight contest, winning 6 sets (48 games) to 6 sets (42 games).

Our season opener against Salesian showed plenty of promise as we dominated the higher-seeded players. Leading the way was our exemplary captain, Seb Maddams, with a commanding 6–1 win. He was well supported by Bayley Penna(6–2) and Tom Taylor (6–0).

A special mention to Noah Korfiatis, who won a hard-fought battle 7–6 in a thrilling match. Jack Miocic also played strongly in doubles alongside Tom, securing a solid 6–3 victory.

Lucas Bigmore-D’Amico, Finley Panetta, Nate Taylor, and Elliot Brenner were gallant in defeat and showed great fight—some extra practice will no doubt pay dividends.

All in all, there were plenty of positive takeaways. Let’s see if we can win against Emmanuel next week.

Welcome Back to Music!

Welcome back to all our music students and families - we are excited to begin another vibrant year of music-making together. It has been wonderful to see the energy around campus as we officially welcomed our newest musicians. Our Year 7 students were warmly received at the first Liturgy Welcome Assembly of the year, a meaningful occasion that set the tone for community, creativity, and shared purpose. We now look ahead to the upcoming Year 7 Welcome Mass evening, which promises to be another special opportunity to gather, reflect, and celebrate the start of their secondary school journey.

The Year 7 Band Program is already underway, with students enjoying instrument demonstrations and beginning the important process of considering their instrument choices. This is always an exciting stage, as students discover new sounds and imagine where their musical path might take them. We look forward to seeing their enthusiasm grow as they settle into the program.

Looking ahead, all ensembles return in full next week, as well as rehearsals for the school musical. With so much happening, it’s shaping up to be a busy and rewarding start to the year. We can’t wait to make music together and share many memorable moments along the way.

Uniform Shop and Recycled Uniform Shop Open This Saturday

Families are advised that both the College Uniform Shop and Recycled Uniform Shop will be open this Saturday, 7 February.

This is a great opportunity to purchase new uniform items or access quality recycled uniforms ahead of the start of term. Recycled uniforms are subject to availability and provide a cost-effective and sustainable option for families.

We encourage families who require uniform items to take advantage of this additional opening time to ensure students are prepared for the school year.

Date: Saturday 7 February

The new year brings many unknowns, and often something that can cause students concern is how to create new friendships and sustain established friendships.

There is a difference between support in friendship and demands in a friendship.

Positive friendships often have these elements:

• Patience,
• Directness, kindness, strength
• Healthy boundaries.
• Helpfulness when there is need.
• Prioritizing time. It is important to have space from your friends. This doesn’t make you a bad friend, it may make you a better friend in the long term.

Some suggestions for positive friendships:

1. Talk it out.
2. Build times together- specific times and spaces.
3. Be honest and kind
4. Listen.
5. Expand your social circles.
6. Have a list of respectful rules.
7. Talk to others.
8. Learn about yourself in the relationship, try to be reflective
9. Walkaway/distance yourself if you need.
10. Ask yourself if your friends fit into your values and the type of person you want to spend time with.

Try to remember: To have a friend you need to be a friend. Friendships can take time to develop
