Just a reminder that all leave requests need to be submitted on boardingware. This includes sick leave, medical appointments lunch leaves and so on. The Parent Portal is only used for Day Student Departure times and for reports.
If you could please remember to log all forms of leave on boardingware it would be greatly appreciated. Can you also give me as much notice as possible. I have found it difficult of late addressing last minute requests.
Br Anthony Robinson, the leader of our Marist Brithers Community, spent time with the boarders tonight informing them on the life of St Marcellin Champagnat.

This Sunday, June 4, we celebrate the Feast of St Marcellin Champagnat with our second Family Mass for the year in the Br Emilian Hall. The Mass will commence at 10am but the boys have been asked to be seated in the Hall by 9.45am. The Mass will conclude around 11am upon which the boys are dismissed.
The actual Feast Day of St Marcellin Champagnat is Tuesday June 6, but the Family Mass provides us with an excellent opportunity to come together and reflect on his life while also praying and celebrating as a community. If you have not attended a Family Mass yet, I encourage you to do so. They are beautiful occasions, bringing the College family together to pray as one.

Lost Property:
Lost Property continues to be an issue. Can you please double check your sons clothing to ensure that he has not taken another students clothing home. We are forever battling with the boys about cleanliness up here and it is no wonder that items ae going missing. Please discuss with your son the importance of putting clothing/items in his press and locking it with the lock that they were provided at the start of the year. We will be having a crackdown on this! If your son does not have a lock he will need to purchase a new one. The items of lost property have been taken to Mr Radziowsky (mradziowsky@joeys.org) and are no longer in the dorms. The boys had ample opportunity to go through this which was on the landing at the start of the term. The boys have also been encouraged to go to Mr Radziowsky but you may also wish to drop him an email to double check.
Photos:
This Friday the boys will have their Class Photos. This is just a reminder that the boys will need to wear their BLUES and have their shoes polished. Some are also in need of a haircut so please if this could all be addressed before Friday it would be appreciated.

On Friday May 26 the boys are having their class photos. Year 7 are up first and as a result it is important that they set a good standard for this. The boys were reminded today by Br Anthony to ensure that they are in their BLUES, have polished their shoes and have had a haircut. Can you please remind your son of this.
