Message from the Tumuaki/Principal -
Ms. Maria Prescott
|
|
|
|
Tēnā koutou, Mālō e laumalie and 你好 Nǐ hǎo Marcellin whānau!
|
We come to the end of another busy term and it was wonderful to see the many opportunities in which our ākonga and staff demonstrated the Marist Pillar of the year: Aroaro / Presence.
|
Our ākonga demonstrated Aroaro in the Uike Kātoanga’i ‘o e lea faka-Tonga / Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori and New Zealand Chinese Language weeks in the way they embraced and celebrated the different cultures of our kura/school.
|
One of the actions for our third strategic goal is to grow Te Ao Māori including the language. It has been great to see our kura growing from strength to strength in the use of te reo Māori in everyday school life. Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori was an important reminder for our Marcellin whānau to continue to lift the language.
|
Our Sacraments of Initiation Mass was a blessed, holy and celebratory time for us as a Marcellin whānau to demonstrate Aroaro/Presence as Christian Witnesses for the candidates and their whānau. This was followed by the Haka competition between the four Whānau rōpu. The school haka was designed by Letyna Leniu (Te Rarawa and Ngāpuhi) and her matua, Mikaira Pau at the end of 2017 and the kaupapa is reference to our patron Saint Marcellin Champagnat, and the wearing of Christ’s korowai, Aroha. It was a proud moment to watch all the ākonga perform the Marcellin haka together as a whole school with pride and understanding! Ngā mihi kia koutou to all our Whānau prefects and Year 13 leaders as well as the Kaitātaki leaders who passed on the knowledge and kaupapa of the Hato Maherino haka to their teina / younger brothers and sisters.
|
Our Year 11 to 13 ākonga will be completing their final internal assessments and preparing for the Senior Practice Exams in the first week of Term Four. Senior full academic reports will be emailed to whānau at the end of this week and will include all assessment grades published to date, attitudes and a comment for each subject area. Please continue to encourage your tamariki to revise thoroughly and ask their kaiako if they have any questions.
|
Ngā mihi kia koutou / Mālō ‘aupito / 谢谢 Xiè xiè to our Marcellin staff, ākonga and whānau for your continual support of our kura, especially for your contributions to the development of our Strategic Plan 2024 - 2025. The survey is still available for any whānau that have not yet completed the ‘Kōrero Mai, Talanoa Mai Marcellin Whānau’ Google Form - see details below.
|
Praying for our talented senior ākonga in the Stand Up, Stand Out 23 Finals Showcase for Music AND Dance this weekend, and that our tamariki and staff have a safe and well deserved holiday.

Ngā mihi nui Marcellin whānau,

Staff Recognition of Excellence in the Auckland Region
Congratulations to Mrs. Leah Holland, (Director of Learning Support / SENCO) who was recognised for her service and leadership as the recipient of the Auckland Down Syndrome Association Community Service Award 2023. Whānau members of the Āwhina Ako wrote the following nomination that was read out at the award ceremony:
|
“Leah, you are a beacon of light in our community, and you make an enormous difference with the work you do. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom – building positive and meaningful futures for our loved ones. Your strong belief in the capabilities of each student shines bright within your school, your whanau and wider community.
|
|
Leah fosters the concept of Whanaungatanga in her students – developing a great sense of
|
|
belonging and identity and feeling part of the school community.
|
Manaakitanga is all about protecting the mana and hearts of others. This value is about the value of treating all others with love, empathy and respect. Leah demonstrates this with all her students. Students and whanau are warmly into her learning hub and included so everyone enjoys a sense of belonging.”
|
|
Mrs. Leah Holland is an example of our Marist Pillar of the year, Aroaro / Presence, being available to others without expecting anything in return.

The Sacraments of Initiation Mass
|
On the 12th of September we celebrated fourteen of our ākonga who received their Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and First Holy Communion. We were blessed and honored to have our school Chaplain Monsignor Bernard with us and confer the Sacraments. It was a wonderful occasion shared with our Marcellin whānau. Thank you to Mrs Rodrigues who worked with our ākonga and made sure they were well prepared. It is a blessing to see so many new members of the Catholic Church. We pray for each of our candidates and their whānau that God bless them may the Holy Spirit guide them on their journey as disciples of Christ, spreading the Good News in words and deeds.

Hospitality Dinner
Our story unfolds in a modest classroom, where the ordinary was transformed into something truly extraordinary. This unassuming space was magically converted into an elegant dining room, radiating sophistication and charm.
At the heart of this remarkable evening were our five remarkable Āwhina ako ākonga. They took center stage, their talents and abilities shining bright. While our Hospitality ākonga played a vital support role, it was the Āwhina ako ākonga who captured everyone's attention.
This night was not the result of one department's effort but a harmonious collaboration. The Careers Department, the Technology Department, and our dedicated Learning Support team joined forces to craft an unforgettable experience.
As our Āwhina ako ākonga diligently helped to prepare, cook, and serve a three-course feast to over 20 esteemed guests from local businesses, the room buzzed with anticipation. Their dedication and passion were unmistakable, leaving an indelible mark on all in attendance.
The true marvel of this evening? In just a matter of days, our efforts were rewarded. Our esteemed guests, deeply impressed by the capabilities and professionalism of our Āwhina ako ākonga, reached out with opportunities for work experience and potential employment.
This event whispers of possibilities and resilience. It's a testament to the boundless potential that resides within each Āwhina ako ākonga, offering a glimpse of the promising future ahead.
This is merely the prologue. We're on a collective journey to destroy barriers, celebrate diversity, and kindle the flames of success for these amazing students.

New Board Student Representative - Malachi Mala'itai
|
SCHOOL BOARD STUDENT ELECTION 2023
|
DECLARATION OF STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE
At the close of nominations at noon Tuesday 5th September 2023, the following nomination was received for the student representative vacancy on the Board of Trustees.
|
I hereby declare the following duly elected:
|
|
|
|
Ni sa Bula Vinaka, Malo le soifua manuia. My name is Malachi Mala’itai and I am of Fijian and Samoan descent.
|
|
My involvement with Young Vinnies, Remar and Student Council has enhanced my understanding of Marcellin College. This has strengthened me to be more confident, approachable and proactive.
|
|
I believe I have the ability to act accordingly as your student representative. I demonstrate education and life with God being at the centre of it all. If our heavenly Father is at the centre of our decisions, choices and actions, what can go wrong?
|
|
Our students must understand that education is one of the main keys to success; education must be taken seriously. We are blessed enough to receive education everyday at school, however in the end, the choice is up to the individual on how and if they utilise this education. Are you taking your education seriously?
|
|
In today's society we can identify that predominantly, the younger generations are finding it hard with the basics of literacy and numeracy. Marcellin College’s 2017 ERO (Education Review Office) report showed that in 2016, only 40% of year 8 students achieved at or above the standards. This means that a staggering 60% did not achieve.
|
|
We need to raise the achievement standards of our students. I believe that there is a need to reinforce the drive and determination of our students to enable them to be self motivated learners. To execute this, the relationships between our school, students, and homes must be strengthened. This includes supporting the learner by understanding their "environment" and how it can be enhanced, supported and utilised to best meet their needs.
|
We may not know all the answers for the future progression regarding our students and their families, but together we can aid our Marcellin community and find strategic plans to advance our ideas from good to effective.
|
|
Ngā mihi kia koe Eniselini Ali Fusitua for your leadership and service as the Ākonga representative at the Marcellin College Board over the last year.

Marcellin College Annual School Ball

On Saturday the 9th of September we held the annual Marcellin College School Ball. This year we held it at the Ellerslie Events Centre and the theme was 'Las Vegas'.

Year 7 Blake Explorer - Virtual Reality
On Thursday Ramere 27 July Hongongoi,the Year 7 ākonga experienced a Virtual Reality underwater programme, all thanks to Grace and Alice from BLAKE Explorers. Blake is a company named after and dedicated to Sir Peter Blake and their purpose is to encourage people to care for the environment.
|
On their visit they showed the Year 7’s what a healthy ocean should look like and what it should not look like.They explained how this affects us and the sea creatures, they showed us all sorts of sea animals through virtual reality, like orcas, whales, fish and more! And all of the footage was filmed in New Zealand land and waters. They explained the limits to fishing and that if we over fish it impacts both humans and the coral reefs in a serious way. We had such an amazing time with Grace and Alice, we hope to see them again next year!

"Take Home Pay" Director Visit
|
Today (Friday 15th September), the year nines went to a presentation by the director of the film Take Home Pay, Stallone Vaiaoga-Ioasa. We are studying the film in class this term. We all really enjoyed the presentation and the way the director explained the film really well. Stallone talked about the meaning behind the film and some of the scenes. He also talked about the money, dedication and creativity required to make a film. The director inspired us to take opportunities, and to be innovative. His message was that we should do what we're passionate about and live our lives to the fullest. At the end of the presentation, a lot of students asked the director for autographs and photos.(Written by Leandra Natoealofa, Kathlyn Kampitan, Alana Cains, Elija Sanonu and Kyle Soriba.

Te Whatu Hauora - Minor Health Conditions Service
This winter, between Monday 12 June and Saturday 30 September, participating community pharmacies in Auckland will provide a Minor Health Conditions Service for Māori and Pacific people, children aged under 14 years, and community service card holders.
|
The service allows pharmacists to have a clinical consultation and provide advice as well as medication if needed for a select set of minor health conditions no cost to the patient.
|
It also includes whānau members of a child with similar symptoms. For example, if the pharmacist determines your child needs treatment for scabies and they have older brothers or sisters, or you yourself also have symptoms, they may provide advice and medication for all of you.
|
The following health conditions are included in the Minor Health Conditions Service:
|
- Acute diarrhoea
- Dehydration
- Eye inflammation and infections
- Scabies
- Headlice
- Pain and fever
- Eczema/Dermatitis
- Minor skin infections
If your condition needs further support, the pharmacist can tell you the best place to go to get further help.
|
Let’s spread the word to our friends and whānau about this new service! It’s also important to remember that you can always speak to your local pharmacist for free health advice, even if you are not eligible for this service.
