Staff Essential Information

Absences

On days when you are absent the Daily Organiser needs to know as soon as possible. You must contact the College before 7:30 am (the earlier, the better) and leave a message on the Daily Organiser’s mobile phone or email cwindley@mazenod.vic.edu.au. The mobile contact number is located on the daily org. sheet. Work can be left for students via MazCom. See the ‘Extras & Duties’ tile on your homepage. Each teacher has been issued a folder. You are also encouraged to place details on your class page.

If your absence is known in advance, you are required to enter the details of your absence into EMS 360.

Access & Security

The Administration Office is staffed Monday - Friday from 8 am to 4.30 pm. If you intend being present within the College facilities after 4.30 pm, please contact the Community Liaison Officer (0459 988 326 or email communityliaison@mazenod.vic.edu.au) so that they can make the appropriate arrangements.

The Business Manager, will determine (with the Principal and Rector’s approval) the level of access each staff member has and the corresponding access card. If you are allocated an access card or key, remember that it is individually numbered and assigned so that the security of the College is maintained at all times.

Assembly

Assemblies occur once every three weeks on Fridays. On the day that assembly is held, there is no Homeroom Period and students commence Period 1 at 8:35am. This is to facilitate the holding of assembly in the Provence Centre after Period 3 (11:45am).

All teachers and students are expected to attend. A team of staff and student leaders organise the agenda for assemblies and this agenda is then submitted to the Deputy Principal (Students) for approval.

The College Captain, Vice-Captains and Head Prefects are the Masters of Ceremonies (MCs), and run the whole assembly. The speakers include the regular addresses by the Principal, the Deputy Principals and the Sports Staff. Students and teachers speak about school activities and occasionally guest speakers are invited to address the College on relevant issues.

Homeroom Teachers wait in the classroom prior to assemblies and when all members of the class are present, the teacher accompanies their class to the Provence Centre where they are seated in homerooms. Staff are expected to dress formally for these occasions.

Of importance is the overall development of students in the promotion of an awareness and pride in our Australian and Oblate Heritage. To further this, an Acknowledgement of Country, the National Anthem and the College prayer are also recognised.
