Mission Action Day Friday 4 September 2026
INTRODUCTION Mission Action Day is a significant event in the life of our College, bringing our community together in the spirit of faith, service, and generosity. It provides students and staff with the opportunity to actively live out our College values by supporting those charities in need through fundraising, awareness and meaningful action. More than simply a day of activities, Mission Action Day is a celebration of compassion, community and social justice. Through the collective efforts of our students, staff and families, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of others. This booklet contains all the essential information for the day, including staff allocations, session supervision, activity locations and the schedule for the day.
RADIOS Radios will be placed in each Stella Maris room, the finance/ticket table in the food court, the main stage, first aid and the tennis courts to support communication across the event. These will be used, for example, by Student Services to locate students being collected early or to assist with First Aid and medication needs. It is imperative that the staff member on the stall keeps the walkie-talkie on hand, at all times, and actively monitors it for any incoming communication. Once festival is over, all radios are to be returned to main reception.
STAFF ALLOCATIONS & ROSTER Please take the time to read through the booklet carefully so you are familiar with your responsibilities and the flow of the day. Please note that this is the current roster for your planning. If there is a foreseeable issue with your individual rostering, please reach out to Pamela directly. We also anticipate that some staff may call in sick on the day, staff who are present will be asked to cover additional sessions as required and this will be posted on teams. If you are not rostered during an activity please remain at the festival, engage with students, ask other staff if they need assistance at their stalls and enjoy the day. Please do not go back to your offices. Thank you to all staff for their support in helping make this day a memorable and impactful experience for all.
