The word REMAR is a play on words in the original Spanish. It means "to row". It is also formed from the Spanish for MARist REnewal. REMAR has a nautical theme and this is simply an explaination of some of those terms.
Rowers: students involved at the school level.
Navigators: young adults involved at the Post School level.
Helmsperson: the adult guide for each caravel.
Caravel: a local group of the REMAR movement made up of rowers and a helmsperson. Each school will usually have a caravel at each of Years 10, 11 and 12.
Crossings: Theses are the stages that make up the basic process in the REMAR Movement. There are different objectives corresponding to each stage. The crossings are the following:
- Red (Year 10 of secondary school)
- Blue (Year 11 of secondary school)
- Gold (Year 12 of secondary school)
- Green (Post School)
Each one of these except Green lasts for one year.
Helm: the central symbol of the movement. On the helm, the word REMAR appears; this identifies us and our objectives, to "keep rowing" in the quest for MARist REnewal. In the centre we see an M which represents our Star of the Sea, Mary.
