At 11am today, on Remembrance Day, we paused to remember the Australians who have served their country, those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and the families and communities who carried the consequences of war. Remembrance Day is about more than remembering what happened. It is about considering what they gave, and what we carry forward. We carry forward their stories, the names of those who served and the stories of those who never came home. But we also carry forward something more important: the responsibility to value peace. We carry forward the freedoms and opportunities that previous generations fought to protect. We carry forward the values of courage, service, mateship, sacrifice and responsibility. And we carry forward the hope that their sacrifices can contribute to a more peaceful future. Their stories belong to our history. Their sacrifice belongs to our memory. And their example belongs to our future. What they gave, we carry forward. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. We will remember them. Lest we forget. Almighty God, we ask your blessing for the leaders of all countries that all things may be ordered in wisdom and peace. We pray for the wellbeing of the citizens of all nations. Strengthen and encourage them in their efforts to promote peace and goodwill throughout the world so that we may live in harmony, friendship and peace. Amen

On this Remembrance Day, we honour the courage and sacrifice of our servicemen and women. The red poppy symbolises our gratitude, reminding us of the resilience that defines Australia. Amidst the tranquility of our land, we remember the ANZACs and their unwavering commitment. As we observe a minute of silence, we pay homage to the fallen but also express gratitude to those who continue to serve. Remembrance Day is a living tribute to our nation's spirit — a reminder of the values that shape us. Lest we forget the sacrifices that have made our present possible, may we work towards a future worthy of their legacy. In unity, we stand. Lest We Forget.

This week, Year 11 students attended Mass at St Madeleine Sophie Barat Parish In his homily, Fr Clement invited students to consider the importance of loving ourselves so that we can genuinely love others. He also challenged them to reflect on a powerful question: What legacy are you leaving behind, and what do you want to be remembered for? As our Year 11 students prepare for their retreat next week, these reflections encourage them to look beyond the expectations of others and consider the people they are becoming, the relationships they build and the impact they have on those around them. As they take this time to pause, reflect and reconnect with themselves, others and God, may they continue to walk with Christ and recognise the unique role each of them plays in building a community where everyone feels valued and knows they belong.

Earlier in the week our new Student Leadership Team attended their Leadership Camp in Grose Vale. This provided them with the opportunity to build connections as a team, set their theme and aspirations for 2027, as well as some planning for upcoming events. ✨ The feedback from the two days was incredibly positive and we are excited for the contribution and impact this group of young people will make on the Marian Catholic College community. Special thanks to Mr Jack de Groot (CEO of Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese) and our College Principal, Mr Smith, for participating in a ‘Q&A’ on Courageous Leadership and sharing their insights and reflections. Thanks also to Mr Christian Maait, a past Marian School Captain and current staff member for sharing his Marian journey with us. 🙏
