~👨‍🎓👩‍🎓2025 GRADUATES ASSEMBLY 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓~ Today we celebrated and recognised the many achievements of our graduating class of 2025 at our special Graduates Assembly. We welcomed back a number of our students to hear of their future endeavours in both study and work. The destinations of our graduates are always vast and diverse, and we are very proud of their achievements and successes. Our 2025 College Dux, Kingston Su (97.65), addressed the College community, sharing insights from his academic journey and the dedication, discipline, and consistent preparation required to achieve excellence, while remaining steadfast in his faith. Kingston achieved Band 6 results in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics Advanced, Mathematics Extension 1 and Physics. Mary Turner, our Academic Growth Award recipient, reflected on the growth she experienced in her senior schooling journey. She shared that in her earlier school years, she did not imagine achieving the ATAR she ultimately received. Mary emphasised the importance of prioritising mental health, maintaining a healthy social life, and developing effective planning and study habits, highlighting that balance and wellbeing were key contributors to her success. In 2025, Marian had 38 Distinguished Achievers. We had 186 students sit 537 HSC exams in 43 different subjects. The students achieved some amazing results, including 54 Band 6’s (a mark from 90-100), 143 Band 5’s (a mark of 80-99) and 210 Band 4’s (a mark of 70-89). This equates to 76% of exams achieving a mark over 70. We also recognised some of our current Year 12 students who studied an early commencement or accelerated course, achieving a Band 6 for the 2025 HSC. In Dance, two of our students were nominated for CALLBACK. Bianca Palacio was nominated in all 3 components of her Dance major work (Major Study Performance, Core Composition, Core Performance). Eva Sultana was also nominated for both her Major Study Performance and Core Composition. While we had some outstanding academic results, it is also important to recognise the Class of 2025 successes as a whole - young adults who are dedicated to spiritual, physical, emotional, and social growth. As our graduates leave this school, we know that exciting times are ahead of them. They are all poised to embark on new journeys and we wish them all the very best. Congratulations to Marian’s Class of 2025! 👏👏👏 #GraduatingClassOf2025 #BeMarian

Today we welcomed our Year 12 students back to Marian for the start of the year — the Class of 2026. While we greeted our newest students in Year 7, we also marked a very special milestone for our seniors: their last first day of school ever!! It was wonderful to see our Year 12 students return with confidence, maturity, and a strong sense of purpose as they begin their final year. This year will be filled with memories, challenges, celebrations, and moments that will shape the next chapter of their journey. We wish the Class of 2026 a meaningful, successful, and unforgettable final year at Marian. Make it count! #ClassOf2026 #LastFirstDay #BeMarian #BeConnected

With permission from Darug custodians, Uncle David and Uncle Ben led a smoking ceremony at Marian last week, in one of our beautiful sacred spaces. This ancient ceremony is traditionally used for spiritual cleansing and was offered to acknowledge Aboriginal people's enduring connection to the land on which we teach and learn, reinforcing our partnership with the local Aboriginal community.
