As the season of Lent begins, Marian College again focussed our Term 1 fundraising on Caritas Project Compassion, starting with Shrove Tuesday.
Each year Project Compassion inspires so many communities to come together to raise much needed funds for the most vulnerable women, children and men in Australian and around the world. Together, we can all help to break the cycle of poverty and injustice.
Our teachers and student leaders were busy making pancakes for students and staff at recess. We had hundreds of pancakes topped with many sweet treats with all proceeds going to Caritas Project Compassion. It was great to see so many students having "stacks" of fun and contributing to our cause.
Thank you to all the teachers and students involved in helping!

~ MISSION AT MARIAN - VINNIES VAN ~ While we may be on school holidays, the Vinnies Van doesn’t rest. Our staff and student volunteers were out again this week supporting the communities of Parramatta and Mt Druitt. Our team continues to hand out food, snacks and drinks to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness — showing compassion and connection even during the break. It’s a powerful reminder that our donations of warm winter items and groceries for the Vinnies Winter Appeal go a long way in supporting those doing it tough. Your generosity truly makes a difference. Thank you to our dedicated staff and student volunteers who continue to give up their time to serve others, even in the holidays. 😇💞 #MissionAtMarian #BeConnected #BeMarian #VinniesVan

~ 💛 WALK THE TALK 💛~ This term, our Year 10 Walk the Talk Crew students and Year 12 students joined forces to run a hugely successful bake sale at school, raising funds to create thoughtful pamper hampers for the women and families residing at The Sanctuary, our local Hills District women’s shelter. Our Year 10 and 12 collaboration baked and sold a range of goods including cupcakes, cookies and brownies. With a shared spirit of compassion and community, the students carefully curated and donated these hampers to bring a touch of comfort and joy to those at The Sanctuary, showing just how powerful kindness and collaboration can be.

🌟Marian Year 7 Debaters Shine in CSDA Semi-Finals 🌟 On Friday, 20th June, the Marian Year 7 debating team proudly competed in the Semi-Finals of the CSDA Debating Competition. Reaching this stage was no small feat—teams were required to be undefeated in all six debates and secure a win in their Quarter-Final. Our Year 7 team rose to the challenge and achieved exactly that! Throughout the season, the team has brought enthusiasm, determination, and flair to every debate. Their commitment to teamwork was evident as they consistently delivered well-structured arguments, built strong cases, and responded thoughtfully to opposition points. While their impressive 2025 winning streak came to an end in the Semi-Final, the debate was fiercely contested, with adjudicators facing a tough decision due to the high calibre of both teams. We are incredibly proud of the Marian Year 7 team and their outstanding efforts. Congratulations to Annie B, Ruby B, Lauren C, Aurelia G, Hannah M, Hayley T, and Kiana V. We congratulate all our debating teams across the season. We are proud of their accomplishments and it was impressive to see them grow in confidence and skill from week to week. 👏👏👏 Well done, debaters — you’ve represented Marian with distinction! #CSDADebating2025 #BeChallenged #BeMarian

Thanks to your kindness, we were able to donate much-needed grocery items, blankets, beanies, and winter essentials to help support people experiencing homelessness this winter. 💙🧣🧤 Together, we also raised over $2000 through our fundraising events — including the WinterGlow Cupcake and Hot Chocolate sales, our popular $5 Op Shop, and chocolate sales. Every item donated and every dollar raised will make a real difference for Vinnies. Thank you for showing community spirit and support!
