Over the last few months, Team Marian was honoured to be again participating in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. 21 superstar students dared to be brave and cut or shaved their hair to raise money for the thousands of Australian families suffering from blood cancer.
The support of family and friends this year was especially important as Marian went online for the better half of the World’s Greatest Shave campaign at school. This meant those shaving for a cure were challenged to find new and creative ways to get involved at home; where students took to shaving their own heads or having friends to help them in the process.
Team Marian was flooded with photos of bright blue balloons and decorations to make the day special despite not being able to celebrate with everyone here at school
Together, Team Marian has raised $14,776.13 for the cause so far. An incredible achievement! Every fundraiser should be very proud of what they’ve contributed and the help they’ve offered to Australian families.
The Marian community wishes to express their gratitude and pride in the brave fundraisers who kept their spirits high and hearts full despite the difficulties with this year's event.

On Friday 13th of June, we celebrated our annual feast day, Marian Day. The day began with our Marian Day mass which was a beautiful celebration of what it means to "Be Marian". Fr Giovani reflected on the Gospel from John 14:15–16, 23–26. This gospel reminds us that we are never alone - the Holy Spirit is with us, guiding us and strengthening us to live lives of love, faith and courage. “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. I shall ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever. If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make our home with him. Those who do not love me do not keep my words. And my word is not my own: it is the word of the one who sent me. I have said these things to you while still with you; but the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I have said to you.” We were encouraged to reflect on Mary’s unwavering courage. She said yes to God, even when the path was uncertain. Her strength in standing up for her faith, trusting completely in God’s word, is a powerful example for us today. May we, like Mary, be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and find the courage to live out our faith with confidence, compassion, and love. 🙏🤍 #MarianDay

Talking Safe and Smart Online 👍🙂 We recently had the privilege of welcoming Glenn, the Hills Youth Liaison Officer from The Hills Police Area Command, who spoke with our Year 8 and 9 students about the importance of using social media responsibly. Glenn’s talk focused on the serious impacts of online harassment and bullying (both physical and verbal), as well as the legal and personal consequences that can follow. Students were reminded of the importance of respect, kindness, and thinking before posting online. It was a valuable session that encouraged our young people to be safe, informed, and supportive digital citizens. NSW Police Force Youth Command

Today, our Year 12 students gathered for a reflective and meaningful Mass with Fr Clement. He encouraged them to reflect on the kind of legacy they are leaving behind at Marian. He challenged them to consider whether they are becoming someone others look up to and will miss — or someone who let the opportunity to make a positive impact pass them by. Fr Clement reminded the students that who they become is shaped by their own choices. With the gift of free will, each of them is responsible for bringing their own goodness into the world. He urged them to stay connected to God and to reflect the goodness of Jesus in their lives — by choosing, like Mary, to say “yes” to God’s call. As Year 12 begins their final term, may they carry this message with them and strive to leave a legacy rooted in faith, integrity, and courage.

We were privileged to welcome back five inspiring Marian alumni who generously shared their journeys into their current professions. A heartfelt thank you to Isabella Krkac (Speech Pathologist), Blake Sciglitano (Physiotherapist), Phil St Flour (Doctor), Courtney Wade (Occupational Therapist), and Lauren Jacobs (Dietitian) for taking the time to speak with our students. It was a fantastic turnout, and the morning was filled with insightful advice, real-world experiences, and meaningful conversations. We are so grateful for the continued support of our Marian community in guiding our students on their career journeys.

The $5 Op Shop was a big hit, our cupcake stall 🧁was a sell-out, and together we raised funds and collected donations for the Vinnies Winter Appeal. From pre-loved fashion finds to sweet treats, every purchase and donation went towards supporting those in need during the colder months. ❄️💙 Thank you to everyone who contributed to our donations, and for showing the Marian spirit of compassion and community - your kindness and generosity has truly made a difference. 💛🧤🧁🧣💚 #FaithInActionAtMarian #BeConnected #BeMarian

~YEAR 7 REFLECTION DAY~ Year 7 had a wonderful day of connection and learning facilitated by Catholic Mission, MCCK staff and our Peer to Peer student ministers last week. The day had a number of focuses including discovering the story of Blessed Carlos Acutis (who is being Canonised on September 7!), exploring the Catholic Social teaching of the Dignity of the Human person and looking at inequality and inequity in our world and how we can respond. #FaithAtMarian #BeConnected #BeMarian
