Art
Year 12 student Zach Harm Nam was awarded the People’s Choice Senior Winner in the Staedtler Secondary Schools Artists Competition for 2024. Zach submitted only one of his seven drawings for his Visual Arts HSC Body of Work. The piece entitled “Holding Time” depicts the hands of his grandmother holding a timepiece that captures the challenges and hardships of migration. The watch highlights the time spent away from home, the struggle to adapt, and the anticipation of a better future.
Ex-Student
John Walker, who graduated from Marist College Eastwood in 1968 awarded the highest honour that the Holy Father gives to members of the Church clergy and laity for their services to the Church. The award called Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice dates back to 1888 when it was established by Pope Leo XIII and was presented to him by the Bishop of Lismore.
