Mr Colm McCaughan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students of our College have truly made us proud this term. Our Year 8 and Year 10 students participated in the Sydney Catholic Schools Religious Education Test, an online multiple choice exam comprising 50 questions. They competed against every Catholic Secondary School in the Sydney Catholic Schools system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 8 achieved 11 High Distinctions and 62 Distinctions, placing us 6% above the Diocesan average. Year 10 earned 10 High Distinctions and 48 Distinctions, surpassing the Diocesan average by over 4%. These outstanding results are a testament to the boys’ efforts and the dedication of our Religious Education staff, whose daily and weekly reviews have significantly prepared our students for such success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the classroom it has been another busy term for the Evangelisation team. Year 10 hosted Sam Clear from Walk4One for their Reflection Day, where they learned about putting their faith in God and to go out and seek unity with others. The boys were blown away and inspired by Sam\u2019s story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Term 4 we hosted the Marist Connect, where nearly 100 students from Marist Schools across Sydney gathered for an afternoon of fun, games and preparation for Christmas. A significant turn out from our students (as well as a BBQ) ensured that this day was an enormous success and continues our reputation as a proud Marist school that loves to host others!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most significantly, on the 2nd Sunday of Advent, we hosted our first Marist Mass with St Kevin\u2019s Parish, Eastwood. At this Mass we baptised four students into the Church, whilst three others received their Confirmation. This is testament to the culture of Evangelisation within the College and a reflection of the dedication of our chaplain, Fr Dan Drum, who led the boys through the Rite of Christian Initiation process for the last few months. We hope that in future years many more boys will encounter Jesus in their time here at the College and embrace a relationship with Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, our end of Year Mass for the College was a grand affair, mixing both Advent hymns and Christmas carols, as we prepared for the coming of Christ and celebrated and gave thanks for the blessings of 2024. We can only hope and pray that 2025 will be as spiritually enriching as 2024.
