CAMPUS EXPERIENCE

What a wonderful opportunity for parents, students, families from our feeder primary schools and our wider community to visit Marists Sisters’ Woolwich this week for our Campus Experience. We had many visitors in our Religious Education Classroom. Many aspects of the faith formation at the College were on display, such as the Religious Education 7- 10 Curriculum, Studies of Religion and Studies in Catholic Thought, Marists in Action, Liturgies, Retreat and Reflection Day, Marist Service and Mission. The RE team and student helpers had a great time meeting the visiting families and being involved in the many fun religious activities such as games and puzzles offered throughout the evening. Thank you to the RE team and students for all your help and support throughout a very successful evening.

THERESE COLLABORATIVE NETWORK – STAGE 3 FAITH RETREAT

On Thursday, 29th February, Year 10 students, Nora Parekalam and Emma Altree had the opportunity to accompany Stage 3 students from St. Therese’s Primary School, Denistone on their Faith Retreat to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Parramatta. In collaboration with Marist College, Eastwood, our students helped to facilitate the day. Thank you Nora and Emma.

On behalf of Marist Sisters College, Woolwich, we had the opportunity to assist the teachers on a Stage 3 Retreat at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Parramatta. We had the opportunity to connect with the teachers and students, as well as spiritually with God through the Angelus, Rosary and Mass. It was a good opportunity to see the newly constructed Cathedral and be able to be present at the time of the liturgy. It was also interesting to see how this Cathedral was set out, as the pews face each other, which gave students, and teachers, an opportunity to connect spiritually with those who were present in the Church.  – Nora Parekalam and Emma Altree, Year 10
