Colin House Mass

On Wednesday 1st March we were joined by Fr Sam Lynch  from St Michael’s Parish Lane Cove to celebrate the Colin House Mass.

Colin House Co-Captains Victoria and Imogen spoke of our patron Jean-Claude Colin and how his work has influenced our students at MSCW. As a house, we are inspired by our Colin motto,

‘Unity within diversity’.

This encourages the celebration of each individual through our unique differences that create harmony between each of us. Victoria and Imogen shared the following advice with those at the House Mass – 

Throughout your time at Marist Sisters College as a Colin girl, we encourage you to continue to embrace this journey of learning with an open mind and a hunger for knowledge. Continue to take on new opportunities that come your way, explore new ideas, and challenge yourself to be the best version of yourself. Success looks different to all of us, so whether it be achieving an A in Maths, participating in a swimming race or making a new friend, give it your best shot.

We instil this motto of ‘Unity within Diversity’ on a daily basis with the students at MSCW. It was a wonderful experience for many students to display their diverse talents such as singing, playing the piano or taking part in readings throughout the service. With a light supper afterwards students, families and staff could celebrate and acknowledge the wonderful diversity within our Colin students.
