We keep Dr Ireland and her family in our prayers after the loss of her mother late last week. As a Marist Sisters’ College Community, may we come together to pray for Dr Ireland and her family during this difficult time. 

We pray that in this time of loss you’ll feel God’s love much more. And that you’ll find your comfort in the presence of the Lord. We pray God pours upon you His sweet amazing grace. And overflow your heart with peace as you live in His embrace. May you find shelter. Shelter in the love and prayers of family and friends. May you find time to rest. Rest in the comfort of warm memories and moments shared. May you find heavenly hope. Hope in the renewal of creation, in beauty and life.

Lord, in this time of sorrow, we lift our weary hearts to You. We ask for Your loving embrace to surround Dr Ireland’s  grieving family. May they find solace in Your constant presence and feel the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. O Lord, grant them strength for each step of the way. 

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord. May the perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

Year 12 

We welcome back our Year 12 students from their Trials. They will now begin the last block of class time before their HSC Exams. This is an extremely valuable time to complete covering content and skills in each of their courses as well as to consolidate and hone their skills, particularly in exam technique. I strongly encourage all Year 12 students to use this time wisely and take full advantage of the expertise and support of their teachers that is available to them. Now that individual school-based assessment has concluded it is important that students work together in their classes to maximise their performance as a cohort.

Mobile Phones

I want to remind students that there is to be no use of mobile devices from when a student enters the College gates until the final bell at 3.15 pm.

When students need to contact home/parents during the school day, they should attend the General Administration Office to use the College phone or seek permission to use their mobile device.
