Throughout the day we had opportunities to learn more about each other, ourselves and our goals for the final years of highschool. We were also able to write letters to our future selves and complete some fun clay modelling. It was great to connect with teachers and students, and we had lots of fun.

about being \u2018servant leaders\u2019 through our Catholic faith. We explored the different ways in which we can further integrate faith into our community and how us, as leaders, can inspire action and create change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the forum, we connected with other student leaders from Sydney Catholic Schools through our shared experiences as leaders and conversed about their perspectives of their faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This was an incredibly rewarding experience, filled with faith-centred discussions which addressed key issues surrounding the Church, particularly in relation to young people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The opportunity to meet and interact with like-minded student leaders was enriching and gave us some further ideas on how we can improve the faith life at MSCW, and use our leadership positions to lead by example and encourage others to live in the way of Mary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the event, we partook in a service in St Mary\u2019s Cathedral where the leaders in attendance received a special blessing from the Archbishop, to bless and inspire us with courage and hope over the coming year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Archbishop Student Leadership Forum was a rewarding experience and we are grateful to have been given the opportunity to attend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aisling O\u2019Connor and Hannah Khoury<\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-12045 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/IMG_3147.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/IMG_3147-640x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/IMG_3134-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/IMG_3134-1-640x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/IMG_3143-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/IMG_3143-2-640x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<h5><b>MSCW CHRISTMAS APPEAL 2024<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11963 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-12.15.58\u202fPM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-12.15.58\u202fPM.png 624w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-12.15.58\u202fPM-320x100.png 320w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-12.15.58\u202fPM-1170x366.png 1170w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-12.15.58\u202fPM-640x200.png 640w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-12.15.58\u202fPM-480x150.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For this year\u2019s Christmas Appeal, the MSCW community is supporting two organisations including\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">St Vincent de Paul and Baabayn Aboriginal Corporation. The focus of the Vinnies Appeal is the continuing impacts of the cost-of-living crisis in Australia, including rental and housing affordability.
