Youth Ministry News
As we reach the close of Term 1, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the amazing start we’ve had this year in our youth ministry. It has been a term filled with growth, connection, and meaningful moments that have helped strengthen our community. Participation in Friday morning Mass through prayer and song and praying the Rosary on Monday’s has seen students come together to deepen their faith.
As we head into Term 2, I am excited to announce some fantastic upcoming events that will continue to foster our community and allow students to grow in their faith together.
The 10:10 Project – Wednesday 7 May 
The 10:10 Project is a faith-based initiative within Sydney Catholic Schools that provides a safe, judgment-free space for Year 10 students to discuss life and society openly, encouraging them to strengthen their faith and build positive relationships.
It involves a series of school-based workshops and parish-based events, designed to foster a sense of community and support among students. (Source: https://sydcatholicschools.nsw.edu.au/religious-life/1010-project-pilot-program-2021)
This program is open to Year 10 students. More information will be shared in the next issue of the ‘Parent Post’.
Sydney Catholic Schools Youth Night – Friday 13 June
One of the major events to look forward to in Term 2 is the SCS Youth Night happening on Friday, June 13th. This event will bring together high school students from across the St George, Harbour-North Sydney, and Randwick Botany regions for an unforgettable night of fellowship, worship, and fun. This event is a great way to connect with other youth in the area and grow in your faith.
More information will be shared closer to the date.
Purpose Festival – Wednesday 2 July
Another event the College is eagerly anticipating is the Purpose Festival on July 2nd at Rosebank College. This festival will be a time of worship, teaching, and celebration of our purpose in Christ. It’s an opportunity for youth from all over the region to come together, experience incredible ministry, and reflect on the deeper meaning of our faith as we continue to grow in God’s purpose for our lives.
This event is by invitation only. Students who have been nominated to attend, will receive an invitation at the beginning of Term 2.
You’re invited!

As the season of Lent draws to a close, I encourage you to use the opportunity to take time to reflect on the sacrifices and spiritual growth you have embraced over the season and share in the lessons learned and the strength gained through prayer, fasting, and acts of kindness.
As we approach the school holidays, I would like to wish you and your loved ones a happy Easter. May this season bring you renewed hope and abundant blessings.
Let us rejoice in the risen Christ and the promise of eternal life.
