On Tuesday 23 April, Ava and I attended the Archbishop\u2019s Student Leadership Luncheon at the historic Cathedral House.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The event gathered student representatives from across the Sydney Catholic Schools network for a day of reflection and dialogue, centered on the theme for the day \u201cTrust in the Lord: For True Peace and Strength\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We received an address from Archbishop Anthony Fisher, where he invited us to share our honest concerns, questions and hopes as representatives of our school communities and all students in Sydney Catholic Schools.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As we ate lunch, His Grace moved between tables, directly engaging us in conversation. It was a unique opportunity to discuss the dynamic role of young people in the Church, how students can find \u201cTrue Peace\u201d in the pressures of modern life and the future direction of the Sydney Catholic Schools community.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We also heard from the University Chaplaincy and Sydney Catholic Youth. They shared insights into the vibrant faith life waiting after graduation, demonstrating how the transition to university and adulthood can be supported by the welcoming Catholic community.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To conclude the afternoon, His Grace offered a blessing to all the student leaders, asking us to take the spirit of the day back to our schools. Ava and I even managed to take a selfie with the Archbishop to commemorate the occasion!\u00a0<\/p>\n
We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to represent the College and look forward to implementing the spirit of peace and faith in our student body.<\/p>\n
