Archbishop’s Student Leadership Forum 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our student leaders recently attended the Archbishop’s Student Leadership Forum 2024 in the spiritual home of Sydney’s Catholic community. College Captain Remi Apostolopoulos said afterwards, ‘It was truly a unique experience to engage with like-minded young leaders from Catholic schools across Sydney. In the incredible setting of St Mary\u2019s Cathedral, under the guidance of the Archbishop, we explored political, ethical and social issues whilst building meaningful connections.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n
