Chaplain's Corner

With the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia and His Grace Bishop Kyriakos of Melbourne, I extend my deepest thanks to all our teachers, students, and families for their unwavering commitment, faith, and support throughout this school year. Your dedication to learning, service, and the life of our Orthodox Christian community has been a true blessing to witness.

As we now enter the beautiful season of preparation for the Nativity of our Lord, our hearts are drawn once again to the mystery and wonder of the Incarnation; God becoming man for our salvation. In a world often marked by uncertainty and noise, the birth of Christ offers a message of profound hope: that God enters our humanity to heal it, restore it, and fill it with divine light. This central truth of our faith is not just a historical moment but a living reality that shapes who we are and how we love one another.

In our homes and in our school, may this season be a time of renewed peace, repentance, and joy, as we prepare a place in our hearts for Christ, the True Light who comes into the world. May the example of the Holy Theotokos, the shepherds, and the wise men inspire us to draw near to God with humility, gratitude, and faith.

As the year concludes, I pray that the newborn Christ blesses every family with health, harmony, and grace. Thank you once again for walking this journey with us.

Wishing you all a blessed and peaceful Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year 2026.
