The Christmas Star
It matters not who or what you are,
all people can behold the Christmas Star.
For the Star that shone is shining still
in the hearts of everyone,
of peace and goodwill.
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
Or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Psalm 51:10-1
Today trim your life with an inner beauty. The Star shines for one and all.
Dear Parents, Students and Friends
This is the final Marian Newsletter for 2017. It has once again been a highly successful year for the College and I thank everyone for a wholehearted effort. The past few weeks has seen no slackening of resolve as every week featured students and staff striving to do their best in a whole range of curriculum, extra-curricular and sports activities. I also thank parents who have supported these events. The award ceremonies featured in this newsletter were equally well attended.
The week has been one of reflection and celebration of achievements. There have been a number of awards ceremonies and sitting on the stage I am privileged to see the pride shining from the faces of students and the love of their parents when a name is called out to collect a certificate. It doesn't matter whether it is one or many awards, the emotions expressed are the same. I am aware of many of the “journeys” made by students this year to make a success of themselves. It takes courage to do well. It is one of the attitudes needed to be successful and I, along with all staff, are very proud of the notable achievements by our students. I look forward to the next occasion where we will gather to acknowledge their efforts.
