Our warmest congratulations to the winners of the Australian Catholics 2023 Young Voices Award, in conjunction with Australian Catholic University. Students from Year 9 submitted entries based on the theme “Climate for Change” as part of their Assessment Task in Religious Education in the Lenten Term. The winning entries shall be published in the Spring Edition of the Australian Catholics magazine, on the Australian Catholics magazine website.
Through this project, students have not only showcased their passion for relevant social and environmental issues but also have shown their creative minds and talents as evident in their articles, photos, and digital entries.
Congratulations to all the Religious Education Teachers who have allotted a great deal of time and effort into all the entries, especially the teachers of the entries that won prizes and commendations; Ms Pitpit, Mr McKenzie, Ms Spiteri, Mr Morse and Mr Mallia.
We are proud of the students’ achievements!
