Empowered with a Catholic world view, our students truly live our motto: 'Fortior Ito', going forth with strength to live out our values of compassion, courage and commitment.

🌟 STORIES OF STUDENT SUCCESS 🌟 We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on Nijel S (Year 8) and Jonathan P (Year 7), whose stories have been published in ‘James Martin in My World: Stories by Parramatta Youth’ book! 📖 👏 The James Martin Youth Writing Competition is an annual competition, inspired by the life of James Martin. Thirty stories are selected to be published in the book, which highlights resilience, courage, and triumph in everyday life. 🖊️ Nijel’s story titled ‘Building Hope, One Life at a Time,’ features on page 52 of the book. In the story, Nijel shares the powerful journey of Hedayat Osyan, who fled the Taliban, rebuilt his life in Australia, and founded an enterprise to empower refugees. From heartbreak to hope, this story is a moving reminder of resilience and purpose. 💚 Jonathan’s story titled ‘My James - My Hero’ features on page 46 of the book. In the story, Jonathan shares the incredible true story of his cousin James, who survived a horrible accident, making a miraculous recovery through sheer courage and determination. From near tragedy to triumph, this story is a powerful reminder of resilience and hope. 💛 You can view the book that features Nijel and Jonathan’s entries here: https://www.cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au/files/assets/public/v/1/community/3296_lysicrates-award_a5-book_v09_digital.pdf #ParramattaMaristHighSchool #ParramattaMarist #CityofParramatta #JamesMartin #JamesMartinYouthWritingCompetition
