Staff and students from Cerdon College have been volunteering their time and working very early on Saturday mornings at St Patrick’s Church Hill to provide breakfast to the disadvantaged.
Our Year 12 students have concluded their time and have “passed the baton” to our Year 11 who have taken up the challenge.
Sr Fidelis SM, a past staff member of Cerdon, expressed her sincere gratitude to the College for the support and manner with which our girls participate.
We also thank the staff who have supported this initiative and give their time to ensure that students can participate in such a worthy cause that exemplifies all that we stand for here at Cerdon.
Cerdon College has always had a strong commitment to social justice initiatives. The College motto, ‘In Omnibus Christus’ (In all things Christ), is the foundation of all the activities of the Cerdon College Marist Social Justice Group. The students come together in the Marist way, combining their beliefs, values and practices, to create opportunities for those in the wider global community who are less able to help themselves.

Yesterday we celebrated the Ascension of the Lord, reminding us that Christ’s mission did not end with the Resurrection. It reached its glorious fulfilment as Jesus ascended body and soul into Heaven, opening the way for humanity to share in eternal life with God. As the disciples watched Jesus ascend, they were reminded not to remain standing still, but to go forth in faith, hope and mission. The Ascension calls each of us to lift our hearts toward Heaven while living as witnesses of Christ in our everyday lives. We celebrate the hope that through Jesus’ victory over sin and death, we too are invited into the glory of eternal life. May we trust in God’s mercy, live with courage, and keep our eyes fixed on Christ.

Today, we were pleased to welcome student ambassadors, Siena Mia and Aileen from The University of Sydney speak with our students during lunchtime. Students gained valuable insights into why they should consider studying at Sydney Uni, including information about courses on offer, campus life, scholarships and pathways into university. The presenters also explained a range of entry and support schemes available to students, along with practical advice on the university application process. A special highlight was hearing from Siena Mia, one of our 2023 graduates and now an alumni of the school, who shared her own experiences transitioning from high school to university life at The University of Sydney. Her advice and insights provided students with a relatable perspective on the opportunities available after school. Thank you to the team from The University of Sydney for taking the time to support and inspire our students as they begin planning their future pathways.#usyd #cspd

Lifted Live On Wednesday 6th May, ten Year 8 students attended Nagle College to participate in Lifted Live. It was a fantastic and faith-enriching experience for all involved. Throughout the day, students explored the theme of truth — reflecting on what truth means in their own lives and coming to understand that ultimate truth is found in God. They engaged enthusiastically in the dynamic performances, inspiring testimonies, and interactive sessions led by the Lifted Team and Lou Daniels. A particularly meaningful part of the day was the opportunity to participate in Adoration, where students were invited to spend quiet time in prayer, reflection, and worship before Christ. This sacred experience allowed them to pause, listen, and deepen their personal relationship with God. Overall, it was a deeply enriching day that strengthened the students’ faith and provided them with a memorable opportunity to encounter Christ in a joyful and meaningful way.

This morning, Cerdon College warmly welcomed mothers and maternal figures from across our community for our 2026 Mother’s Day Mass. Celebrated by Father Jeremy in the Chavoin Hall, the liturgy was a beautiful and prayerful celebration of the important role mothers and maternal figures play in our lives. It was heartwarming to see so many students gathered alongside their mothers and loved ones as a school community united in gratitude and faith. A particularly moving part of the Mass was the personal student testimonies, where students shared why their mum or maternal figure is so special to them. These reflections touched the hearts of many parents in attendance. The celebration also featured a special photo slideshow of mothers and daughters, accompanied by the choir’s beautiful rendition of The Prayer, creating a truly memorable and emotional moment for all present. We thank all families who attended and helped make the celebration such a blessed and meaningful occasion for our community.
