Arushi Kumar (Year 9) has placed second in the TEA Textiles Technology competition and will be exhibited in the 2020 TexStyle Exhibition at Ultimo and Chloe Adams (Year 9) was Highly Commended for her work.
Each year TEA puts together a design brief for the students to fulfil and this year the subject was “ Cultural creations”.
Arushi’s work was based on her Indian culture. With a scratch-foam printed, red mandala design, this art piece was created using dyeing, sequencing, beading, and hand embroidery techniques. In the centre of the mandala is an embroidered outline of the Hindu god, Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and deity of good fortune. The mandala, which traditionally represents the universe, has two layers which are outlined with bronze and maroon hand embroidery, and in each of the 28 petals, there are golden beads or sequins. The colour scheme of the golds and reds hold great significance to the culture as they are traditional colours.
Chloe’s work was based on Japanese culture. She created a wall hanging of Japanese nightlife at the market. “My artwork is depicting a wonderful festival full of happiness and excitement. I chose the festival because I love how beautiful the lanterns are when they are hung up, and I love the crowded atmosphere. It makes the whole scene feel thrilling and alive. I also love the beautiful kimonos that people wear at festivals and wanted to incorporate it in my final design”.
Congratulations to both girls on this fantastic achievement, in particular to Arushi as her design will also be on display at ‘The Muse’ Harris Street Ultimo in March 2020.

Today we welcome and pray for our newly elected Pope, Pope Leo XIV Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Amen.

St Peter Chanel, the first martyr of the Society of Mary and Oceania. Ordained in 1827, he was known for his deep sincerity and holiness. He joined the Marists in 1831 and became a missionary to Oceania, where his words inspired and turned many locals to God. Tragically, he was martyred on April the 28th, 1841. Canonised in 1954, his feast day is now celebrated each year on the 28th of April. Together we pray: St Peter Chanel, you left your homeland to proclaim Jesus, Saviour of the world, to the peoples of Oceania. Guided by the Spirit of God, who is the strength of the gentle, you bore witness to love, even laying down your life. Grant that, like you, we may live our daily life in peace, in joy, and in fraternal love. May your prayer and example call forth from our midst many workers for the Gospel so that God’s Kingdom may reach to the ends of the earth. Amen.
