Dear Colleagues,
As we welcome in the New Year and make preparations for the commencement of school, the scale of the tragedy of the recent bushfires in southeast Australia is still being realised. As our school communities return and the needs of families who have been impacted upon is assessed, we will identify in the coming days ways in which our family of schools might best support one another.
Please keep the victims of these tragic fires in your prayers, and the generous people who are caring for them in so many ways. May God especially keep safe from harm the brave volunteers who are still fighting the fires.
Please also read this message from the Superior General Brother Ernesto to all Australian Marists.
Yours sincerely,
Frank Malloy
National Director, Marist Schools Australia
