ACC MARSDEN PARK PARTNERS WITH COMPASSION AUSTRALIA

ACC Marsden Park is excited to announce a new partnership with Compassion Australia through the Changemakers initiative. A collaboration centred on discipleship, compassion, and developing students who live out their faith in meaningful ways.

In a heartfelt message to staff, Compassion Australia CEO Clare Steele recently shared her excitement about the partnership, highlighting the powerful role schools play in shaping not only what students know, but who they become.

Together, ACC Marsden Park and Compassion Australia hope to embed service, justice, and compassion into the rhythms of everyday school life, helping students encounter God’s heart for the world and inspiring them to become global citizens with faith expressed in tangible ways.

College Principal, Brendan Corr, reflected on the opportunity this partnership brings for both students and staff.

“At Marsden Park, we often say that ‘little things matter’. What drew me to this partnership is that it lives that out, it’s not another standalone program, but a chance to form students of character, courage, and compassion,”

Through Changemakers, students will have opportunities to engage with real stories, develop a deeper understanding of justice and poverty, and actively care for others in practical and faith-filled ways.

This partnership marks an exciting step forward in continuing to build a school culture where faith, service, and compassion are lived out daily. Both within our community and beyond.

ANNOUNCEMENT: EXTENDED LIBRARY HOURS FOR YEAR 11 & 12

Great news! To further support our senior students with study time and access to College resources, we are extending our Library opening hours.

From Monday 4 May, the Library will be open for Year 11 and 12 students from 7.30 am to 5.00 pm, Monday to Thursday.

We are hopeful that these extended hours will provide greater flexibility for students to make use of College resources both before and after school, supporting focused study and academic progress.
