In 1985, Pope John Paul II established World Youth Day – an annual diocesan youth event to be celebrated each Palm Sunday.
The procession traveled down Church Street, Parramatta to St Patrick’s Cathedral where everyone gathered for Palm Sunday Mass
On Sunday 20 March 2016 representatives from all the Diocesan High Schools met at Parramatta Town Hall to participate in the Palm Sunday Procession. Miles Ponce and Josephine Zammit represented St Agnes and carried our school banner with pride.
Following the Mass all schools present came together for a World Youth Day gathering where the St Agnes World Youth Day representatives were present for this event.
The pilgrims from St Agnes are Miss Nikki Valleri, Mr Harry Sadsad and Martin Mangahas of Year 10.
Over the coming months the pilgrims will participate in WYD formation sessions, in preparation for WYD in Krakow, Poland in August.

🧵👩🍳 TEXTILES UPDATE! 👨🍳🧵 Our talented Year 7 Textiles students have been hard at work designing and making aprons as part of their latest project! 🎨✂️ The design brief challenged them to create an apron suitable as PPE for use in the kitchen – a practical and creative task that required them to follow the full Design Process, from initial ideas through to evaluation. While most of the class is nearly there, three students have already finished their aprons right on time – check out their amazing work in the photos attached! 👏👏👏 These aprons won’t just sit on a hanger – they’ll be put to good use in Year 8 Food Tech next year! 🍳🥗 So proud of the effort and creativity shown by all students so far – can’t wait to see the rest completed! 💙
