Pearls of wisdom for our CLASS OF 2020
Congratulations new graduates, and welcome to the St Mary’s College alumni family. Your journey at St Mary’s College does not stop when you graduate. From the moment you complete Year 12, you become a lifelong member of our alumni—a community of past students and staff from across the decades, committed to supporting the next generation of St Mary’s College students and keeping the Presentation Sisters’ mission alive. We asked our current alumni to share a piece of advice, message of encouragement or a few words to live by for incoming alumni. We have published a selection of these below. ‘Your best is enough’. ‘Don’t stress, there are many roads to Rome. Study the best you can and no matter the results, celebrate your achievements knowing you have done your very best. Good luck for the future.’ 'Don't think that you'll have just one career for the rest of your working life. If you believe in your own abilities and are prepared to study, you can achieve anything. As the world changes and your life circumstances alter, you may find your current career no longer suits you. That's not failure, it's just the way life goes. Best of luck going forward, girls.' You are enough—please don’t stress, it is wasted emotion. Seek solace from your family, laughter from your friends and know that your teachers love you.' 'Be true to yourself, always.'
