Year 12 Video

A very special video for a very special group of young men.

Happy watching boys. Thanks for an amazing six years.

Before you watch (re-watch) the video below, take a moment to read the quote below. It is basically the philosophy I kept in mind throughout our time together at the school on the hill, St Paul's Catholic College, Manly:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson

Besides this passage guiding a lot of my day-to-day conduct and my hopes and expectations of you, it may also be compared to something Jesus once said in Matthew 5:16, "let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Let your light shine boys. Some of that light was captured in this video :)
