In the spirit of Youth Day, Marist Brothers Linmeyer had the joy of hosting 180 children, ages three to ten, from Mary Help of Christians School and Look Forward Creative Centre on June 13.

The school was filled with laughter and love – from hopscotch in the high school quad and colouring, to Lego fun, soccer games, jumping castles, and candy floss.

“The true magic was watching the learners care for, guide, and play with their young visitors – a beautiful reminder of what Youth Day is about,” said marketing manager Tracy Edwards.

As a Marist school, Marist Brothers Linmeyer believes that education is not only about academic excellence but also about nurturing a deep sense of compassion and responsibility in its students.

“This day was a powerful reminder that when we live out our values, we create space for meaningful transformation not only within our walls but beyond them,” added Edwards.
