On Sunday of week 9, we paused to reflect on the importance of peace in our world, our communities, and our hearts. World Peace Day reminds us that even small acts of kindness and understanding can help build a more just and hopeful future.
 
On Friday, the Rotary Club of Mawson Lakes held their annual World Peace Day ceremony, exploring this year’s theme of Cultivating a Culture of Peace. College Captain Grace spoke of TMC’s belief that peace is more than the absence of conflict; it is the presence of compassion, respect, and understanding. Peace begins with small acts of kindness, respect, and compassion. We also heard from Patrick Trimboli, of Rotary Mawson Lakes, Tony Zappia MP, Mayor Gillian Aldridge OAM and College captains of Endeavour College, who all echoed the importance of peace in our world and how it starts with us.
 
At Thomas More College, we are proud to be “gardeners of peace,” shaping a future where unity is stronger than conflict and love outweighs division.
