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.

Together For Humanity Fundraiser at Parliament House On Wednesday, 4th June 2025, four St Agnes student leaders, Austin, Annliya, Alex, and Angela, had the honour of representing our school at the Together For Humanity (TFH) Fundraiser held at Parliament House, Sydney. Selected for their exceptional involvement in TFH Leadership Training, the students joined Miss Fielding on a panel facilitated by journalist Ally Langdon, where they spoke powerfully about leadership, inclusion, and intercultural understanding. Their reflections highlighted the importance of accepting difference, breaking down prejudice, and creating a world where all people are valued and welcomed for who they are. The event was attended by prominent Members of Parliament, who voiced strong support for initiatives that promote diversity, unity, and social cohesion.
