Our College celebrates Invisible Disabilities every day, with all our awesome students who are such valuable members of our community.
All of our students engage in visual arts and one of our students, Matthew, recently painted the transition of a sunflower from bud to bloom.
The symbolism of this artwork defines what we aim to achieve at St Edmund’s. The sunflower has become a nationally accepted symbol for hidden disability, but never is it something that means hiding away the gifts that intellectual disability provides and promotes.
Our students remind us every day of the God-given talents they possess, which enhance and enrich our community.
Where such talents and gifts need not be concealed, but revealed.
Not kept in bud, but appreciated, and marvelled at, in full bloom.
In the same way that the sunflower follows the path of the sun, may St Edmund’s always provide a source of light and life, that all our students deserve to receive, so as to grow and develop and follow the path where life is leading them –
a life of hope, blessings and promise.
