Principal’s address by Dr Zachariah Matthews – Class 2023
Sydney, 22 September 2023
——-
Be more!
More than the addictive algorithms
More than the obsession with likes
More than the airbrushed smiles
Be more!
More than the filters that fool
More than the mindless memes
More than the senseless viral videos
Be more!
More than the dopamine hits
More than the six packs to impress
More than the Gucci bags
Be more!
Be free, free from the puppet strings
Be the highs and lows that make you, you
Be the light that brightens the dark
Be more!
Be the kindness that warms hearts
Be all that you can be
And more than that, “kun ma’allah”, be with Allah!
