SCHOOL CREST - THE LION OF ST MARK

The Winged Lion is the traditional symbol of St Mark the Evangelist. From the 5th century, four creatures mentioned in the book of Revelation have been assigned to the four evangelists, with the Winged Lion attributed to St Mark.

In Christian iconography the St Mark Lion was often depicted as holding up the book of St Mark's Gospel.

Take a break from lunchboxes, homework, and the nightly juggle, and join us for a fun evening of good company, great chats, and a few laughs.

Whether you're new to St Mark's or have been part of the community for years, this is a great chance to meet other parents, catch up with friends, and strengthen the connections that make our school community so special.

This isn't a fundraiser—just a relaxed social evening for St Mark's parents, family, and friends.

We'd love to get an idea of numbers, so if you're planning to come, please take a minute to RSVP.

Can't commit just yet? No problem! If you decide to join us at the last minute, we'd still love to see you. The more, the merrier!
