Opening of the Quiet Room

Last week a group of Monash Berwick staff, students and members of the chaplaincy support team gathered outside the newly established Quiet Room (Room 145) to celebrate its official opening. Marlene Mannays (Campus Manager) gave a brief history of the room and Tim Szalek (President, MUBS) responded with a word of thanks to the management for providing a facility for reflection and prayer. Noel Wek (President, BISA) read a short passage from Ecclesiastes 3:1-7 which declares “there is a time for everything including a time to speak and a time to be quiet."

Please avail yourself of this quiet and reflective environment amidst the hustle and bustle of university life.
