Together we will keep their star shining bright
Hello all,
Recently the community of Saint Ignatius College, Riverview has lost one of its most beloved teachers Mrs Younan to leukaemia.
The boys in her Business Studies class of 2019 were devastated by this news, with Mrs Younan being such a dominant presence throughout our final year of school. Mrs Younan was special individual who’s light-hearted and caring personality was able to transcend the formal structure of teacher - student relationships, forming a deep and meaningful connection with every boy that she taught.
For a woman who had encountered so much darkness throughout her life she was always able to radiate positivity and hope.
As a class we all agree that what this situation clearly demonstrates is how this disease indiscriminately affects everyone, including those who least deserve it, for which there is no better example than Mrs Younan
For this reason, on the suggestion of her loved ones, we have started this page in her memory. It would mean so much to the class and the family if you could contribute whatever amount you could to help find a cure for this devastating disease.
Love,
The Bo’s Boys
Thank you for your kind support

Mrs Younan was an inspiration to us all. Her consistent compassion, kindness patience and care for students has left a resounding legacy. She had a great impact on me as a student and many others. I hope this little bit helps fulfil the wonderful memory of Mrs Younan.

Couldn’t have wished for a better teacher in our final year! She didn’t just teach but she went the extra mile of being more of a role model for us. Some of the best memories were made in that class and she was always a source of calm amongst the stress of the HSC. As a tutor for high school students I still find myself bragging about how lucky we were to have Ms Younan teach us.

One of the best teachers and mentors Riverview had - second to no one. Made an impact on a lot of students for the better. One of the best teachers I have ever had.

Mel was the love of my life. We only had 7 years 7 months together. She did so much for so many. The work she put in at home was annoying to me but to see her legacy it was all worth while. Thank you class
