Year 7 2026 Enrolment Interviews
Last week our leadership staff conducted enrolment interviews for Year 7, 2026. These sessions allowed us to meet close to 300 prospective students, together with their parents/carers. These interviews are a crucial step in the enrolment process. They provide an opportunity for us to meet, hear about each family’s aspirations for their child’s education, ask questions and explore how the College can support each student to reach their full potential. Thank you to everyone for your commitment to this process.
AMSSA Conference
Last week I travelled with a number of our College leaders to Santa Maria College in Attadale WA, for the biennial AMSSA Staff Conference. It was a powerful celebration of all that unites schools in the Mercy tradition: the enduring legacy of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy, our shared faith, courageous leadership and service, and a vision for thriving learning communities.
Led by the 2025 theme of ‘Community, Connection and Celebration’ the conference brought Mercy educators and leaders across Australia, New Zealand and Oceania together to explore how faith, education, science and art can intersect to build vibrant, connected learning communities.
Our iGEN Intergenerational Learning program was featured in an excellent session led by Mr Colin Hogan (iGEN Director CMCB) and Ms Ellen Francis (iGEN Project Officer Mercy Health) which spoke so well to the conference theme ‘Community, Connection and Celebratiion’. (iGEN brochure)
We are proud to be part of the Mercy Education network which is united in shared purpose; where collaboration is purposeful, leadership is relational, and the future of our educational ministry in the Mercy charism continues to shine bright.
