The windy and occasionally drizzly conditions failed to prevent a great day for everyone who attended the Mercy Day celebrations. Students and staff decked themselves out in house colours and showed flair and imagination with the range of costumes.

The liturgy for Mercy Day focused on the parable of the Good Samaritan and we were fortunate to have Sister Sally Bradley, Executive Director of Mercy Works, speak about Jesus’ call to reach out beyond our comfort zones, with examples from Mercy Works projects in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Well done to our student leaders, musicians and singers who led our liturgy so beautifully.

Congratulations to our Spirit of Catherine award winners from Terms 1 to 3 who were recognised for their efforts to live out the Mercy Values in their words and actions. Read more.

Outside, the hot food stalls were popular all day, as were the inflatable games and activities. The crowd also enjoyed performances from the many talented musicians who took to the McAuley Square stage.

We thank everyone who attended the celebration and helped raise much-needed funds for Mercy Works and to the many volunteers who assisted with the various stalls and activities.

Congratulations and thank you to everyone for making our Mercy Day Celebration such a successful end to the term for our community. Read more.

On the first day of Term 4 we look forward to welcoming the newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer of Mercy Education Limited, Ms Louisa Rennie who will be visiting and touring each campus, visiting classes and talking with students and staff as well as meeting with leadership.

Term 4 is always a busy and eventful time for staff and students alike, so we trust that everyone is enjoying a safe and relaxing break and is ready to return rested and full of enthusiasm for the final term. Remember that next week we return to school wearing summer uniform and bucket hats are to be worn when outdoors.

Kind Regards
Frank Dullard, Acting Principal
