Late last term 13 Year 9 students attended the Mercy 5 Junior Forum held at Monte Sant’ Angelo Mercy College in North Sydney. The students participated in activities that looked at water scarcity throughout the world, with the main theme the Mercy value of Stewardship. One of the activities was a filtration experiment where the students learnt firsthand how difficult it can be to purify water in areas facing water scarcity. The students said this activity helped them appreciate how vital clean water is and how limited access to it can affect people’s day to day lives. 💦💦

CLASS OF 2024 🥰 The Year 12 students were presented with a graduation gift from the school at the Year 12 final assembly on Wednesday, 25th September 2024. Each Year 12 student was presented with a bracelet. This bracelet was designed by members of staff as part of the Mercy 5 Staff Formation Project. The bracelets recognise the Irish heritage of our patroness Venerable Catherine McAuley as each bracelet is engraved with ‘trocaire’, the Irish word for Mercy. Ms Banks, Director of Catholic Identity and Mission, told the students gathered at the assembly, “As the Year 12 graduates wear their bracelets may they remember the words from our school hymn, The Circle of Mercy - ‘That the Circle of Mercy is timeless’. May they journey through life living out the mercy values and continue to strive for higher things”.
