Congratulations to the Class of 2021 who graduated on Friday, 10th December 2021.
A Year 12 Graduation Liturgy and Graduation Ceremony was held in the Morley Centre. Year 12 students were in attendance whilst parents watched the live stream from Dobson Green. The rest of the school community joined in the celebrations by watching the livestream from their Homeroom classes.
The Graduation Liturgy was celebrated by Rev. Father Walter Fogarty, Coordinating Pastor of the Westmead Catholic Community and special guests included members of the Sisters of Mercy Parramatta. Students were presented with a graduation cup and saucer, a symbol of Mercy hospitality and joined together in a Circle of Mercy for the last time.
Following the Liturgy students joined their parents in Mercy Square for a celebration morning tea before returning to the Morley Centre for the Graduation Ceremony.
At the Graduation Ceremony all students were presented with their graduation certificates and a number of special awards were given out. Congratulations to all students!

AROUND THE CLASSROOMS ➡ The Year 10 Global Connections class have been exploring different South East Asian countries this term in their ‘Australian Neighbours’ Unit. 🇻🇳 🇮🇩 🇹🇴 🇵🇭 Year 10 Media Team Student Angel explains: “This research has led to a mini project that showcases aspects of our chosen countries such as climate, topography, native animals and location. This has helped the class gain a better understanding of these countries. The students also created an oral presentation, using visual aids such as physical posters, and we presented this to the whole class”.

Year 10 History students spent Friday last week exploring the Vietnam War period in Australia. Students were fortunate to be able to listen to Ms Tang, Catherine McAuley teacher, who told the students the story of her mother, who came to Australia as a refugee after the Vietnam War. The students then watched an Anh Do documentary and answered reflection questions on the experiences of refugees who fled to Australia after the war. The History students finished their day listening to Mr Brett Hunt, a theatre in education performer, who shared the experiences of his father Frankie, and other veterans, who inspired the song ‘I Was Only 19’ by Redgum.
