The Year 12 students were presented with a bracelet as their graduation gift from the school.
The Year 12 students were presented with a 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 take the form of a circle which has no start or end point and is a symbol of eternity”, Ms Banks, Director of Catholic Identity and Mission, told the students at the assembly.
The circle is a symbol of unity, we are all equal in the eyes of God.
Ms Banks explained that the bracelets recognise the Irish heritage of our patroness Venerable Catherine McAuley as each bracelet is engraved with ‘trocaire’, the Irish word for Mercy. “For these young women of Mercy, as they graduate from school, the bracelet symbolises that they belong to the wider Circle of Mercy”, Ms Banks said.
“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”.
