The first Chapter Chatter session discussed the much loved book, 'Better Than The Movies' by Lynn Painter.
Every second Wednesday in the school library there will perhaps be more chatter than usual as the fortnightly gathering of ‘Chapter Chatter’ takes place.
This new initiative, led by the Student Library Ambassadors, is designed to promote both reading and the school library. “We want to encourage students to read more,” say Nishka T. and Katrina N. Library Ambassadors from Year 8.
And we particularly want to encourage students to read over the school holidays!
Chapter Chatter is a fortnightly meeting, held in the school library, which will look at a different theme each session. This may be a particular book or a particular genre. The first gathering was held last week and it looked at the very popular fiction book by Lynn Painter, ‘Better Than The Movies’. It was attended by a very enthusiastic group of Year 8 students who all expressed their love of both the book and the author.
“I love this author and have read all her books,” said Sophija P. “I love reading because it is an escape from reality and this book was very interesting with lovable characters.”
Librarian Mrs Lorenzutta said ‘Better Than The Movies’ is one of THE books at the moment so it was the perfect book to discuss for the first session of Chapter Chatter.
Students can look out for Chapter Chatter notices on Compass or see the signs in the school library. All students are welcome to attend.

YEAR 10 STUDENTS WALK THE TALK ON RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS ▪️ Last Friday Year 10 students participated in the Walk The Talk Respectful Relationships Education Program. This workshop was delivered by Dannielle Miller OAM, Director of Education, Women’s Community Shelters and CEO of Enlighten Education. And of added interest to Catherine McAuley an ex-student from the Class of 1987! 💕 Dannielle described returning to her former school to speak to Year 10 as “one of the most special events of my career!” The school certainly loved having Dannielle return to speak. The program educates students about the elements of healthy relationships and the nature and characteristics of relationship abuse and coercive control. The program informed students how to handle disclosures of abuse and how to seek help. Following this program the students took part in a practical workshop led by Julia Fleming, Education Officer for Women’s Community Shelters. Year 10 students are exploring ways to address the needs of our local community by supporting the Parramatta Women’s Shelter in a practical way. Thank you to both Dannielle and Julia for speaking with Year 10! 😍 Enlighten Education @parrawomensshelter

LEADERSHIP 🔸 Four Year 12 Catherine McAuley students have spent the last year participating in a leadership program through the University of Sydney. Each holiday period the students attended the USYD campus and completed a variety of leadership workshops aimed to develop their leadership skills. As part of the program the students were assigned to a group with students from other schools and were asked to create a presentation answering the focus question, "How will you utilise leadership for good in the next 12 months to ‘make things happen’?". The students presented to all the students in the program and finished with a graduation ceremony which took place over the most recent holidays. Well done to Emily G., Niamh M., Kaitlin C. and Ann C. on completing this program.

BELLISSIMO!! 🇮🇹 Year 11 Italian students with Ms Tolhurst enjoyed a delicious Italian meal last week as they visited the Italian restaurant Three One Seven in Parramatta. The excursion gave the students the opportunity to experience a little slice of Italy and enjoy some Italian food including the pappardelle lamb ragu and authentic pizzas. After lunch the students visited Messina for a gelato. Year 11 student Acsah N. said that the excursion was a fun and memorable experience. “We’re grateful to the school, and especially to our Italian teacher, for organising it and we look forward to more amazing excursions like this in the future!”

Mercy Chapel ✝ During the recent school holidays a series of stained glass windows were installed in the school chapel. The windows were designed in 2023 by seven students who were chosen after submitting entries into the ‘Mercy Chapel Stained Glass Window Design Competition’ established by Ms Smith and Ms Lowrencev (both have since left the school) as part of their involvement in the Mercy Formation Program. This program sees staff members from each of the five Mercy schools in Sydney choose a project to work on which will deepen the understanding of the Mercy charism at their school. The students worked with Ms Fernandes, former Visual Arts Teacher, on the final designs. The windows represent the six Mercy values of Justice, Excellence, Integrity, Courage, Hospitality and Mercy and each House colour is represented in the ribbons flowing through the panes.

AROUND THE CLASSROOMS ➡️ On Friday the 11th of April, Mrs Nicolson’s Year 10 Commerce class held a mock parliament debate on a proposed amendment to raising the age of Criminal Responsibility in Australia. 👩⚖️ Students engaged in this activity with encouragement in taking part in our roles to highlight the significance of the issue, and conduct research from credible sources to support our arguments. The mock debate allowed students to explore the real-life importance of governments, and debates in shaping laws that govern our lives. Each argument presented emphasised the importance of the legal system in ensuring a fair process of everyone involved. The discussions highlighted how the decisions made in parliament can have meaningful effects on individuals futures and the community's safety and wellbeing. After many voices spoke up in the classroom, and different arguments were made from both sides, a vote was done and the class decided to raise the age! ( The ‘ayes’ had it!). Students learnt the crucial work of government in the legislative process, and we eagerly await the upcoming election. - Karina and Yvanna, Year 10 At the conclusion of the debate, the students were asked to post their reflections on why young people need to be involved in political decision making. Here are some samples of what they wrote: Engaging with legal matters empowers them to advocate for their rights and ensures that their voices are heard in shaping policies that reflect their needs. - Olivia The youth of today will eventually have the power to voice their opinions and vote for change in our government, so it is crucial that they remain educated and aware of the laws that will impact their futures. - Mary It is crucial for young people to pay attention to the laws as they directly impact our lives and the future set out for us. - Kruti
