“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? ……Consider how the lilies of the field grow….”
(Matthew 6:27-29)

Year 7 Reflection Day

Our Year 7’s embarked on learning and experiencing our Mercy traditions, history and values and understanding our Mercy Key of Loyalty, Lent and spending time together enjoying each other’s company.
Students engaged in activities with their Year 7 teachers, enjoying a history tour of our college, the chapel, understanding the significance of Catherine McAuley’s legacy and investigations of our sports Houses – Barry, Fitzpatrick, Dalton and McAuley.

Year 12 Seminar Day

Year 12 students had the fabulous opportunity to engage in what it means to have ‘Loyalty to our Global Family’, they listened to speakers working in social Justice in Adelaide and participated meditation, ethical consumerism, prayer and hiked up Carrick Hill.

Our guest speakers - Umes Acharya, Youth and Community Engagement Officer at St Vincent De Paul and Meng Liu, an advocacy officer at Working Women Centre SA were both dynamic and engaging, speaking about ‘Why they do what they do, for others…’ They both also spoke about their work in advocacy campaigns addressing wage theft and worker exploitation, providing real life examples of their social justice and advocacy work.
It was a wonderful and uplifting day, with the most stunning weather and a wonderful sense of togetherness.

Blessings to all
