YEAR 11 RETREAT 🤝

Over the past two days, our Year 11 students went on retreat, taking time to reflect on who they are, the choices they make and the leaders they want to become.

With Catherine Kolomyjec from The Kindness Challenge, students explored Catherine McAuley’s journey and the compassion she showed others, reflected on the character traits of effective leaders and completed activities in preparation for R U OK? Day.

The students also spent time with the Passionist Retreat Team who guided them through conversations and activities focused on building healthy relationships and making good choices.

A meaningful two days of learning, reflection and connection. 💙

Students took part in interactive sessions exploring Water for Today and Tomorrow, Think Before You Throw, Human-Centred AI and Listening to Country. They also made personal pledges and worked together to brainstorm sustainability initiatives and priorities for our own school.

It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn, listen, collaborate and take action for our common home. 🤝🌏

Today, we celebrated the Blessing and Official Opening of our new Dublin building and Comfort Café.

The occasion began with a Smoking Ceremony conducted by Mr Len Yarran. Guests then gathered in Dublin, where Fr Sam led a liturgy and blessed the building before Sr Joanne Dickson RSM officially opened it by unveiling a commemorative plaque marking an important new chapter in the continuing story of the Sisters of Mercy in Western Australia.

The celebration then moved to the Comfort Café, where Fr Sam blessed the new space and Sr Joanne unveiled a second plaque to officially declare it open. This was followed by a lovely afternoon tea in the tradition of Catherine McAuley.

We were honoured to welcome several Sisters of Mercy to our campus, together with staff, students, parents and representatives from CEWA. The occasion also provided an opportunity to acknowledge the architects, builders and everyone who helped bring these wonderful new facilities to life.

A proud moment for Mercy College and a beautiful reflection of our enduring Mercy legacy. 💛
