25.01.2022 Congratulations to our senior netball squad who over the weekend were allocated the duty round for the season. For the allocated weekend the club was required to provide volunteers from 7am to help with setup, QR covid monitoring, clean up and pack up finishing after 5.30pm. They represented Mercy with smiles on their faces and showed maturity and friendliness when dealing with members of the public. Many of them also offered to help with any extra jobs on the day.

22.01.2022 We want to wish all Year 12 students all the best in their HSC examinations starting this week. The class of 2020 have endured a tough year with many interruptions to their study and changes to many of the traditions they would have experienced if not for COVID-19. Inspired by JR’s ‘Inside Out’ project, our Year 10 Art students decided to give our Year 12 students a graduation gift, in the form of art.

After the festival, they also were able to visit the iconic Rottnest island, and see the sunset by the beach on the West coast of Australia. Please enjoy the video showcasing some of their time in Perth.
