Message from our Principal
Dear Mercy Community
Welcome to Term 4
All students and staff began the term remotely and it has been fantastic to see our students online, feeling positive and looking forward to a great term ahead.
Farewell Year 12 students
I have been an educator for many years. Part of the education journey is the cyclical nature of it – we begin, we learn and grow, and we move on to the journeys that lie ahead of us. Many students began their secondary education journey here at Mercy in 2016, as year 7 students. Others have joined the group along the way, each bringing with them different gifts and attributes that have contributed to a varied and wonderful group of young adults.
When I think of the year 7s who start with us each year, and even those who start their Mercy journey at other levels inevitably, no matter where they come from they have the same questions each year.
“How much homework will I get?” “Will I make friends?” “What if I get lost looking for my class?”
Really what they are saying is – “This is all new…what if this is too challenging? What if this is too big a leap for me?
This was once each Year 12 student. Now, years later, they have come full circle and find them self at the end of their Mercy journey and a great, big, future lies ahead of them. With it, the start of a new journey, and a new set of big questions.
I believe that each and every one of our Year 12 students have the skills to answer the question marks that lie ahead. To find the answers, and grow from the challenges. I know this to be true because I have seen the way in which they have navigated their adolescent years.
Completing year 11 and year 12 in a global pandemic is a part of their story that none of us could have ever imagined. I don’t think in all my years of education I have witnessed a cohort experience as many challenges and turbulence as the Class of 2021. In an already difficult year, yesterday their final day of formal classes was disrupted – and once again they were asked to adapt and be flexible. It was difficult to witness their disappointment, stress and anxiety, and as a learning and wellbeing community we extend our sadness as their final celebrations were not able to go ahead as planned.
I see glimpses of the Catherine McAuley story in their story. Catherine, the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy had a mission, but her journey was not easy – it was met with many challenges and obstacles. But just like each of our Year 12s, she was steadfast in her commitment to achieving her goal – to completing her journey and ensuring success. Catherine and the Sisters of Mercy faced roadblocks at every turn. They had to carve out an existence while tending to staggering poverty and disease, establishing the foundations of education and care on very rocky ground.
If not for Catherine, the world would lack thousands of schools, hospitals and community programs today, and more than 250,000 people wouldn’t have meaningful work. Because Catherine persevered in the face of adversity, countless people benefit today.
We will always remember the class of 2021 as the cohort that triumphed against adversity. Just like Catherine – they have overcome great obstacles and challenges.
Student Executive 2022
As we farewell our Year 12 students, we welcome to the forefront our next generation of leaders and ambassadors-our Year 11 students. They will be lead by the 2022 Student Executive Team who it was wonderful to announce for 2022 on Mercy Day. We know that they will continue the legacy of those who have led before them and make meaningful contributions to life at Mercy College.
We look forward to formally inducting the 2022 Student Executive Team, listed below, during Term 4.
The Importance of Community
It has been a challenging period for us as a community. I thank each and every one of you, our staff and most importantly our students for continuing to persevere with their learning despite the hurdles in front of us. I am humbled once again by the demonstration of our strong community links in action. It is often in times of crisis that we rely on our sense of belonging and partnership in community to pull us through. Through recent challenges, and indeed those brought forward by the pandemic over the last 18 months, community is more important than ever. We rely on those around us for solidarity, support, guidance, information and empathy. One of the greatest challenges of COVID-19 is that to slow the spread of the virus we must practice social distancing and forgo in-person community. Despite this, we have remained connected and engaged with who we are as group – a learning and wellbeing community committed to excellence in all that we do.
The strength and determination of all in our community has enabled me to lead the Mercy College community, and do so with immense pride.
We continue to keep the members of our community who are affected by the pandemic in our thoughts and prayers.
You are not alone – we are here for you.
Let us never lose trust in the patience and mercy of God.

A Blessing for our Year 12 Graduating Class
Anam Cara is a Celtic term that refers to “soul friends,” a somewhat integral part both of Celtic tradition and of spiritual development.
ANAM CARA
May you be blessed with good friends.
May you learn to be a good friend to yourself.
May you be able to journey to that place in your soul where there is great love, warmth, feeling and forgiveness.
May this change you.
May it transfigure that which is negative, distant or cold in you.
May you be brought into the real passion, kinship and affinity of belonging.
May you treasure your friends.

A Reflection from Jessica Mirabelli & Theresa Wehbi
This year has undoubtedly been a difficult one for us all, however, it has opened our eyes to how incredibly lucky we are to have even the most basic of things which we often take for granted such as visiting our loved ones, hugging our friends and even a playful high five. Although we often feel discouraged or frustrated by the lockdowns that have occurred this year, we must keep in mind that this is not the end and that we will get through this together.
As Year 12 students completing our final year of secondary school, this year has not been an easy one, yet we have risen above all of the challenges we have faced, displayed true resilience, and continued to give everything our absolute best while taking life as it comes at us. We would like to recognise and commend everyone who has smiled in the face of adversity and never given up. We hope that you continue to display this unwavering strength throughout life.
This year, we were privileged to have made many memories that we are going to treasure forever such as the retreat and formal. The retreat was such a meaningful experience in which we took the time to reflect on our lives. Mercy College has provided us with many experiences and opportunities which we are forever grateful for and will cherish for the rest of our lives.
The Mercy College community has heavily influenced the strong, independent women we have become. We would like to thank our teachers throughout our six years here at Mercy who have supported us, believed in us and have been there for us. We couldn’t have done it without your nurturing love and guidance.
Ms Mclnerney, our college Principal, has always been an inspiration, a teacher and a humble and kind role model to us all. She leads by example, living the Mercy values of Hospitality, Compassion, Excellence and Justice. We are so grateful for all that she has done for us and we appreciate her genuine care of us.
We would like to express our gratitude to all of you for having faith in us and giving us the opportunity to lead our College together. It has truly been a humbling honour and a privilege, an experience we will always treasure.
Theresa & Jessica
Deputy Principal - Learning & Teaching
Welcome Back to Term 4
Once again our students are navigating both remote and face to face learning. The ‘roadmap’ developed by the Victorian government will enable a staggered return to onsite learning.
Our students are to be congratulated on their enthusiasm and dedication as they begin a term in challenging circumstances.
Staff Professional Development
This week during the Mercy Learning Time teaching staff were able to focus on numeracy across the curriculum. Numeracy was a focus of the Curriculum Review this year. Nancy Surace and Jeanette Seguel from MACs (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools) began their presentation with the curriculum focus group’s recommendations:
- Plan for a school-wide focus on numeracy across the curriculum: planned staff professional development activities, sharing of numeracy moments in classrooms
- Identify/recognise/understand/audit the numeracy demands of each subject Staff were firstly asked to define numeracy – the following wordle highlights the key words/understanding of the staff.
Being numerate is being able "to function effectively mathematically in one’s everyday life, at home and at work" (Willis, 1990)
Teaching staff then explored the numeracy opportunities in their curriculum area. Staff were asked to consider implicit numeracy demands in their curriculum:
The choice and use of technology when and how to use technology and what is considered to be technology - Apps ,Scientific calculators etc
- data handling - the construction of tabular and graphical representations
- computation: particularly percentage applications, fractions and rates
- estimation: numerical and measurement
- the selection, use and interpretation of mathematical language and symbols
- the choice and use of measuring instruments and units (tools)
- number skills in applied measurement situations
- algebraic and pattern-related thinking
- geometric and spatial thinking
- figuring the odds of events
- logical analysis and argument using mathematical thinking
- problem solving
Overall the presentation prompted much discussion and a reflection on assessment and the numeracy demands. Staff were able to focus on the year 7 &8 assessment tasks and highlight how the activity/assessment task addressed numeracy concepts/skills. Staff will continue to focus on numeracy demands across the curriculum and how to best support our students in 2022.
VCE students
Our VCE students completed the GAT- General Achievement Test on Tuesday 5 October. Well done to all the students in completing a three hour examination - their focus and diligence will stand them in good stead for their impending examinations and end of year results.
VCE (Unit 3 /4) students will begin their VCAA examinations with the English examination on Wednesday 27 October. (Students will be begin their Oral/Performance/Language Examinations at an earlier date)
The examination period will end on Wednesday 17 November. Please refer to the link below to the VCE Examination Navigator which includes the student information and examination timetable.
As we reflect on 2021 for our year 12 students, it is important to acknowledge their commitment, resilience and dedication to their studies during these very challenging times. They will complete their final examinations, farewell Mercy College, and focus on their future pathways where all will shine and achieve their absolute best.

World Mental Health Day
The Mercy College students know to reach out when in need but also recognise the importance of capacity building when it comes to managing their emotions. The Student Voice Leaders helped their peers to make a list of activities they can do to promote good mental health and wellbeing. The students then created infographics that reveal strategies to nurture good mental health/wellbeing.
Farewell to Year 12 2021
As the Year 12s gathered to celebrate their last day of secondary school there a number of people in the Mercy community that still remember them filing in on their first day, with long dresses, oversized blazers and heavy backpacks. They then moved upstairs in Clairvaux to their new Junior Mentor Groups. It was not long before they were all dressed in pink celebrating 100 Days of Mercy. Over the years, the Year 12 students demonstrated so many of their gifts. Once such example were the 15 days of Kindness in Year 8, during which they affirmed each other. Year 8 was also the year they were introduced to the Resilience Project, today the students are still holding on to the GEM acronym, Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness. Activities Week in Year 9 was titled, ‘The Best of Me,’ as the Year 12 students are farewelled, they are asked to remember that each and every one of them is valued, appreciated, respected and loved. They all have so many beautiful qualities and the College has been honoured to have journeyed with them. Over the years, these young people continued to grow, in Year 10 they embarked on the world of work and also refined their ballroom dancing skills as they took to the dance floor with the Parade students. Last year obviously came with new challenges, as did this year, despite it all the students have continued to make the College community proud showing resilience and strength. As they finish formal classes, the College wishes the Year 12 cohort of 2021, a future of love, health and happiness.

Activities
College Psychologists
We hope you and your family are safe and well and were able to have some respite over the school holidays. We welcome you to Term 4, which is likely to present exciting new opportunities, as well as new challenges which may understandably be a source of stress and anxiety for some of you.
In particular, the transition back to school can present challenges. Some students benefited from the opportunity to work more flexibility during remote learning and may find that they miss this. Whereas, other students may be looking forward to seeing teachers and peers and engaging in learning face to face.
More broadly, with lockdown ending, some of us are eagerly awaiting the easing of restrictions so we can reunite with loved ones and resume engaging in activities we have been unable to for a prolonged period of time. In contrast, many of us are feeling nervous and fearful of restrictions lifting, with accompanying worries about the health and safety of ourselves and loved ones.
Some of us have become so accustomed to living in lockdown that the transition to a new “normal” will be a difficult adjustment. Moreover, some of us are feeling a mixture of some or all of the above thoughts and emotions, and this is rational and common also.
There are a number of simple strategies we can draw upon to help us transition out of lockdown, cope with accompanying thoughts and emotions and tolerate uncertainty and distress:
Normalise mixed feelings
Experiencing a combination of emotions, such as excitement, relief, worry, and anger, is completely understandable and very normal in the current circumstances. It is important that in our conversations with each other we validate all feelings.
Discuss our worries and what we can look forward to
Identifying, discussing and problem-solving the specific worries we have can be helpful. Remember to accompany this discussion with a conversation about what we are looking forward to as well.
Discuss establishing boundaries
We have been living by a lockdown routine for a while and the degree of comfort that comes with this could make journeying out in the world again difficult. This adjustment to the new routine and expectations may take time to get used to and feel comfortable with. We have to be kind to ourselves and give ourselves the time to process how we are feeling about this change and adjust gradually. It is important for everyone to identify personal boundaries, that is - what you are and are not comfortable with, and communicate these respectfully to those around you.
Re-establish routine
Changing routines takes time and it is important to start preparing early. The week before students start back onsite it is recommended they return to usual sleep times and meal times. The day before starting back students should organise their school bag and uniform - this will help in preparing practically and mentally. The morning of starting back onsite it is essential that students wake up slightly earlier to allow themselves more time than usual to get ready and to talk about any feelings they may be having.
Take time out
In times of transition we feel more fatigued than usual and quiet activities can allow us to recharge and process any big feelings we are having. Scheduled family time can also help to allow everyone the opportunity to debrief on their day.
Reach out for extra support
Drawing on supports is an excellent way to cope through challenging times. We encourage students to reach out to trusted teachers and wellbeing staff. Students can receive additional support in the form of counselling sessions with one of the school psychologists - to organise this students can chat to us directly, or to their year level leader or homeroom teacher. Other services are also listed below:
Headspace 1800 650 890
Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800
Parentline 13 22 89
Be reassured that the decision to go back to school is based on medical advice
Remind ourselves and each other that the easing of restrictions and the return to onsite learning is based on advice from medical professionals. Everyone at school is working hard to make sure students are safe and anyone who is unwell will stay home. It is important that we follow social distancing and mask guidelines and reinforce good hygiene practices to ensure we keep ourselves and each other safe.

House of the Year for 2021
At the House Assembly on Tuesday 12 October the 2021 House Captains presented for their last time. During this assembly, two significant activities took place:
- the announcement of the 2021 House of the Year
- the handover from the present House Captains to the 2022 House Captains
Since Term 4 last year, there have been many activities that have contributed to the overall tally for the 2021 House of the Year. All five Houses Frayne, Kane, Marian, O’Hea and Thecla are to be congratulated for their efforts and participation.
This House Award is not just for sport, even though being active is important for our overall health and wellbeing but we have activities that tap into other skills like drawing, writing, reading, eating, mindfulness etc.
Each House was encouraged to work together to support each activity and participate as much. Most the activities were held onsite and during Term 3 the remaining activities took place offsite. Some of the activities were the:
- Athletics Carnival
- Pancake Relay
- Book/Literacy & Numeracy Week competitions
- Mercy College Olympic Games
- Science Week
- Lockdown Bingo
- Christmas Hampers Fundraising
In particular, your House Captain has shown wonderful leadership in the way that they have worked together to devise these activities, the way they have encouraged you to participate, their love for their House and their eagerness to make a difference. A very huge thank you to our 2021 House Captains:
- Remonda Younan - Frayne
- Alessia Speranza - Kane
- Enza Lorenti - Marian
- Emily Vetere - O’Hea
- Katia Taranto - Thecla
The points have been earned, then lodged and now finally tallied. This year it is once again a very close competition with only 109 points separating second through to fifth position. And then 179 separating first and second.
Like these unusual times, once again, the announcement was made online. To keep the secrecy and build the tension, Ms McInerney made the announcement with a stylish swoosh of a box that revealed, in confetti, the colour of the 2021 House of the Year.
The winner of the 2021 House of the Year was the red House – Kane. The Kane House Captain was then asked to come forward and accept the House shield on behalf of everyone in Kane House. Congratulations to everyone in Kane House.
The official placings for the 2021 House of the Year are as follows:
1st Kane with 1482 points
2nd Marian with 1302 points
3rd O’Hea with 1255 points
4th Thecla with 1222 points
5th Frayne with 1193 points
The 2021 House Captains have led well under the difficult circumstances of this year. They have appreciated everyone from their House who stepped up and gave support to any or all of the House activities. They extended their best wishes to their House for 2022 and encouraged all House member to continue supporting their House and to be as active as possible.
The 2021 House Captains also extended their thanks to Ms McInerney, the Leadership Team and their House Mentor for their support of them in their role and for ensuring that the House system had the opportunity to shine.

Performing Arts
The Year 12 Drama students kicked off exam season with their Solo Performance Exam on Wednesday 6th October. Each student is required to develop a performance from a given stimulus and demonstrate various skills in dramatic action including their acting, manipulation of production areas, representation of sophisticated content, and various elements of drama all in just 7 minutes!
The Drama Solo Performance Examination is a highly sophisticated and challenging task, but one which is very rewarding. Chookas girls!

Italian
Year 7 Italian students have been busy using different “Apps” to present their new learnt language skills in order to engage in conversations about themselves and their school in written form . Students had fun choosing to use “bitmojis” of themselves, cartoon strips or “Canva” to present information about who they are and different aspects of Mercy College . Phrases such as “my school is welcoming” were used by some of the students. The students are working towards collaborating with another school on a joint project where they will exchange information about their schools in the Italian language and ask each other questions and give opinions about their schools. We are looking forward to returning on Campus so that the posters can be displayed around the College in order to reflect languages in action .

School Improvement Survey
A random group of families throughout the College received MACSSIS surveys, formerly known as CEMSIS. These are conducted annually for schools in the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne.
MACSSIS is a low impact, high return set of tools for creating, collecting, analysing, interpreting and using data to inform Catholic school improvement. MACSSIS produces perception data. This data tells us about what different people in a school community think and feel about their learning environment.
The surveys have been designed in alignment with Horizons of Hope: Vision and Context and the School Improvement Framework (SIF) Rubric capabilities, and gather data from students in Years 7–12, a group of randomly selected families, and all teachers and non-teaching staff.
Survey questions cover several domains, which vary across the student, family and staff datasets.
Thank you to those families who have completed the survey already. This data will help us to make evidence driven change in our College, as well as highlight our strengths.

In Memoriam - Angela Strangis
Class of 1976 (Form 4) were saddened to lose one of their own. Angela Strangis, nee Russo, passed away on Sunday 19th September, after a long battle with illness. Angela will be remembered for her unwavering loyalty, caring nature and beautiful smile. School friends couldn’t attend the funeral due to lockdown restrictions, and had to watch the service from their respective homes, sitting by their floral tributes. They formed a symbolic gesture of unity and sisterhood, and from afar, another school friend captured the sunrise, its warmth full of hope and promise. A reminder that life is precious, and to make the most of each day.
The blessing of unity still dwells amongst us and oh what a blessing, it should make all else pass into nothing. This is the spirit of the Order, indeed the true spirit of Mercy flowing on us. (Foundress Catherine McAuley)
