Uniform
A reminder that the transition into full summer uniform takes place on Wednesday 2 November (just after the Melbourne Cup Day public holiday). Until then, students have the option of wearing either full winter or full summer uniform, not a combination.
If your child has had a growth spurt over Terms 2 and 3 and their summer uniform does not fit them properly, we ask that the winter uniform be worn until the summer uniform is replaced or altered so that it meets the uniform requirements. Some families will have already received notices drawing their attention to alterations that need to be undertaken. This is a consistent approach being undertaken at all year levels. We ask for your cooperation with this.
Sports uniforms are not to be worn. Students are expected to follow the normal guidelines relating to the wearing of sports uniform.
Hats, hats, hats!
As always, Terms 1 and 4 are times when we expect students to wear hats when not in designated shade areas at recess and lunchtimes. Please ensure your child has their hat at school and it has their name clearly visible inside it.
One way we can all help put past disruptions behind us and continue to return to normal schooling is to ensure the basics of correct uniform are adhered to.
Year 12
Congratulations to the Year 12 students on completing six years of classes here at Mount Lilydale Mercy College. We wish them all the very best as they undertake their next chapter in life, be it exams just around the corner, or other pathways that have captured their interest. For those still to do exams, continue to make use of the College as a resource as you study.
Our next formal event with our Year 12s is our Graduation on Friday 25 November. If you have not already bought tickets, please do so ASAP so that we can offer second round sales to those families seeking extra tickets.
Catherine’s Cafe and Breakfast Club
Providing students with the opportunity to offer service to others is something we strive to achieve at the College. What better way to live our Gospel teachings and continue the wonderful work of the Sisters of Mercy than to allow our students to roll up their sleeves and help others.
Throughout the year, Catherine’s Cafe (on a Tuesday night in Lilydale) and our Friday morning Breakfast Club in the Ministry Lounge were run by our Year 12 students. However, with classes having concluded for our Year 12s, we now need volunteers. Spots are still available to Year 11 students for the remainder of the year. Please encourage your child to join us in serving our communities.
