MLMC students who who did their best and also gave their best in 2021 were part of our Night of Excellence event held at the College on Tuesday 14 December.
Awards were presented in Centennial Hall for academic excellence in each year level from 7-11 while students who demonstrated our Mercy values were also recognised. The academic achievements of our Year 12 students will be recognised at our Top Achievers' Assembly in February 2022.
The 2021 Catherine McAuley Student of the Year Award recipient is Charlotte Vranken (pictured above) and the Mark Prest Award for Educational Excellence went to McAuley Campus Director Mrs Gail Preston.
Congratulations to all our students for their resilience and determination during another difficult year.
