Two MLMC Year 11 students will soon be chosen to represent the College at this year’s Australasian Mercy Secondary Schools Association (AMSSA) student conference, which will be held at Santa Maria College in Perth, WA, from Saturday 22 September to Wednesday 26 September.
Santa Maria College is nestled in picturesque gardens overlooking the Swan River in Attadale, WA, about 15km from the Perth CBD and a 30-minute drive from Perth Airport. Students will stay in the boarding facilities at the College for the duration of the Conference.
On Mercy Day, students will journey up the Swan River by ferry, following in the footsteps of Ursula Frayne and her companions, and have the opportunity to explore on foot how the Mercy story flourished in the City of Perth. Mercy Day celebrations will conclude at Mercedes College, the oldest continuing girls’ school in Australia, located at Victoria Square Perth, the original site of foundation.
Other activities include guest speakers, addressing their personal formation stories founded in Mercy traditions, and Heritage Marketplace, which shares our Mercy foundations.
Applications should take the form of a letter stating what being part of a mercy community means to you, how you have contributed to our mercy community during your time at the College and why you should be chosen to represent MLMC. Please place these in a sealed envelope marked for the Attention of Miss Elizabeth Keogh and hand it in to student reception. Please sign the sheet when you hand these in. The College will cover costs other than spending money
Applications close at the end of lunch on Tuesday 19 June 2018.
