New students were warmly and officially welcomed into the Mount Lilydale Mercy College community at Wednesday night’s Community Mass. The Doyle Centre was filled with staff, students family and friends, providing support as Year 7 students each received a badge and bible to welcome them to the College community.
New students in other year levels also received badges and bibles, from Principal Mr Philip Morison and Deputy Principal — Pastoral Care Mr John Rodgers, while Year 12 homeroom teachers handed out badges to our most senior students as a celebration of their contribution to the community in their final year at MLMC. “We will walk with you as you progress on your journey,” Principal Mr Philip Morison said to the Year 12 students.
During his homily, Father Dean Bradbury touched on the College’s theme for 2020 'We humbly act for justice' and asked the audience to “think about what you can do tomorrow”.
Mr Morison said “'WE' is an important word in our community because it means we act as one… we cannot wait for the world to change for us”.
Our College Choir and band did a wonderful job of performing throughout the event.
