Welcome to 2018 and a special welcome to our new families. The Year 7 parents were welcomed with a Liturgy and morning tea on Wednesday and the group was buzzing with excitement as they and their children begin/continue their association with Mount Lilydale Mercy College.

I would like to invite parents/grandparents to consider volunteering with us this year. Volunteers assist students with opportunities that are available to them through the Organisational Skills program, Parents and Friends' Association and the Young Farmers’ Club. Government regulations require a few things to be completed before people can volunteer in schools. If you would like to find out more information, please feel free to contact me.

The Volunteer Application form can be found on the College website. http://www.mlmc.vic.edu.au/about-us/employment-1. Please complete the form and attach a copy of your current WWCC (Working With Children card) and email to me at ryanm@mlmc.vic.edu.au I will organise a quick interview and finalise the paperwork.

The Parents and Friends AGM will be held on Tuesday 20 February at 7pm in the staff dining room at the back of Mount Saint Joseph building. All interested people are invited to attend the meeting to hear our plans for the year. Please be assured that there is no pressure to attend every activity.

We are also keen for support with Organisational Skills throughout the college and if you would like further information, please contact me.

We are looking forward to an exciting year and your support and engagement with the college.
