Seeds of Justice
Selected Year 7 and 8 students were accompanied by Sr Emma to St Aloysius, who hosted this year's Seeds of Justice Junior Conference. The theme was homelessness and inequality in Melbourne, with a presentation from staff at St Mary's House of Welcome. Students shared ideas and opportunities to continue this work of Mercy back at OLMC into next year.
Young Mercy Links
We had a visit from Angela at Young Mercy Links, the vibrant and active group that allows Mercy students to continue their journey after secondary school. We're proud to say that OLMC alumnae make up a significant part of this group, who contribute to sustainability actions, run a Cambodian immersion, participate in faith and social gatherings, and support refugee and reconciliation activities. Each year, Year 12s hear about this group so they can join, and this year we also hosted a small fundraiser towards our St Jude's School sponsorship at the same time.
Exodus Community Christmas Hampers and Gifts
We are again creating 50 hampers for the families in the Exodus Community, which will be given at our annual Christmas dinner. We are also buying gifts for the children, largely fundraised by the Horizon class at this term's stalls. Well done 9G and 9H!
We ask that families please support this drive by bringing the following items to the tub at their Co-ordinator's office.
