On Friday 24 October, three of our Year 11 students — Lily, Alyssa and Veronica — attended the Principals’ Association of Victorian Catholic Secondary Schools (PAVCSS) meeting to speak about Camp Heide, OLMC’s long-running partnership with the Exodus Community in West Heidelberg.
The students shared how the camp brings together young people from Exodus and OLMC to build friendships, trust, and hope through play, conversation, and shared experiences. Their presentation was warmly received by principals and by Sr Brigid Arthur CSB, in whose honour the 2024 Sr Brigid Arthur Award was granted to OLMC to help fund this year’s camp.
We are proud of Lily, Alyssa and Veronica for representing our College with such grace and gratitude, and for helping others see how Mercy continues to be lived through the hands and hearts of our students.
