Thank you Malia Harrison and Olivia Miles for your enthusiasm for life and vision for the future. You have been great ambassadors. Well done and congratulations. Thank you also to our 2019 Captains. We have valued your generous spirit and the gusto you have instilled in your teams and Houses.
It is with the utmost privilege that Olivia and I conclude our time here at Merici as College Captains as we stand here representing the Graduating Class of 2019. Graduation marks both an ending and a beginning. It is warm memories of the past but also the big dreams of the future.

In my six years as a Principal, I have been troubled by the rise in the number of students diagnosed with mental health issues. Only yesterday, an article in our local paper highlighted that 1 in 4 students were struggling with a mental health issue and 1 in 7 students has had an episode in the past 12 months.
Anxiety, stress, relationship conflict, body image, grief, addiction and suicidal ideation – all are on the rise.
