Welcome all to the commencement of the 2024 school year. I hope that you had a very happy and safe Christmas and New Year holiday season. I also trust that all are ready for:
- a fresh beginning,
- to be open to new experiences, and
- are looking to continue your journey to human growth and fullness of being in 2024.
I would like to take this opportunity of welcoming our new Year 7s and students who have joined the Merici community in Years 8 through to Year 12. This year our College theme is Spes, a powerful word that encapsulates the essence of hope. As we embark on this journey through 2024, we draw inspiration from the biblical quote, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19), anchoring ourselves in the unwavering certainty that propels us forward in all that we do. As a Merici Community, we celebrate the transformative power of hope, recognizing it as a guiding force that illuminates our path and unites us in our shared vision.
