Principal’s Welcome Letter 2025

Mrs Anna Masters, Principal

Welcome all to the commencement of the 2025 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 2025.

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 Joy. Our theme colour is pink. As we move into 2025, we draw inspiration from the biblical quote,

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

knowing that this feeling of lasting delight, rejoicing, enchantment and spiritual radiance resides in all of us as our birthright and as beloved children of God.
