I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our convenors, managers, coaches and parents for the effort that you have put into creating valuable opportunities for our students to participate in the Merici Co-curricular Sporting program. The contributions of our volunteers and their service as coaches and managers are at the heart of the school’s sporting program. Without their support, co-curricular sport would not exist.
Congratulations to our Co-curricular Sport participants who received their sports awards today.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all our students and special thanks to our coaches for their dedication and support.

The word I have chosen is Empowerment. The nuns and the few lay teachers we had told us we had choices in career, life pathways, our bodies, relationships. They told us we were able to make a difference in the world. The nuns were the first feminists I knew and they encouraged us to believe in ourselves as young women, and we had the right for equal treatment in society. They treated us as young women, opening our eyes to issues of the day. They encouraged us to have our own voice.

Today is Remembrance Day. A reminder we will pause as a College community this morning for a reflection.
Prayer: Compassionate God,
In whose hands are the destinies of this and every nation,
We give you thanks for the freedoms we enjoy in this land
And for those who laid down their lives to defend them:
We pray that we and all the people of Australia,
Gratefully remembering their courage and their sacrifice,
May have the grace to live in a spirit of justice, of generosity, and of peace;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
More than 110 million shoes are imported into Australia each year.
One quarter of these are sports shoes with only 1% collected and recycled after use.
Shoe components take over 1000 years to break down.
This is a significant environmental concern.
When footwear is thrown out, not only do we miss the chance to divert tonnes of landfill, we miss out on the valuable opportunity to reclaim, recycle, repurpose and reuse.
Enter TreadLightly - a national recycling initiative where you can take your unwanted sports and lifestlyle footwear to be recycled.
