The immersion will take place from Monday 5 May - Saturday 10 May 2025, and will be facilitated by Red Earth, a social enterprise that ​partners with First Nations Traditional Owners, families and communities.

We will be inviting students to apply for this immersion early in Term 3.

In support of this, we will be holding an information session for families via Zoom on Thursday 25 July -  6:30pm.

ASRC and McAuley Services collections - Thank you!

Warm thanks are offered to the community for the generous donations received in support of our recent campaigns in support of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASEC)and McAuley Services for Women and Children.

The ASRC were grateful for the supply of non-perishable food items gifted to them in support of their food bank program, and the items for McAuley Services have been packaged up into Welcome Packs for women and children seeking shelter from homelessness and family violence.

While our formal campaigns have come to a close, items in support of either organisation can continue to be dropped off throughout the year at the collection point near the Chapel. It is also timely that we express our gratitude to the many SHC staff who choose to offer regular financial contributions to both ASRC and McAuley Services via our Payroll Giving Program.

Australasian Mercy Secondary Schools Association (AMSSA) Conference 2024

In high spirits of companionship and a shared world view, close to 120 students from Mercy schools across Australia spent time connecting with each other at this week’s AMSSA Conference. The theme for this year’s event was “Mercy: Pathways of Joy and Hope”, and the Conference was co-hosted by Catherine McAuley College, Bendigo and our own school community. We were enormously proud of our student leaders, who offered our many conference guests a warm welcome, in a spirit of generous hospitality. The event featured many high points, and a number of high calibre guest speakers and presenters. All participants travelled home, whether to destinations near or far, enriched with a renewed appreciation for the spirit of Mercy that unites us all.
