On Wednesday, 4 December, five Senior College leaders for 2025 attended the Mercy Leadership Formation Day in Melbourne, facilitated by Mercy Links.
Year 10 student, Kejsi Schulz, reflects:
With other Mercy school students, the 2025 Sacred Heart leaders got talking about what ‘our story’ is. We explored ourselves, Mercy schools, leadership and the impact that Mercy organisations have made on an international level.
We explored what we want to ‘bring to the table’ in our leadership roles next year and had lots of fun with verbs and adjectives like ‘impact’ and ‘teamwork’ and my favourite: ‘legacy’. We explored what mercy means and created our own definitions. I heard phrases such as ‘immediate’, ‘way of life’ and ‘steadfast love.’ We discussed how mercy leadership is different from traditional leadership. ‘It’s challenging, but in the right ways. It’s a calling.’
We learnt about how Mercy Organisations across the globe are making massive impacts to those in need, and had a Zoom session with a Young Mercy Links intern who has had amazing experiences across the world. Lots of connections were made, friendships created, and networks formed. We shared stories and ideas and opportunities.
We gained a new perspective on Mercy corporations, made a whole lot of new friends and connections, and were inspired by the incredible people out there who are making some change in this world, whether they’re students or Mercy Sisters.
