Welcome to the latest updates on the Year 8 cohort and a special welcome to the arrival of cooler weather.

Just a reminder that academic uniforms must be worn with ties and blazers to and from school. Please support your child in following this.

• Water bottle, snacks and lunch

Production Update

Links to the Rock of Ages (Teen Edition) Production tickets can be found below. Book soon, because they are selling fast! White seats are taken, green seats are available.

Doors open 6.30pm, show is at 7.00pm. 

The balcony has recently been opened for ticket sales (a CMCB record), so more great seats have become available.

Leadership Update

This is a ‘shout out’ to the current Year 8 leaders. Each Monday morning during Mercy Homegroup time, the leaders have a special session with either Mrs Lethlean or Mr Hann to write the content for the weekly assembly, speak about student issues and also create engaging content. This includes having ‘Student Shout Outs’ in which students showcase the Mercy values. They have also implemented a ‘Staff - Who Am I?’ for students to guess.

The leaders should be congratulated for their efforts to build community, positivity and bring a genuine voice to the Year 8 cohort. Not to mention being exemplary leaders.

Well done to all of you!
