Thanks to all who supported student service this year – deans, teachers, school staff and amazing family members.  Over 87% of our students participated; that’s a lot of Mercy Women Energy making the world a better place.

Service actions over the holidays can be counted towards the 2025 assignment, so along with eating and relaxing, go ahead and do something for others; it will feel great!   Best wishes to all for a blessed, happy (and helpful) Christmas and holidays.

The last word goes to Chloe in Year 9 :

Not only did my acts of service help others in the community this year, but it also had a positive impact on me.  I received so many nice comments from the people that I helped, which made me feel great and strengthened my desire to help … I also made new friends with the new students at Carmel, which made my school experience this year even better.  I have found that I am so glad that we must do this at Carmel because it has taught me important skills, and I now find myself helping out and doing acts of service without even realising.  Overall it was really fun and I’m so glad I got to do it with my friends.
