Catholic Identity

                                        Mercy Prayer

We pray for the Sisters of Mercy, who established our school and for the priests who have served at

St. Mary’s.  It is through their vision,  determination and strong faith that we enjoy the benefits of a 

                                                                   Catholic Education here in Mooroopna.

We are proud to be a Mercy School, where the values of love and justice are taught and lived every day.

Caritas - Just Leadership Day     

On Tuesday 26th November, St. Mary's hosted the Caritas - Just Leadership Day for groups of Grade Five children from Goulburn Valley Schools.  This program has been running in Sandhurst since 2003 as part of the overall Social Justice plan in cooperation with Catholic Education Sandhurst.  

The purpose of the Just Leadership days is to encourage and enable students to be actively involved in challenging injustice and to develop the leadership qualities necessary to encourage others to do the same. The day is organised by Caritas Australia and presented by Kerry Stone.  The students focussed on identifying and displaying leadership qualities and some of the social justice issues facing our world - including climate change, being a voice for the oppressed, refugees and aiming to "be more" rather than "having more".  Congratulations to our students who were very much involved in discussions and speaking up in front of the large group of students who attended.
