Academic Assembly 2025 – Celebrating Hard Work and Achievement
The 2025 Academic Assembly celebrated the outstanding achievements of the Class of 2024 while inspiring current students to embrace the power of perseverance. The central message was clear: “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”
Students were reminded that success isn’t just about ability but about dedication and effort. “To be your best self means working hard to achieve what is good for both yourself and others.” Our Year 12 students value the privilege of learning at Mercy Catholic College, where engaging and challenging experiences help shape their understanding of the world.
Beyond academics, the assembly highlighted the strong friendships and teacher-student relationships built within our school. “Behind these walls, they built strong relationships with teachers and even stronger friendships.” These connections, along with experiences in creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking, prepare students for life beyond school.
As we congratulate the Class of 2024, we also encourage the Class of 2025 to continue striving for excellence. “In life, there are so many different ways to achieve.” With hard work and integrity, success will follow.
