Hello families,
As we commence Term 2, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the strong and positive start many of our students have made. It is clear that our Wati students are continuing to grow in confidence, leadership, and care for one another—and this term, our focus is to build on this strong foundation by guiding our Wati House through two key developmental themes.
This term, Year 7 will focus on Respectful Relationships, learning how their words and actions can build a supportive, faith-filled community. This will be reinforced at Year 7 Camp, where students will develop friendships, resilience, and teamwork. Year 8 will explore Making Good Choices & Improving Self-Esteem, with a focus on Compassion, encouraging thoughtful decisions that build confidence and care for others. Across both year levels, we are also strengthening our focus on academic rigour, respectful communication, and positive peer connections; skills that are essential now and into the future.
With this, it is a privilege to promote and highlight those who lived out the Mercy tradition in Term 1 2025 and were awarded the Mercy Value Award:

I would also like to take this opportunity to shine a spotlight on one of our Year 7 students, Eamon Brown, who demonstrated tremendous courage and leadership by performing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes during our College ANZAC Day Ceremony. His willingness to share his talent in such a meaningful and public way was a powerful act of respect and remembrance. We are all so proud of Eamon and what a beautiful example of the strength that lies in showing immense courage!
A heartfelt thank you also goes out to the Wati students who represented our House at the Medowie Dawn Service during the school holidays. Your presence and reverence at this solemn community event were deeply appreciated and did not go unnoticed. I look forward to working without Wati House students to continue to live out our Mercy values, make thoughtful choices, and look out for one another. With compassion, courage and commitment, Wati House will continue to thrive.
United in Mercy,
Wati Discovery House Leaders
