We were thrilled to welcome so many of our valued alumnae for the 2025 Alumnae Reunion. Alumnae joined us at the College to reconnect for Mass and the ever-popular College Tour. We then headed over to Club Parramatta for canapes and chats. It was a pleasure to see you all at the reunion. We look forward to seeing you all next year!

We have been delighted with the number of alumnae returning to the College to impart their wisdom and share experiences with current Mercy Girls. Here's a brief look into what's been happening at OLMC:

• We were joined by Ruby Jenson and Victoria Silvestro (Class of 2011) as well as Kayla Wehbe and Maddy Nolan (Class of 2017) for the Alumnae Careers Breakfast in June. 
• Marine Biologist, Elissa Mastroianni (Class of 2014) joined Marine Studies students in August to speak about her career journey.
• Louise Marvin (Class of 2010) and Caitlin Edmonds (Class of 2014) visited for the Health & Movement Science Careers Talk in September.
• Annette Vitetta (Class of 1999) joined us this week, offering insight into her career in television production and her upcoming acting lead role in &Juliet at Riverside Theatres from 3-19 October. 

Thank you to all our alumnae for their support.
