Spirit of Mercy Awards 'Be as shining lamps giving light to all around you' - Catherine McAuley
There are many students at Carmel College who are excellent role models for us as we try to live as Mercy women. To acknowledge some of the outstanding examples a new award will be presented in each House, each term, to one junior and one senior student. Students who receive this award have been nominated by their peers and teachers, with final decisions made by the House Dean. Students receive a very special badge with the symbol of a lamp – representing the light of Mercy that they are in our community. The Spirit of Mercy Award recognises students at Carmel who live out our five core Mercy values of: Awhinatanga – Service, Aumihi – Respect, Tika – Justice, Manaakitanga – Care, Aroha - Compassion. Spirit of Mercy awards are announced and presented at the final whole school assembly of each term.

Pasifika breakfast with past student now Member of Parliament After a disrupted 2020 year during which most of the Pasifika events were unfortunately cancelled due to Covid, we recognised the need to reconnect with our Pasifika students and families. Our vision for holding this event was to bring our Carmel Pasifika community together to meet and get to know each other as well as be able to promote future events organised for the year. This first event held in mid-April was a breakfast for both parents and students. We were honoured to have Barbara Edmonds (née Poe) as our first guest speaker. Mrs Edmonds MP, of Samoan descent, was a Carmel College student from 1992 to 1998 when she was co-Head Girl. It was encouraging to hear about her journey as a Carmel College student and how she went to university, and became a lawyer and a tax advisor while also being a mother. She is now the MP for the Mana district. Mary Byrne and Maddie Stowers, Pasifika Student Representatives 2021
