EDUCATION: CARMEL COLLEGE
Carmel College Principal, Chris Allen, retires Chris Allen was farewelled by students at an assembly on Monday 4th July. The students acknowledged her contribution to our learning community commenting that like Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, Chris has offered of herself in the service of others. She has wrapped her compassion and sense of justice around our school community. In recognition of this, she was presented with a green korowai representing new beginnings and a handmade shawl representing Mercy. Chris leaves Carmel College to travel new roads, with Catherine McAuley as her guide and God by her side, and these gifts will provide a tangible reminder of the Mercy. They are emblematic of the fabric of society, the cloth that wraps, that binds, and the interwoven threads of our lives.
