Dear Mount Carmel Community,

As we move through February and begin to notice the earliest signs of spring, we are reminded that renewal is a core theme within Catholic education. Spring invites us to look with hope toward what is emerging, just as our ethos calls us to continually grow, reflect, and become “people for others.”

This term has been full and demanding, and I want to acknowledge the tremendous effort shown across our school community.

To our staff: thank you for the dedication, professionalism, and care you bring to your work each day. Your commitment to the academic, personal, and spiritual development of our students breathes life into our mission.

To our students: each of you has taken important steps forward this term. Whether your progress has been academic, social, creative, or personal, it matters. Growth is rarely loud, but it is always meaningful. Like the first shoots of spring, your development often begins beneath the surface before it becomes visible. We are proud of your efforts, your resilience, and the way so many of you strive to live out the values of kindness, curiosity, and service.

To our parents and guardians: thank you for your continued partnership and support. Your trust and encouragement allow our work to flourish. Catholic education is rooted in community, and your role in that community is invaluable.

As we look ahead to the remainder of the year, let us continue to accompany one another, as a school grounded in faith, care, and the Ignatian vision of forming young women of competence, conscience and compassion.

Wishing you all a restful mid‑term break and renewed energy for the weeks to come.

Cillian O'Riordan
