“Love is shown more in deeds than in words.” – St. Ignatius of Loyola
Dear All Members of the Mount Carmel Community,
As we approach the season of Christmas, this reminder from St. Ignatius speaks powerfully to the heart of our mission as a Catholic school. The birth of Christ is God’s love made visible—a love expressed not in grand speeches, but in the humble act of becoming one of us. In the same spirit, we celebrate the countless deeds of kindness, generosity, and service that have marked this term. These actions, often quiet and unseen, are the true measure of our community’s strength and faith.
This term has been filled with moments that reflect our shared commitment to forming young women of competence, conscience, and compassion. Across the academic, extra curricular and social justice areas of school life, our students have shown that education is not only about learning but about living out the values that shape a just and loving world.
I want to express my gratitude to our dedicated staff, whose tireless work and care make this mission possible, and to you, our parents and guardians, for your trust and partnership. Together, we nurture an environment where faith and excellence walk hand in hand.
This Christmas, may we all take time to pause, reflect, and rejoice in the gift of God’s love. May the peace of Christ fill your homes and may the New Year bring hope, joy, and renewed strength for the journey ahead.
Cillian O'Riordan
Principal
