It’s been a slow and staggered return to normal school life after lockdowns but last week students were all welcomed back to onsite learning.

Those in Years 7, 10 and 11 returned to school on Friday 22 October and were able to enjoy the sunshine while seeing friends and reconnecting over lunch.

Students in Years 8 and 9 at Mount Lilydale Mercy College spent there first morning back at school on Tuesday 26 October catching up with friends, while sharing breakfast together.

Teachers were overjoyed to see the faces of their students in person rather than through a screen – something they hope is behind them for good.
