📢 Canteen Update📢
As you will have heard during our induction assemblies, we are changing our canteen payments to a fully cashless service. This means parents/carers will need to use ParentPay to add money to their child’s account. In order to do this you will need a unique activation code which was sent out this week. Year 11 and Year 9 parents will receive theirs via post.
For pupils entitled to Free School Meals, the balance will be added to their account via the same system and they will need to register also.
❗️We are aware there are issues adding money to all accounts at the moment and are working hard to resolve this❗️

📸 What a fantastic day! 🎉
Mercy College Belfast was delighted to celebrate the creativity, dedication and talent of our pupils through this year’s Art and Design Exhibition, showcasing outstanding work from Year 8 to Year 14.
The exhibition featured an exciting range of artwork, including ceramics, printmaking, textiles, 3D design, and highly skilled observational drawings and technical studies. Each piece reflects the hard work, imagination and artistic development of our pupils throughout the year, highlighting both their growing confidence and their unique creative voices.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to staff who came to view the work and to our parents and families for their continued support of our young artists, A special thank you also goes to our local companies who kindly supported our pupils by supplying materials for the exhibition. Most importantly, we congratulate the pupils whose enthusiasm, perseverance and talent have made this exhibition possible. Their willingness to explore new techniques, challenge themselves creatively and dedicate countless hours to their work is something to be truly proud of.
We hope you enjoyed viewing this wonderful collection of artwork and thank you for joining us in celebrating the achievements of our talented young artists at Mercy College, Belfast.

Outstanding!!
Well done
📚 Keep reading this summer!
Research shows that reading 4–6 books over the summer can help teenagers maintain their reading age and return to school ready to learn. Just 15–20 minutes of reading each day can make a big difference! 📚☀️
