Melrose High School (Canberra)

Melrose High School is a government school located in the Canberra suburb of Pearce. It serves years 7 through to 10. The school's name is taken from an old property that was located in the Woden area, which in turn was named after the town called Melrose in Scotland. The school was opened on 27 January 1970 and had its 50th anniversary in 2020. Melrose High School serves 823 students (as of 2023). The school has a number of outdoor sporting facilities such as a large oval, a mountain bike track, and tennis and netball courts. It also has a synthetic soccer pitch. Buildings Melrose High School is made up of several different buildings. The main building is three storeys high and appears from above in the rough shape of an "H". The main building is adjoined by a large library. To the front of the main building is another building, dedicated only to science labs. This building has entrances at two ends, and a large corridor up the middle with the laboratories on either side. Closer to the school's oval, but still partially surrounded by the main building is the canteen. Inside is a large open area where students can stand or sit whilst eating. Along the back wall of the canteen, there are change rooms, the canteen was renovated in 2008 so as to increase the space in the building and to raise the quality of the facilities. Tables and chairs were added to the canteen as of mid-2008. Another building is the hall, which is located next to the school's main car park. The hall is a large stand-alone building containing a stage, which is used during school assemblies. In 2010, $200,000 was spent on the refurbishment of the hall. This included the installation of two data projectors and automatic screens, a new 8500 watt "cinema-like" sound reinforcement system, speakers and a lighting bar. In early 2006, a new security fence surrounding the school was installed after too many windows were broken by vandals. In 2018, the fence was expanded to encompass the school's oval. Also, a gym which is located between the main building and the tennis courts was opened on 17 May 2007. It holds two smaller Basketball courts or one full-sized court, a Futsal court as well as Volleyball and Netball facilities. The gym also contains a set of change rooms, bathrooms and a rock climbing wall. See also List of schools in the Australian Capital Territory References External links Melrose High School website

Mends Street Jetty

Mends Street Jetty is located in South Perth in Western Australia. Situated at the southern shore of the Swan River in the section known as Perth Water, the ferry service is primarily used for accessing the Perth Zoo from the Perth central business district while also being used for commuters. History It is not known when the first jetty at Mends Street was built, however, with the opening of the Perth Zoo in October 1898 it was recognised that a regular cross-river ferry service was needed. Therefore, at about that time, the existing jetty was widened to 4.6 metres (15 ft) and an existing service that ran between William Street and Queen Street Jetty was extended to Mends Street. The service was run by Joseph Charles, who operated the Queen (later Empress) and the Princess. A few months later, Charles and his partner S. W. Copley started operating the PS Duchess, a locally constructed vessel. Duchess made its inaugural run to Mends Street Jetty on 11 December 1898, and plied the route for the following 29 years. Later services included a business, the Swan River Ferry company, operated by Jack Olsen and Claes Sutton, who ran a fleet including the Valfreda Valkyrie I and II, Valhalla and the Valdhana between jetties at Point Belches near The Narrows, Mends Street and Coode Street. In 2023 the jetty was extended and modernised for better accessibility, and the extension floats on the water to match the height of the ferry entrance instead of a fixed platform. Services Mends Street Jetty is served by Transperth ferry services to Elizabeth Quay operated by Captain Cook Cruises. The jetty is also used for charter ferry services. References

It opened on 19 December 1881, with the current station provided in July 2020. Initially opened as Balcombe Road, the station was renamed two times. It was renamed to Balcombe on 1 September 1882, then was given its current name of Mentone on 7 January 1884. It is classed as a premium station, and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. History Mentone station opened on 1 September 1882, when the railway line from Caulfield was extended to Mordialloc. Like the suburb itself, the station is named after the French Riviera resort Menton. Until the 1940s, a former siding at the station existed, operating across Station Street to a timber yard. In 1959, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Balcombe Road level crossing, which was located at the up end of the station. In 1981, the goods yard was closed to traffic. In late 1984/early 1985, a number of sidings and a headshunt at the station were abolished. Also occurring in 1985, the signal box and interlocking were abolished. In December 2007, Mentone was upgraded to a Premium Station. On 20 March 2020, the station was closed from 8:15pm to allow for works to remove the three level crossings at Balcombe, Charman and Park Roads, and to build a new Mentone station. On 20 July of that year, the rebuilt station opened. The former heritage station buildings were retained as part of the project. Platforms and services Mentone has two side platforms.

Mercedes College, Perth

Mercedes College is an independent Roman Catholic single-sex secondary day school for girls, located in the Perth central business district, Western Australia. The school was founded in 1846 by the Sisters of Mercy, thus making it the oldest independent Catholic girls' school in Australia, and the oldest existing secondary school in Perth. There are currently 800 students from Year 7 to Year 12 and the college's brother school is Trinity College. The current principal is Lucie McCrory. The name Mercedes comes from the Spanish word for mercy. History The school has its beginnings in the landing at the Swan River Colony of Irish Sisters of Mercy. Led by Sister Ursula Frayne, they founded the first Catholic school in the colony on 2 February 1846 beginning their teaching with just one pupil. Classes were conducted in a rented St Georges Terrace cottage, near Victoria Avenue. By the end of the first day's teaching, the numbers had swelled to six students. Enrollment grew to 100 by the end of 1846, by which time the school had moved to permanent accommodation at Victoria Square. The first Mercy Convent in Australia was constructed in 1847 on the Victoria Square site, and remains in use today, known as "Holy Cross Convent". Two separate schools were run from the Victoria Square site. The original was known as St Joseph's School, and was a free, co-educational school. The other school run from the site was Ladies' College, opened in 1896, which did charge for tuition. It was later renamed Our Lady's College. The two schools amalgamated in 1967 to form Mercedes College. The last of the school's boarding students left in 1981. Over the years, the number of Sisters of Mercy at the site has dwindled, with the last Mercy Sister Principal of Mercedes, Sister Assisium Wright, retiring in 1996.

Mercy College, Perth

Mercy College is an independent Roman Catholic co-educational primary and high day school located in the Perth suburb of Koondoola, Western Australia. Mercy College caters for 2000 students from kindergarten to Year 12. Mercy College draws on its history as a part of the journey of the Sisters of Mercy, founded by Catherine McAuley. The school was established by the Sisters of Mercy in 1972. The college's aim is to offer a Christian and general education which will provide for the spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional and social needs of its students. The principal is Kevin Sheehy. Overview In January 1846 the first Sisters of Mercy arrived in the new colony promising to give their services to the poor, the sick and the uneducated. Within a few years they had built a convent, three schools and two orphanages - one for Aboriginal children. In 1888, the sisters established St. Brigid's School in West Perth in an area of sand, scrub and bush. By 1896 there were about 500 pupils and in 1928 there were 40 Sisters of Mercy and 600 pupils. As the city and the suburbs grew and spread the sisters from West Perth began new schools at Leederville (Aranmore), Lesmurdie (St. Brigid's), Osborne Park (St Kieran) and Wanneroo. In 1969 the West Perth Sisters decided to leave West Perth as it was now a busy commercial area, and bought land in Koondoola. Mercy College was built in 1972 for girls in the northern suburbs, and St. Brigid's transferred directly to the new Mercy College as well. The first students were all females and the first buildings are now part of the Junior Learning Centre on Mirrabooka Avenue. The school expanded rapidly from the first Year 8 - 10 classes in 1972. The primary school (Year 5) began in 1974. Mercy College is now a co-educational school spanning kindergarten to Year 12, and it enrols approximately 1,600 students and employs over 200 staff. The College is separated into two different learning areas: the Primary, catering for students from kindergarten to Year 6 and the Secondary catering for students from Years 7 to 12.

Mesa A mine

The Mesa A mine, sometimes also referred to as Waramboo mine, is an iron ore mine located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 50 km (31 mi) west of Pannawonica. The mine is owned by Robe River Iron Associates (53% Rio Tinto) and operated by Rio Tinto Iron Ore and is one of twelve iron ore mines the company operates in the Pilbara. In 2009, the combined Pilbara operations produced 202,000,000 tonnes (199,000,000 long tons; 223,000,000 short tons) of iron ore, a 15 percent increase from 2008. The Pilbara operations accounted for almost 13 percent of the world's 2009 iron ore production of 1,590,000,000 tonnes (1.56×109 long tons; 1.75×109 short tons). The Hamersley Range, where the mine is located, contains 80 percent of all identified iron ore reserves in Australia and is one of the world's major iron ore provinces. Overview Rio Tinto iron ore operations in the Pilbara began in 1966. The mine itself began operations in 2010. Operation of the mine was contracted to HWE Mining. The mine has an annual production capacity of 25,000,000 tonnes (25,000,000 long tons; 28,000,000 short tons) of iron ore, sourced from open-pit operations. The ore is processed on site before being loaded onto rail. Ore from the mine is then transported to the coast through the Hamersley & Robe River railway line, where it is loaded onto ships. The mine's workforce is on a fly-in fly-out roster. The mine is located near the Mesa J mine. The new Mesa A mine was scheduled to replace the Mesa J mine which was nearing the end of its life span. Due to additional deposits found near the existing Mesa J site, a decision was made to operate the Mesa A mine as a fly-in fly-out site. The Mesa J site could then continue to run as a residential site based in Pannawonica. After a two-year construction period and expenses of $1 billion, the mine began operation in February 2010. The mine was initially scheduled for a mine life of eleven years. But has now been extended due to an expansion for the mining of Mesa B and Mesa C deposits. Robe River Iron Associates Robe River Iron, owner of the mine, is jointly owned by: Rio Tinto – 53% – operator Mitsui & Co – 33% Nippon Steel – 10.5% Sumitomo Metal Industries – 3.5% Robe River Iron operates the West Angelas, Mesa A and Mesa J mines. Rio Tinto acquired its share of 53% in late 2000, when it took over mining company North Limited. References External links Rio Tinto Iron Ore website
