We provide a caring educational environment where each student is known and cared for as an individual and where she feels included within the classroom and the College community.
At Mercy Catholic College, we strive for our girls to be the very best they can, and we use our school values to guide us to fulfil that pledge.
Respect – we value ourselves, and the role that our peers, teachers, parents and our environment have on shaping us become the women we want to become.
Compassion – we are empathetic and understanding of each other’s needs and background.
Integrity – we communicate with honesty and act with sincerity.
Excellence – we endeavour to do everything to our best ability.
Hospitality – we display kindness to all and are inclusive and welcoming
