Vision, Values & Mission - About Us - Our College

Mercy College is a community whose members work in partnership towards the education of young people. With Christ as our guiding light and in the spirit of Catherine McAuley, we seek to recognise, appreciate and develop the gifts of all in a spirit of collaboration, love and service.

The College is committed to creating a climate where students can develop a love of learning. Our students are encouraged to be self-aware, tolerant, compassionate towards others and independent in thought and action, by contributing to the world in which they live and by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

"The Glory of God is a person fully alive"

Values

Charged with the ministry of our vision statement above, the College is committed to the following core values.


Mercy - We believe in God's mercy and compassion toward each person, and in God's presence in each of us.

Human Dignity - We believe that each person is created by God, and is to be respected as unique. Differences among people are to be valued and respected.

Courage - We believe in the courage shown by the Sisters of Mercy in overcoming prejudice, difficulties and the unknown.

 

Justice - We believe in creating a society which assures justice, fosters the common good and provides access to all community services, especially education.

Love and Service - We believe in God's love for us, and in our need to demonstrate that belief by our love for others in an active way, especially to the marginalised and poor.

Our Lady of Mercy, Mother of Jesus and our Mother,
we ask you to bless and guide our College.
Show your loving care to all members of the College community:
the staff, the students and their families.
May your love and compassion, your faith and obedience to God
inspire us to follow your example.

Amen.
