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.
