Our Lady of Mercy offers a nurturing, values-focussed education with high-quality teaching and exceptional English language support, helping every child feel secure, learn with confidence, and grow in faith and friendship.

Caring and compassionate support

Our caring and compassionate staff are the heart of our school. They help children feel secure, learn well, and grow in faith, friendship and understanding.

A focus on values and behaviour

Teaching Christian values helps children to respect others, make good choices, and grow in faith to be good citizens who contribute positively to society.

High quality teaching and learning

Structured lessons help children to learn step by step, understand concepts clearly, and feel confident in reading, writing, maths and other subjects.

Exceptional English language program

Supporting multilingual children from multicultural families to master English lays the foundation for their learning, social inclusion, and full participation in school life.

At Our Lady of Mercy we value excellence, respect, service, compassion and justice.

Committed to a values-focussed education for over 50 years.

“Integrity and Gentleness”

OUR MOTTO

Our school spirit

Integrity and gentleness

We warmly welcome both Catholic and non-Catholic families who share our values. Since 1975, our school has continued the legacy of the Sisters of Mercy, guided by their motto of integrity and gentleness. Inspired by the vision of Catherine McAuley, who founded the Sisters of Mercy in 1831, we are dedicated to nurturing children through education and compassionate care. Our school values - excellence, respect, service, compassion and justice - are lived out each day in the relationships and interactions between staff, students and parents.

Students receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation through Our Lady of Mercy parish.
