Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Primary School

Our teachers are the heart of our school. We know that healthy relationships and wellbeing are essential to a child’s positive learning experience.

Our staff are dedicated and caring professionals who provide a loving, supportive and collaborative learning environment. Children feel safe to learn, discover and explore their unique God-given gifts and talents.

Students develop their character and citizenship, to have a strong sense of self and a connection to the broader community.

Ensuring that children are able to thrive holistically in a secure and safe environment is our highest priority.

We want children to be excited to come to school every day, to explore their potential and engage in their learning.

Our school is a place where children can grow, belong and achieve their unique potential.

Students are given a solid and rich foundation in literacy and numeracy knowledge and skills. When they need extra help to build their confidence and understanding, our teachers provide learning support programs in Literacy and Mathematics.

Specialist programs include Science, Physical Education, Music and Auslan.

“We must strive to do ordinary things extraordinarily well.”
- Catherine McAuley, Founder of the Sisters of Mercy

We welcome both Catholic and non-Catholic families who share our values. Our school continues the work of the Sisters of Mercy by living the motto of integrity and gentleness. We also value excellence, respect, service, compassion and justice.

Our child-centred and values-focussed approach to education brings our Catholic faith to life by:

• Guiding children to understand that we are made in the likeness and image of God which unites us in our uniqueness and difference.
• Fostering an understanding that belonging and being connected to community means it is everyone’s responsibility to take care of the poor.

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