Mount Lilydale Mercy College (MLMC) has a proud history of shaping and enriching young lives in a nurturing environment. From its beginnings, MLMC has embodied a distinct Mercy spirit which deepens respect for each individual. This spirit lies at the heart of our College’s Catholic identity and an education at MLMC ensures students are immersed in a culture that highlights our values of compassion, justice, respect, courage, service, and hospitality. We believe these values will help guide our students to be the best version of themselves.
“It is our task to develop the God-given talents in every child who enters our College to ensure they leave us with the resilience and confidence to fulfil their potential,” Principal Mr Philip Morison said.
“We want MLMC graduates to live their best lives and be the difference in the lives of those around them.”
Recent research, based on the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey data, found that people who attended a Catholic school are likely to see lifelong benefits in employment status, general health and life satisfaction. The research also showed that Catholic school alumni are more likely to make a difference by working in an industry or roles that directly benefits the public and were more likely to donate to charitable causes.
At MLMC, students are provided with multiple opportunities to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others, whether through volunteering for Catherine’s Café, an initiative that provides free meals for our local community members, to raising funds for charitable organisations including Project Compassion, Catholic Care, the Yellow Ribbon Program and the Leukaemia Foundation. Each of these interactions enables MLMC students to experience how they can impact the lives of others and the world.
We warmly invite families to tour our College and discover how a Catholic Mercy education can be the difference for your child.
