Our Future
The Mercedes College Future Plan for 2016 - 2019 was developed in collaboration with the College community. The College's Vision remains aligned with three words - Aspire, Excel and Lead and is fully integrated with the Catholic Education's LEAD framework for strategic planning and Quality Catholic Schooling components.

Living these values is at the very heart of our Community as we strive to live each day in the spirit and footsteps of Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, and Ursula Frayne, who led the first group of pioneer Sisters to Victoria Square in 1846.
