Guiding Principles

From the Principal

Educators are privileged to guide young people in their learning, personal development, and growth as they develop into creative and critical thinkers who are emotionally and socially aware.

At Mercedes College we are fortunate to attract and retain quality teachers with high expectations, providing high levels of support. This is visible across our campus, from the kind word encouraging a student working their way through their first reader, to guiding our Year 12 students during the school holidays as they prepare for end of year assessments and exams.

Across our Reception to Year 12 campus there is always something interesting going on, a hive of activity in our classrooms, as well as community service, art exhibitions, music recitals, theatrical performances, sporting competitions and carnivals.

Now well into implementing our Strategic Plan 2021–2025, with a common direction, defined ambition and alignment of effort underpinned by our Master Plan and 10-year Financial Plan, we are investing in technology, facilities and future capability, and building on the excellence that is synonymous with Mercedes College.
