MERCY CATHOLIC COLLEGE, CHATSWOOD

Principal: Mr Ray Paxton

Mercy College is a Catholic Secondary School for girls located in the heart of Chatswood. Our students enjoy a strong profile in the local community as learners, thinkers, leaders, musicians, actors, artists, athletes, public speakers, volunteers and most importantly, young women of action and compassion. This is because students, staff and parents work in partnership to ensure that the right opportunities are available so that each student can fulfill her potential.

We place great importance on celebrating the achievements of our students. Our consistently excellent HSC and SC results are a reflection of our strong, supportive learning culture which challenges each student to recognize how they learn best, how to organize their resources, how to overcome learning obstacles, and how to transfer learning to new contexts.

Mercy College has a strong emphasis on academic excellence. A wide range of subjects are offered from Years 7 through to Year 12. Throughout their time at Mercy students are given expert advice around subject choices which balances personal interest with the correct progression through to university study. Students are expected to be independent and relational learners who are able to communicate what and how they are learning with ease.
