The Mercy Regional College community acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we educate our students. We honour and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. We commit ourselves to walk alongside all Aboriginal people in the quest for justice, reconciliation and recognition through the transforming power of education.

The curriculum at Mercy Regional College is designed to cultivate in our students understanding and respect for our shared history inclusive of the traditional owners of the land on which they learn.

Our Year 8 students participate in the Kimberley Immersion Program at the Clontarf Academy, Kununurra. The program heightens students’ awareness and appreciation of Aboriginal culture. Through this experience, young people are given the opportunity to grow relationships and engage with an Indigenous Australian community in a unique area of far north Western Australia.

All Year 9 and 10 students have the opportunity to experience our Indigenous culture through a Central Australia Immersion trip. Students gain a deeper understanding of the Australian culture and identity through stories of the past. They see life from a different perspective and become more engaged, thoughtful and inclusive citizens of our country.
