Guided by our values of courage, compassion, integrity, hospitality, respect and wisdom, we foster a strong sense of community, social justice and connectedness.Each student is known by name, by her peers and teachers, building a sense of belonging.
Blending a mix of heritage listed buildings and modern additions, our campus overlooks the Bremer River at Woodend in Ipswich. Students’ learning is enhanced with state-of-the-art learning spaces and technologies including an i-Centre, sports hall, theatrette, commercial grade kitchens and dedicated visual art, drama, music and dance studios.
Mercy Education is holistic in nature. Working in partnership with parents, each young woman is challenged and encouraged to be the best that she can be.
At a personal, intellectual, physical and ethical level, she is positioned to be a graduate who is confident, reflective and passionate.
