Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College

Guided by the charism of the Sisters of Mercy, the College is committed to the values of Mercy, Justice, Service, Human Dignity, and Option for the Poor. These values are integrated into all curricular and co-curricular activities to inspire students to act with courage, compassion, and social responsibility. The College motto, Religio, Scientia, Cultus, reflects a philosophy shaped by faith, knowledge, and values.

The College offers a dual academic program, allowing students to pursue either the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. The curriculum is supported by a range of specialist facilities, including those for Visual Arts, Design and Technology, and Hospitality. The academic structure is designed to prepare students for higher education and careers, with a focus on fostering independent learning and academic excellence.

The College provides an enhancement and support program to assist students in their academic journey. Specific details regarding the nature of these support services are managed through the College's academic structure.

The College welcomes applications for girls from a variety of primary schools and does not require entrance examinations or interviews.

A non-refundable $750 acceptance fee is required to secure a place on the confirmed class list, followed by a $2,500 confirmation fee two years prior to the commencement date.
