Mercy Catholic College in Chatswood is an excellent school that has good pastoral care and supports girls in their learning, sporting and co-curricular activities. There are a lot of programs for girls to get involved in and to help them achieve the most from their education.
My daughter is in year 8 at Mercy Catholic College and I am so pleased that we chose to send her there. The staff not only care about the girls’ academic outcomes, but they also make a lot of effort to care for and support their wellbeing. My daughter’s head of year is excellent. He genuinely cares about the outcomes for all the girls and he really sees the benefit of a building a positive home/school relationship. There are many other teachers I could credit also. I have heard many parents say that when they visited Mercy Catholic College, the manner and behaviour of the girls really attracted them to the school and I have to agree with this.
Mercy Catholic College is a positive and caring environment for girls to learn, make friends and grow. Girls are supported in their educational goals and the wide variety of extra activities they can be involved in creates a wonderful community. The regular social justice activities available and the commitment to the Catholic faith ensures the girls graduate with a strong sense of purpose and a commitment to look after those less fortunate than themselves.
