Our VCAL students not only gained dual certificates with both school and industry awards but again received highly commended competencies for their studies.


The TopTen VCE students for 2011 were Rachael Bresnan, Courtney Chapman, Vanessa Ciccotelli, Sean Clarke, Hans Dharma, Elisha Donkin, Tegan Evans, Georgia Farquer, Courtney Morley and Jacqueline Wright. The Top VCAL student was Tristan Denby.


The College also acknowledged ten students who were nominated for the Catherine McAuley Award, an award presented to the Year 12 Student of the Year. The criteria for the award includes academic effort, academic excellence, participation in a variety of co-curricular activities, commitment to social justice, leadership and general commitment to the College and the spirit of Catherine McAuley.


Congratulations to Vanessa Ciccotelli, Dux of the College and winner of the prestigious Catherine McAuley Award.

 

MOUNT LILYDALE MERCY COLLEGE OLD COLLEGIANS' ASSOCIATION

 

Mount Lilydale Mercy College Old Collegians’ Association is holding a fund-raising Gala Dinner on Saturday 2 June in Centennial Hall. The Mercy Honour Roll will be launched at the Dinner. The purpose of the Mercy Honour Roll is to acknowledge inspiring Alumni who have achieved success in a recognised field and who would serve as role models for future Mount Lilydale Mercy College Students. It is hoped that funds from the evening will finance a scholarship.

The Committee is asking members of the wider College community who may be in business if they would consider donating an item for the Silent Auction. If you can support this venture, kindly contact Patricia Olson at the College, email olsont@mlmclilydale.catholic.edu.au

 

Past students may wish to make up tables for the event and bookings can be made through www.trybooking.com.au, by searching MLMC.


 

Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Mount Lilydale Mercy College. I trust that your visit to our Web Page will provide you with some information about how we attempt to provide a quality Catholic Education in the Mercy tradition. In our 116th year of educating young women and men in this tradition, we are proud of our achievements and strive to deliver a contemporary and relevant education.

 

In recent years we have implemented a building programme to provide facilities of which our students can be proud. They and their teachers deserve the best facilities we and their parents can provide. The buildings are designed with the students in mind, the brief always being to enhance their spirituality, their learning and their sense of belonging to a community.

 

A key feature of the College is the gospel value of Hospitality. We believe that each person is created in the image and likeness of God and as such should always be welcomed into our presence. This value was one that was very important to Catherine McAuley who founded the Sisters of Mercy in 1831. She cared for others and we try to follow in her footsteps in the way we care for all members of our community, for those who visit us and for those in need. Catherine knew that a holistic education is life-giving and develops persons of integrity. Our education prepares young people to live life to the full and to make a difference in an ever changing world.

 

Mount Lilydale Mercy College is a joyful community that is known for its caring and supportive environment. Our community focus helps students to connect with their school with positive relationships permeating all of their interactions.

 

The College provides a comprehensive curriculum that caters for all pathways from strongly academic to vocational education studies. The curriculum incorporates a Religious Education programme delivered across the year levels, integral to the faith life of the community, and a Pastoral Care programme which provides for the delivery of life skills and the nurturing of the individual. An extensive co-curricular programme enables the students to actively participate in cultural and sporting activities.

 

Mount Lilydale Mercy College is proud of its staff. They are well qualified and invest energy in continuing to develop their expertise in order to deliver a challenging and innovative curriculum. Most importantly, they care for our students.
