Villa Maria College is a state integrated<br />
Catholic secondary school for girls<br />
in Years 7 – 13. The foundation for<br />
everything we do is our Catholic faith,<br />
which we express through our Mercy<br />
charism. Villa Maria College offers<br />
spiritual formation and pastoral care<br />
in the tradition of Catherine McAuley,<br />
the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, who<br />
established the College in 1918.<br />
Our Mission is to: “Empower each<br />
young woman to determine her potential,<br />
live Gospel values, confidently embrace<br />
life-long learning and as a Mercy woman<br />
be inspired to make a difference”.<br />
We have a proud academic history,<br />
annually achieving academic results,<br />
which are among the best in the<br />
country. Girls are encouraged to stretch<br />
themselves and work towards individual<br />
goals, so they fulfil their potential. A<br />
good education has balance, and our<br />
strong academic programme is combined<br />
with varied co-curricular activities,<br />
encompassing sport, cultural and musical<br />
programmes.<br />
