Villa Maria College is a state integrated<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 />
