As a community, we at Mercy Regional College are committed to the ongoing journey of reconciliation with Traditional Custodians of the Land and the wider community.
Our school aspires to build respectful, inclusive and genuine relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, strengthening community connections and excellence in learning.
We acknowledge the fundamental importance of truth telling, connecting with past and teaching about the shared histories of Australia, and creating an environment that is culturally safe for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and all that are connected to our College.
Through our everyday actions, and in the spirit of the Mercy tradition, we aspire to educate students, staff, famikies and the wider community about the histories, cultures and perspectives of the First Peoples of Australia and care for all culturally, spiritually, morally, socially, and emotionally.Â
