Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College

Catherine McAuley was committed to the education of women and girls. In 1875 Elizabeth McQuoin, following in the footsteps of Catherine McAuley, founded Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College under the Trusteeship of the Sisters of Mercy North Sydney.

For 150 years Monte has educated girls under the banner of the College Motto: Religio Scientia Cultus - we are shaped and directed by what we believe, what we know and what we value.

Looking to the ongoing future of the College, on February 2, 2024 in a ceremonial ritual, the Trusteeship of the College was passed from the Sisters of Mercy to Mercy Partners who will ensure the continuation of Catholic Education in the Mercy Tradition.
