OLMC is a Christ-centred learning community founded in the Mercy tradition. The policies of the College serve to promote the dignity and uniqueness of each human person.
The aim of our Mercy Values is to foster the intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical and social wellbeing of all members of the College community within a safe, healthy, caring and sustainable environment.
OLMC seeks to live out the following Mercy Values which underpin all that takes place at the College:
- Excellence: Seeking boundless knowledge for the growth of self and others.
- Compassion: Accepting the other, advocating for those in need, and embodying kindness.
- Justice: Embracing and enacting equity, fairness and dignity for all.
- Service: Answering the call to put faith in action as God's hands and feet on earth.
Excellence
"There is nothing of greater importance than the perfect discharge of our ordinary duties."
— Catherine McAuley
Excellence is the state of achievement of the highest possible standards.
Compassion
"Let charity then be our badge of honour…so that it may truly be said, there is in us but one heart and one soul in God."
—Catherine McAuley
Compassion is a non-judgmental understanding of another’s need, which results in unselfish giving to meet that need.
Justice
"Never speak with contempt of any nation, profession, or class of people…"
— Catherine McAuley
Justice is the treatment of each person with fairness in relation to the equality of all, and the maintenance of a balanced and fair relationship with self and all members of the community.
Service
"If we are humble and sincere God will finish in us the work he has begun."
— Catherine McAuley
Service is the exercising and ministry of leadership in order to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and communities.
