Our Mercy Education Values

“We must strive to do ordinary things extraordinarily well.”

- Catherine McAuley

As one of Australia’s largest urban centres, Geelong provides the perfect environment to achieve work/life balance. Famous for our big city feel without the congestion, the stunning coast line, diverse night life and food culture, Geelong is a place for everyone. Getting around is simple with easy to navigate road networks and intelligent bus networks making for a highly accessible city. Spend more time doing the things you love with sporting facilities, shopping and café precincts within arms reach across Geelong.
