Mount Lilydale Mercy College encourages its students to strive to be their best and give their best.
As one of the leading providers of Catholic Education in the Yarra Valley and outer eastern suburbs, the College teaches in a progressive but faith-based way to inspire students to help make the world a better place.
The College offers a range of educational pathways as well as winemaking and agricultural programs, a Learning Enhancement and Acceleration Program (LEAP), Literacy and Numeracy intervention programs in Years 7–10 and a proud history in the Eastern Independent Schools Melbourne (EISM) interschool sports competition.
At senior level, there is one Victorian Certificate of Education with three streams. Most students study VCE Stream 1, while others may choose a VCE-Vocational Major and Vocational Education and Training (VET) subjects within their VCE course plan. We offer 40 VCE Units 3/4 and nine VET subjects and we are also part of the Yarra Valley VET Cluster of schools, offering VET programs via other schools in the region.
Students studying a VCE-Vocational Major (formerly known as the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning) focus on building their skills in teamwork, planning and organisation, problem solving and communication, as well as their literacy and numeracy skills.
Their online Pathway Portal is designed to give students the opportunity to take on greater responsibility in making decisions as they develop an academic pathway that will best cultivate their passion, skills and capabilities.
Students can also participate in a range of cocurricular activities including a Young Farmers’ Club, debating and chess teams, bands and music ensembles, choirs, Tournament of Minds, STEM Club and the College Musical, as well as camps and pilgrimages interstate and overseas.
Families are warmly invited to come along to the Open Day on Monday 27 March, from 4.30-7pm, to experience a friendly and engaging evening of displays, tours and hands-on activities to discover all that Mount Lilydale Mercy College has to offer.
Staff and students will be available to answer questions from prospective students and families, allowing you to discover how your child can thrive at MLMC.
