Our community of volunteers enrich the lives of our students by sharing their time, skills, knowledge and energy with our students.

A wonderful demonstration of our Mercy values, volunteering at Mercedes College can take many forms, and all are very rewarding and greatly appreciated.

We welcome families, past parents, Old Scholars and past students to be involved in a wide range of activities, including:

  • Coach a sports team
  • Mentor a student
  • Support learning experiences and excursions
  • Assist at community events
  • Help support our Second Hand Uniform Shop
  • Lend expertise to our Mimili Trek crew
