Mercedes College, is a Reception to Year 12 Catholic co-educational College in the Mercy tradition. It is one of only a few schools world-wide to offer all three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes as well as the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). In 2006 Mercedes College was granted accreditation by the Council of International Schools (CIS) which is a global organisation that accredits schools of excellence. The College remains CIS accredited. Please note the student completion data on this page only includes those students who studied the SACE in Year 12 in 2010 and omits the 29 students who completed the IB Diploma. Please visit the College's website to view a complete summary of academic results for both the SACE and IB Diploma students and a description of the full educational opportunities at Mercedes College. The College has a proud tradition of producing large numbers of graduates who have made significant contributions to their local and global communities. We enjoy a reputation for achieving academic excellence and for providing opportunities that enable our young to become life-long learners and responsible global citizens. Our aims are embodied in contemporary Catholic principles and beliefs. We value human dignity, promote the critical reflection of the society in which we live and offer opportunities to look beyond self interest and help those in need. Our guiding values are compassion, loyalty, integrity, mutual respect, justice and responsibility which we name as our Mercy Keys. Our goal is to realise the potential of all young people enrolled at the College and to educate them in a caring environment and assist them to be the best people they can be - intellectually, physically, spiritually and socially.
