The 70-year legacy of Mercedes College

Mercedes College
Mercedes College is a co-educational IB world school where gorgeous green open spaces and fit-for purpose facilities provide a variety of learning spaces for Reception to Year 12 students.

With a progressive curriculum delivered through the International Baccalaureate (IB), student learning is interdisciplinary in nature, building student agency and developing creative, caring, and critical thinkers. A reputation for a strong sense of community and lived values also encourages our young students to flourish in all aspects of College life.

This year, the College celebrates 70 years of quality education on its historical campus and will open their new high-performance Arts and Sports Precinct, providing state-of-the-art spaces for learning, training, playing, performing, and coming together as a community. With a design inspired by the College’s beautiful surroundings and the grounds’ botanical nature, this highly anticipated facility will connect the school’s heritage with the future through contemporary style and functionality.
