Our College motto is Fortes in Fide (strong in faith), and this epitomises our educational approach.
As a Catholic school and in the charism of the Sisters of Charity we are proud and celebrate the Catholic tradition to which we belong and emphasise the gospel values of love, integrity, respect, commitment, forgiveness, hope and compassion.
There is a place for all at Mount Carmel – whether they be believers, searchers, or non-believers – and the Primary Religious Education and Secondary Theology & Spirituality programs accommodate this range of perspectives and backgrounds. These programs are devised in response to the Good News for Living framework, a living document that grapples with ‘mystery, life, faith and love’.
In discerning their own faith response, students are encouraged to appreciate and respect the beliefs and expressions of faith of others.
In a world of constant and rapid change, where it sometimes seems the ground is shifting all the time, the gospel values provide a guide for life when exploring “matters of profound importance.”
College Crest

Our crest represents our school’s values, spirit, and shared identity. It has significant symbolism.
The cross is symbolic of our Christian faith, and the crown of eternal life.
At the centre of the Crest is the College coat of arms, with the patronage of Our Lady of Mount Carmel represented by the seven stars above the Mount Carmel College logo.
Under the coat of arms is a scroll with the College motto “Fortes in Fide” which means strong in faith.
