Christ lies at the heart of our College. We nurture our students to be authentic witnesses to Gospel values and strive to have a strong Catholic identity.

Mount Carmel College is steeped in the charism of the Sisters of Charity and all students are encouraged to be of service to the marginalised adopting the Motto of the sisters ‘The love of Christ impels us.’

Through the teaching of comprehensive Religious Education and Theology & Spirituality units, it is hoped that students will be inspired to question and wonder, search for personal meaning and bring the Gospel to all, to renew and transform the world in the spirit of Evangelisation.

Spiritual development doesn’t happen only in the context of a Religious Education or Theology & Spirituality classroom. The development of personal spirituality is fostered through classroom prayer, weekly prayer services, liturgies based around events in the life of the Catholic Church.  These opportunities for reflection allow us to step out of the routine of our daily lives to reflect on our relationships with each other, ourselves and our God.

While the opportunity to pause, reflect & focus on our own individual spirituality is important, community is at the heart of Mount Carmel College gathering as a whole school for the celebration of Eucharist is a central part of our Catholic story and our spiritual journey. Outreach groups provide continuous opportunities for students to express their faith through action, following through the work of the Sisters of Charity and their preference for the poor and marginalised.

It is our belief that we are partners with parents and carers in the faith development of our young people. We can only build on the foundations established at home and, with the positive assistance of family, lead each student towards the knowledge and love of God through Jesus Christ
