Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (19:46:12):

I congratulate Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College on its sesquicentenary, marking 150 years of educating young women in my community of the lower North Shore. Since its founding in 1875 by the Sisters of Mercy North Sydney, Monte has been a cornerstone of girls' education in our area, shaping generations of strong, compassionate and capable women. This milestone is a testament to the enduring legacy of Mother Mary Ignatius McQuoin, whose vision and determination helped lay the foundations for Catholic education in Australia. Her values continue to inspire Monte and the school's commitment to academic excellence, service and leadership. I thank Monte's principal, Mrs Nicole Christensen, for her fantastic work as a prominent figure in the North Shore's educational community and congratulate her on overseeing Monte's sesquicentenary during her tenure. I congratulate the broader Monte community, including the students, staff, teachers and alumni, on reaching this significant milestone. I was excited to join them to celebrate. I wish the school every success in the years to come. Congratulations to Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College on its 150 years.
