Our mission statement - Rigorous Minds - Compassionate Hearts - means we are very much about shaping content and character as we normalise striving for excellence in life at school and beyond. We want to assist students to reach their first-choice University, TAFE or apprenticeship aspirations when they graduate. The earlier that process starts, the better.
Mandurah Catholic College is a K-12 Catholic school with approximately 1700

The College is a learning community seeking truth by living out the Gospel values through the Catholic faith and by promoting the holistic and optimal development of each person.
