CEIST Charter

Catholic Education, An Irish School Trust

In March 2008, the Sisters of Mercy joined with other religious congregations to ensure that the founding traditions are protected and maintained in a new structure called CEIST.

At Mount Mercy College we treasure the core values of CEIST which support and nourish the lives of the people who are the heart of our school community, our student, our staff and our parents. These are the members of our school; their rights must be respected and their responsibilities should be performed in a manner which promotes the spiritual development of each person, achieves quality in teaching and learning, shows respect for every person, creates a sense of community and is founded on compassion and justice. These values can only be lived out if students, staff and parents work together for the common good of all.

 Aims

  • Promoting Spiritual and Human Development

    We believe a knowledge of and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ give meaning and purpose to our lives.

  • Achieving Quality in Teaching and Learning

    We are committed to excellence and to continually improving the quality of teaching and learning.

  • Showing Respect for Every Person

    We respect the unique and intrinsic value of every person.

  • Creating Community

    Our Schools are faith communities of welcome and hospitality where Gospel values are lived and where there is special care for those most in need.

  • Being Just and Responsible

    We seek to act justly and responsibly in all our relationships.
