Boundary Road Senior Years Campus
Topping Out Ceremony
On Tuesday 17 February, the College community marked the ‘topping out’ of the Senior Years Campus on Boundary Road. This milestone represents a significant step in the delivery of the College’s expanded Senior Years offering and the continued development of our facilities to support students into the future. The ceremony acknowledged the collaboration and expertise of the many partners involved in bringing the project to this stage. Excerpts from College Principal Mary Farah’s address are shared below.
As we look up at this structure, we see more than just steel, concrete, and glass. We see an extended chapter of Mercy Education in North Melbourne.
This would not be possible without the people who were instrumental in delivering this project
