Mercy College operates on a five period a day, 10 day timetable cycle.  This format ensures that all subjects receive balanced contact time and allows for a more flexible approach to learning opportunities.

The school day is arranged so that all students attend a 24 minute Wellbeing session after recess. This allows for communication of relevant information and development of a relationship between each student, their peers and their  Wellbeing teacher. The Wellbeing session reflects our commitment to nurturing the whole student, supporting emotional growth and spiritual development alongside academic learning. The day is organised into five teaching lessons as detailed below:
