Mercy Honour Roll Program


The MLMC Mercy Honour Roll began in 2012 as initiative of the Old Collegians' Association. The purpose of the Mercy Honour Roll is to acknowledge exceptional alumni who have achieved success in a recognised field and who would serve as inspiring role models for our current and future students. Since its inception, 28 outstanding alumni have been inducted in to the Honour Roll. Each year we select two or three people to be inducted into the Honour Roll, which takes place at our Alumni Gala held at the College each October.
