Mount Lilydale Mercy College (commonly known as Mount Lilydale or MLMC) is a Catholic co-educational College in Lilydale, Victoria, Australia which caters for the need of approximately 1500 students from the Yarra Valley and outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The school was conducted by the Sisters of Mercy since 1896.

History

In June 1881, the Convent at Mansfield was established - descended from Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary. From that foundation, a branch-house was opened at Lilydale in 1888. Lilydale, a struggling rural area, was chosen by Archbishop Carr as Mansfield’s first convent offshoot. When the Sisters arrived in January, 1896, neither convent nor school had been prepared for them, but the local Parish Priest vacated his presbytery and, for the first four months, school was carried on in the basement of that building. It then moved into the presbytery itself for nine years. In 1975, Mount Lilydale became a co-educational school after serving as a school for young ladies since its foundation.
