Dear Parents and Caregivers,
On behalf of the Executive Director of Catholic Education, Mr Wayne Bull, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Vince Bellini as the new Principal of Our Lady of Mercy College, effective from 1 January 2025.

He is currently serving as Acting Team Leader of School Infrastructure Capital Development for CEWA in Leederville and has previously taken on short-term Principal roles at Our Lady of Mercy College in Australind and Emmanuel Catholic College in Success.
Prior to his current role, Mr Bellini was the Vice Principal for Staffing and Ministry at Emmanuel Catholic College since 2019, where he exhibited exemplary leadership and unwavering commitment to the school community.
Throughout his career with CEWA, Mr Bellini has consistently demonstrated dedication, confidence, and capability required to positively impact the lives of students, staff, and families. He is deeply committed to the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to realise their full potential. Mr Bellini is a visible and engaging leader, leading by example and inspiring both students and staff to strive for excellence.
We are excited about Mr Bellini’s appointment and are confident that his leadership will have a transformative impact on Our Lady of Mercy College in Australind. His ability to mentor and guide others, combined with his passion for education will undoubtedly enrich every member of our College.
We extend our warmest congratulations to Mr Vince Bellini on his new role and look forward to the contributions he will bring to our school and the broader community.
