Luci Quinn has been appointed the new chief executive officer of Mercy Education, leading 13 colleges across South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia from October 5.
In a statement released yesterday, Mercy Education Limited said Ms Quinn is “exceptionally well-placed to lead and influence Catholic education as a system leader”.
“She commenced her teaching career in 1990 and brings extensive experience as a principal and system leader in Catholic education,” the statement read.
“Since 2019, she has been the principal of Clonard College in Geelong, a Catholic girls’ college with nearly 1000 students.
“Ms Quinn has a deep commitment to the mission of Catholic education in Australia and is a highly regarded Catholic education leader with exceptional credentials in culture building, governance, Catholic identity and school renewal.”
As chief executive officer, Ms Quinn will lead the executive of Mercy Education in supporting the board’s governance and work closely with the principals of Mercy Education’s 13 colleges across South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia to continue to provide high-quality, faith-led education, inspired by the charism of Catherine McAuley.
Audrey Brown, board chair of Mercy Education Limited, welcomed the appointment.
“Luci’s witness as a Catholic education leader grounded in mission and service along with her rich experience as both a principal and system leader committed to continuous school improvement will be valued by the Mercy Education community,” Ms Brown said.
