As a College with a Mercy charism, St John Fisher College draws inspiration from the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, Catherine McAuley who recognised the needs of those who were marginalised in society, and with qualities of compassion, and a strong sense of giving, was a strong advocate for young women.

Student spirituality and faith formation is developed through pastoral care groups, reflection days, retreats and camps tailored to each year level. These experiences provide opportunities for students to reflect on their personal growth and make positive choices in life, both at the College and outside the learning environment. ​
