Foundation principal Scott Donohoe said about 270 enrolment packs were distributed, with applications for year seven and eight due by the end of this term.
"The crowd turnout exceeded our expectations," Mr Donohoe said. "There was high energy in the room."
The school unveiled its uniforms; motto, United in Mercy; and its visual identity, a Mercy Cross within concentric circles. Dotted lines depict a meeting place and links to the Worimi people.
Mr Donohoe said stage one of construction was on track to be completed before next January.
He said the college would now move to meeting with prospective families, establishing parent focus groups and hiring staff.
