Learning Excellence at OLMC
OLMC has a long history of providing quality, contemporary education to young women. The College’s founding Sisters worked tirelessly to provide the best possible educational opportunities, encouraging students to strive for academic excellence; since its inception, OLMC has continued to be a leading school in Parramatta, providing innovative teaching and learning experiences for the community and beyond.
An understanding of the dynamic nature of learning is intrinsic to supporting contemporary curriculum, assessment and pedagogy at OLMC. OLMC ensures that innovative teaching and learning enables meaningful delivery of the curriculum through program development that is contemporary, differentiated, student-centered and focuses on how girls learn best. OLMC’s consistently strong performance in the NAPLAN tests and in the Higher School Certificate reflect our commitment to growth.

Music Excellence at OLMC
The College has a strong music tradition and a reputation for excellence in both ensemble and individual performance.
The College boasts a dedicated music centre, the Christina Creede Music Centre, which features purpose-built practice rooms as well as medium and large ensemble spaces.
Students can choose to receive private tuition from fully qualified professional musicians in a range of instruments.
As a welcoming community, we value the pursuit of excellence and the development of each individual as a learner, leader and teacher.
The College’s founding Sisters arrived in Parramatta from Callan, Ireland in 1888, determined to provide young women with new opportunities, including the chance for further education. The Sisters worked tirelessly to establish the foundations for what has become a leading independent school in the heart of Western Sydney.
Our vision is to provide a contemporary Mercy Education that empowers young women to lead with courage and act justly, making a difference in whatever sphere of life they choose to move, in the spirit of the Sisters of Mercy Foundress, Venerable Catherine McAuley.
Education at OLMC is a faith-filled experience: students are encouraged to explore the Catholic faith and to maturely engage with their spirituality. A Mercy Education is committed to a deeper engagement with the mission of the Catholic Church through liturgical celebration, prayer, reflection and opportunities for formation, leadership and involvement in ministry through practical Works of Mercy.
In addition to excellence in education, we are known for our focus on dignity and respect, as well as our strong sense of justice and social responsibility. A Mercy Education develops faith in Jesus Christ which finds expression in reaching out with compassion to welcome the ‘stranger’, the marginalised, and those in need. The College equips young women to be ambassadors of Mercy who embrace their role in society with confidence.
Our community of learners, leaders, teachers is inspired to expand beyond what they know they can be in both their personal and social spheres, in the pursuit of excellence.
