We’re a leading Catholic independent girls’ school founded on the Mercy charism
Announcement from the Sisters of Mercy Parramatta
In late July 2021, it was announced that the Sisters of Mercy of the Parramatta Congregation have unanimously chosen Mercy Partners to protect the custodianship and continuity of OLMC into the future. Here below is the announcement from Sister Mary Louise Petro, Congregation Leader of the Sisters of Mercy Parramatta, Ms Kerrie Walshaw, OLMC Board Chair and Ms Lucie Farrugia, Principal OLMC Parramatta:
"Passing the significant 130-year anniversary milestone caused the Sisters to reflect on the next 130 years – how to capture the current strengths of the College and the Mercy tradition, and match that with contemporary, well-resourced governance into a future beyond the Sisters themselves."

Strategic Vision 2021-2025
The OLMC 2021 -2025 Strategic Vision focusses on who we are, what we value and who we are becoming.
As a dynamic learning community we are committed to our Catholic faith and our Mercy charism. Accordingly, we value excellence in all that we do and strive to become as a Mercy community.
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.
