OLMC Parramatta is a strong community where students and staff are resilient and recognise challenge as essential to growth.

We are confident as Mercy educators, enhancing learning and wellbeing for all students, in a diverse and inclusive community.

This year has highlighted the fundamental importance of schools as communities that protect, develop and enrich the lives of young people. OLMC Parramatta staff has responded to the need to innovate in our rapidly changing environment. This period has demonstrated how skilled our teachers are at adapting and upskilling to meet new learning challenges.

During 2020, the entire College community worked to establish and execute remote learning. This was an iterative approach; the need to continually evolve was fully embraced. In responding to student needs, we were able to provide a blend of self-paced and face-to-face learning experiences for students to learn both at home and at school.

OLMC’s Continuous Learning Program is underpinned by a focus on wellbeing, and has deepened our students’ capacity to navigate the unknown, to communicate more effectively, and to confidently use what they have learned to grow and develop as individuals and as a community.
