Our Lady of Mercy College Parramatta
The OLMC community held its annual OLMC Women in Leadership Forum on Wednesday, 26 May 2021. Joining our inspirational line-up of women in leadership were two alumnae - Melanie Silva (Spiteri, 1994), VP, Managing Director of Google Australia and New Zealand and Dr Natalie Galea (1991), Feminist Scholar and Olympian. These two amazing women were joined by Professor Deborah Richards and Michelle Lee. Click here to see more.
The College welcomed back Mercy Girls from the Classes of 2019 & 2020. Our newest Alumnae were treated to a VIP room where they enjoyed bubbly and canapes while catching up with classmates, some of whom had not seen each other since they left in Year 12.
The girls also enjoyed flicking through their Misericordias. For those who missed out on collecting their Misericordia, you can pick your copy up from the College Business Office via Gate 1 during school time.
There are some changes to Reunion Day! While we will still meet at the College for Mass, we will now be treated to a formal College Tour followed by High Tea at Lachlan's Restaurant, Old Government House.
All Alumnae are welcome to the annual OLMC Alumnae Reunion Day on Sunday, 12 September 2021. We especially welcome those celebrating their milestone anniversaries.

On Wednesday, 16 June, the College will be holding our first Careers Breakfast for students in Years 10-12. Several OLMC alumnae will provide different perspectives on the varied career pathways they have taken that have led them to where they are today. Whether that be through university, TAFE, college or work experiences.
The OLMC Careers Breakfast, the first in a series of events, aims to outline options available to our students so they can make informed choices about specific careers and educational opportunities. Alumnae will discuss how they decided on their tertiary education choices, career paths, experiences, useful tips and meaningful lessons they learnt along their journey.
