About us
Irene McCormack Catholic College offers a Catholic education from Year 7 to Year 12 that is Christ centred and Student focused, and inspired by the life of Sr Irene McCormack, Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop and the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. The College is committed to providing a holistic teaching and learning program that is support by a strong and vibrant pastoral care program and that is enriched by a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities.
