Overview
McCarthy Catholic College is a co-educational Catholic high school for students in years 7 to 12. It was formed in 2000 through the amalgamation of Our Lady of the Rosary College (for years 7-10)[1] and McCarthy Catholic Senior High School (for years 11-12). For historical reasons[2] the college is named for Irish priest Father Timothy McCarthy[3] who was the first resident priest in the New England Region from 1853 to 1874 and worked for the education of children.
College logo and mission statement
