Located in the city of Armidale, New South Wales, Australia, O’Connor Catholic College is a co-educational secondary school.

The school offers places to around 550 students aged 11-18, and is able to offer a wide range of modern teaching and recreational facilities. A school following an Australian curriculum, O’Connor offers a wide range of subjects for learners of all abilities and backgrounds, including mandatory French in their younger years at school.
