The Parents' Association is an integral part of the OLMC Community. All College parents are members are welcome to attend meetings and join the Committee.
The Parents' Association of OLMC provides opportunities to the College community to work together in the following areas - Fundraising, Hospitality, Community Spirit and Support. A major objective of the Parents’ Association is to raise funds for various College initiatives and facilities. In recent years, fundraising efforts have resulted in the purchase of a 12-seater bus, furniture for classrooms, bicycles for the PE Department and, in 2012, OLMC banners for the school band and equipment for the Sports Science Laboratory. Fundraising activities have included:
• Trivia Nights

Another primary objective includes providing parents with opportunities to get to know one another, also, enabling families to become more involved with the education of their daughters.
Hospitality
The Parents Association also provides hospitality for the College's various information and social functions including:
• Opening Mass for Year 7 and Welcome Barbeque for New Families
