O'Connor Catholic High School, now known as O'Connor Catholic College is a Catholic School in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia.
O’Connor Catholic College is a co-educational high school, from Years 7 to 12, and a systemic school in the Diocese of Armidale. It began in 1975 with the amalgamation of two of Armidale’s longest established schools - St Ursula’s College (est. 1882) and De La Salle College (est. 1906). The school occupies the site of the former De La Salle College.
The college takes its name from Bishop O’Connor, Bishop of Armidale from 1904 - 1930. His contribution to Catholic education in the Diocese during this time was outstanding.
O’Connor has as its motto the quote from St Paul’s letter to the Galatians, The Fruit of the Spirit is Love.
Famous quotes containing the words high school, catholic, high and/or school:
“When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Here’s a voice: “Come, follow me.” My idea of a calling now is not: “Come.” It’s like what I’m doing right now, not what I’m going to be. Life is a calling.”
—Rebecca Sweeney (b. 1938)
“In fact what America expects of its citizens and what the Catholic Church expects of the faithful are sometimes so different that they lead to an enormous ker-KLUNK between democracy and theology.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“I cannot remember things I once read
A few friends, but they are in cities.
Drinking cold snow-water from a tin cup
Looking down for miles
Through high still air.”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
“A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired, but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.”
—Barbra Streisand (b. 1942)
