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.
