Our history

St Oliver's school was established by the Sisters of Mercy in 1930 and began its life sharing the single storey building that served as the parish Church.

During the 1930s, classrooms above the Church were built and over the next 30 years, additional classes were held in the neighbouring Mercy Convent, which included a library. The school was run by the Sisters of Mercy until 1975 when the first lay principal was appointed.

In 1976, Blessed Oliver Plunkett was canonised and the school and parish became known as St Oliver's. In 1977, a new two-storey structure was built for the school, providing classrooms, a library, music room, canteen and office area.

Over the years, the school has continued to upgrade and add to its facilities to better serve its thriving learning community. Harris Park is home to many cultures and the school itself has representatives from around 29 different nationalities, bringing to our community a diversity and cultural richness that we celebrate.

St Oliver's Harris Park continues to provide quality Catholic education based on Mercy values and celebrates its multicultural community, which is articulated in the school motto - Unity in Diversity.
