Principal's Message


The principal aim of McCarthy Catholic College is to provide an excellent education in the Catholic tradition for the young men and women of the Tamworth region in order to prepare them holistically for positive adult life. The McCarthy community is a dynamic one, built on rich partnerships with parishes, families and the broader community. School life is abundant with activity in and out of the classroom, with a broad range of extra and co-curricula activities available to students. The motto; ‘Receive, Worship and Serve’; provides a solid foundation for life at school and beyond.
