OLMC Virtual College Tours

In light of the current advice regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus), onsite tours of the College are currently not an option.

We are mindful that families need to make informed decisions concerning their daughter’s secondary education, and that School Tours provide insights that are difficult to access in any other way. So in lieu of an onsite tour, OLMC has developed a virtual tour session via Zoom.

The virtual tour will include the following:

•   A guided tour of the College grounds

•   A pre-recorded presentation and interaction involving the College Principal, the Transition Coordinator and two students

•   A Live Q&A session with the College Principal and the Transition Coordinator.

Please note that the College hopes to resume normal daytime and twilight tours in Terms 3 and 4 if it is safe and permissible to do so under government regulations.
