Terra Sancta College is a co-educational, systemic Catholic, day school located in Parramatta, a north western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Founded in 1996,^[1] the college is a school of the Diocese of Parramatta.^[3] It was founded as a result of the need identified by the local parish communities to establish a Catholic secondary school to serve the local parish communities and established Catholic primary school of Mary Immaculate.

The amalgamation of the Schofields and Nirimba campuses took place in mid 1997, allowing Terra Sancta College to provide a continuous education for Years 7 to 12.

The school completed the vast majority of its building program in 2006 and now exists as a fully functional well resourced dual campus school. It offers a very broad education that reflects the academic, social, physical and spiritual needs and interests of students.
