Mount Carmel College is a Catholic secondary school located in Rosewater, South Australia. Established in 1927 by the Marist Brothers, it was an all-boys school until December 1966. In February 1967 the Sisters of St Joseph transferred the all-girls school from the Pennington Terrace School to the present site of Mount Carmel College and in 1983 the school became a co-educational institution.
