Bring Back the Graduates event, Good News Assembly, Sisters Jubilee & Winter Uniform

On Friday evening, we were delighted to host our first “Bring Back the Graduates” event. It was simply delightful to see recent graduates back at the College enjoying canapés and champagne. Most girls are studying in some form or at the very beginning of their careers. 

By Year 11 Stage 1 Tourism Student Angel

Last Thursday, Ms Ayliffe’s Year 11 Tourism class set off on an adventure to Monarto Zoo. After an hour long bus ride, we finally made it to the gates of the zoo where Ms Ayliffe spoke to the receptionist about our tour. 

On Thursday 6 April during the Good News Assembly, our new Drama Club gave its first performance. A short comedy play called ‘Mobile Phone Zombies’.

The play tells the story about a girl who goes back in time to save the world from mysterious devices that have turned their devotees into mind-numbed zombies. She does this with the help of a very special weapon; a sonic mascara! The five members of the Drama Club gave an enthusiastic performance and received lots of laughter.

For a couple of the girls it was their first time on stage. We look forward to expanding in Term 2 and working on new, exciting projects.

Girls in Years 10, 11 and 12 are strongly encouraged to purchase the new winter uniform shirt. Instructions on how to place an order via the online uniform supplier have been sent home to families earlier this week.

To ensure correct sizing, girls are welcome to see Vera at the Front Office during Term 2 to try on one of our samples before ordering online.

For further information please contact the uniform supplier, Ranier Design Group on (02) 4647 9819.

As we prepare to immerse ourselves in the Easter story of Jesus’ death and resurrection, let us pray that we are open to each other in faith.

Amen

Students from our Japanese sister school, St Capitanio visited our College this term and we delighted in their company. Buddied with Year 10 students the girls enjoyed many experiences of being a MacKillop girl.  A traditional trip to Pt Noarlunga Aquatics was a highlight along with bowling and a tram ride to Glenelg.  

Parents and friends are invited to volunteer in the canteen which is a great opportunity to broaden friendships and enhance the environment for our MacKillop girls. If you are able to join our happy crew of volunteers, by helping for a few hours, from as little as once a month to weekly or daily, our Canteen Manager Narelle Matthews would love to hear from you!

You can phone her at the College on 8333 6300 until 2.30pm or on 8263 2423 after 5pm.
