From the Principal

No matter how long you have been a teacher and how many Year 12 events that you attend everyone would agree that the last Mass and Assembly for our year 12 students is a very emotional time. We know that it is time for our Year 12s to fly away from the MacKillop nest.  They have completed all of those assignments, emptied their lockers and are now in preparation for final examinations.

From the Deputy Principal

It is our hope that each MacKillop girl grows in confidence and conviction over the five years they are in our care. This is achieved, because the girls are offered opportunities, in and out of the classroom to learn new skills, take risks, ask questions and voice their ideas. Confidence and conviction are two qualities held by successful leaders.

Opening Prayer

Year 12 Prayer

Loving God
We pray for our Year 12 students as they prepare to complete their secondary school journey.
Be with them as they prepare for their final exams.
Thank you for the many talents and gifts you have given them and for the opportunity of an education at Mary MacKillop College.
Help them to use their knowledge wisely and to find a way to make the world a better place,
And make life with its problems a little bit easier to face.
Grant them faith and courage and put purpose in their days,
And show them how to serve in effective ways.
So their education, their knowledge and their skillMay find their true fulfillment as they learn to do your will.,
That knowledge comes from learning,
and wisdom comes from You.
Holy Spirit, be present with them today and always
In Jesus' name

Amen
