From the Principal

Last week was a very special week as Ms Steele and I were fortunate enough to interview the students who applied to be our 2019 College Captains. The applications were well researched and beautifully written. I commented on how the standard was better than many applications I have received for employment positions.

From the Deputy Principal

This morning, three significant events took place simultaneously; Year 5 girls arrived from neighbouring schools for our Come ‘n’ Try MacKillop Day; the Year 10 and 11 students gathered in the gym to hear Prefect speeches; and the Year 12 students gathered for the Principal’s Breakfast. Each event marks a significant time in the life of a MacKillop girl.

2019 College Captain and Prefect Speeches - A Snapshot!

"Throughout my four years at the College, I have observed the previous and current leaders with great admiration, whilst being inspired to commit to the College and demonstrate the values and morals of compassion and service; the values that Mary MacKillop has passed onto us. I believe that every MacKillop girl should have an equal voice, experience the same opportunities and gain their own confidence to believe in themselves and thrive tremendously.  My aim is to create cohesion and respect throughout all year levels and to promote this culture of inclusiveness to our new Year 7 cohort, so they too can build confidence".

Opening Prayer

Let us pray,

Happy are the peacemakers;
they shall be called the children of God.
“For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.”
(1 Corinthians 14:33)
God is the source of peace
and He empowers us to be bearers of peace.
We show ourselves to be children of God
when we actively work to reconcile with others,
bring together adversaries,
and work in harmony with one another.
Blessed are the ones who demand equality
for all humans and do not argue and fight.

Amen.
