From the Principal

Time to say good bye

Every year, we tell the Year 12 cohort that their last year will go by in a blink of an eye. Indeed it has and we are sad to see them go. We know that they are ready to leave, to do those final exams and cast off their MacKillop uniform and enter that next life stage. We wish them every blessing, and may St Mary of the Cross MacKillop guide them through the years.

SchoolTV - Year 12 Exam Stress

Students in their final year of school are considered a high-risk group for depression and anxiety. Sleep deprivation, diet and social media are some of the biggest issues faced by this group of teens. Therefore it is vitally important that a student's mental health is looked after as well as their physical health.

Keeping things in perspective for students and parents alike, can help prevent everyone getting overwhelmed. Although this final year is important, it is not necessarily the most important year of your child's life.

There are many strategies that students can implement to help themselves. Parents can provide support, not only emotionally, but also practically by keeping their child well-nourished and encouraging physical activity.

In this special report, parents will find useful tips to support their child during this often stressful time. We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered here and we always welcome your feedback.

If you do have any concerns about your child, please contact the College counsellor, Mary Superina for further information.

Prayer for Year 12 Students

Loving God,

As a school community
we celebrate and give thanks
for our Year 12 students.
Thank you
that each one is
unique and brimming with potential.
Thank you
for leading them in their learning,
for keeping them safe as they studied,
and for watching over them in their final exams.
We pray that they may all feel proud
and enjoy sharing their achievements
with family and friends.
May their last days at Mary MacKillop College
be a memory that burns bright within them
as they embark on life’s great adventure.

Amen.
