From the Principal

As a College community, we would like to wish all Mothers and Grandmothers a Happy Mother's Day for Sunday 10 May.

It was particularly delightful to welcome the girls back to school on Tuesday 28 April.

Many of them looked happy to be back at school. Learning is well underway, and although we are not able to have large gatherings or excursions, we are looking at other ways to celebrate, acknowledge and further develop our sense of community.

What does student leadership at Mary MacKillop College look like in action when the "normal" has changed?

We are a College who pride ourselves on providing meaningful leadership opportunities and development for girls. We offer formal and informal leadership opportunities through which school community and a sense of belonging is fostered for both the leaders and those they are leading.

Here, you’ll find a range of topics each published monthly with comprehensive videos from leading specialists and organisations.

Some topics include

• Eating Disorders
• Physical Activity and Exercise 
• Diet & Nutrition
• Surviving Year 12
• School Transitions
• Exam Jitters
• Gambling
• Internet Addiction
• Social Media & Digital Reputation 
• Sexting
• Cyberbullying
• Drug & Alcohol Use
• Suicide & Self-harm
• Depression
• Anxiety 

You’ll also find Fact Sheets, suggested books, apps, websites and much more. And because SchoolTV is independent, they’ve pulled in some great content from organisations such as Beyond Blue, ReachOut, HeadSpace and others.

We trust you get great value from every edition and happy, safe parenting!

Lord,

We give you thanks for the holidays which allowed us: 

A time of rest and recreation

To help restore us and re-create us in your image and likeness, 

As we enjoyed more of the love and presence of our families and friends.

Amen

We are currently awaiting information from the association in regards to possible return dates for Term 2/3 sport. Students will be notified when and if training and games are scheduled to return. Uniform orders placed during Term 1 will be available shortly. We hope that throughout this challenging time, families are remembering the importance of physical activity and incorporating exercise into their daily lives.

In this Special Report, parents and caregivers will be provided with some guidelines on how best to approach this topic whilst still ensuring the wellbeing of their child. We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this Special Report, and as always, we welcome your feedback. 

If you do have any concerns about the wellbeing of your child, please contact the College Counsellor for further information or seek medical or professional help.

Educating girls to be compassionate, knowledgeable and confident to take their place in the world.
