This week, we honour the Feast Day of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop. Mary was the co-founder of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart, who fought for the poor and marginalised in colonial Australia.
At MacKillop, we try to live our lives in the way of Mary MacKillop – our MacKillop Way. We want our students to know the importance of helping those in need and standing up for what is right. Mary’s story and charism inspire us to be our best learner and our best person – to respect, support and help all those who cross our paths.
Our Feast Day will culminate in a liturgy on Thursday, 08 August during which we will recognise those staff and students in our community who ‘treat others fairly and are inclusive and respectful in their interaction with other students and staff, contributing to the community spirit of the College’.
