Lifelong learning

Our college vision is grounded in gospel values and the tradition of St Mary of the Cross.

At MacKillop we strive to encourage individuals to reach their full potential as lifelong learners by providing an innovative, challenging and collaborative learning and teaching environment in a rapidly evolving society.

Our college has outstanding facilities complimented by beautifully maintained gardens, sporting fields and recreational areas. Our emphasis on contemporary learning strategies is supported by up-to-date and extensive digital infrastructure including a wireless/hard wire network in all classrooms. There is also a dedicated information and communications technology centre, which provides students and staff with a fully wireless system, specialised video and podcasting studios as well as green-screen animation workspace.

MacKillop boasts innovative and technologically rich state-of-the-art learning areas including a science wing, a 400-seat auditorium within the performing arts complex, a sports centre with gymnasium and a creative arts centre. We offer a broad and comprehensive curriculum, including support to students who experience learning difficulties. We have established successful policies that support student well-being and our unique and dedicated year 9 program fosters close links with the local community. We offer a diversity of pathways for our students by offering VCE, VCAL and VET subjects.

Next year MacKillop will introduce the SEDA partnership program in sport and recreation.

We hope to see you at our Open Day on Sunday, November 11 at 11am-2pm.
