  2. As a Catholic school, our PURPOSE is inspired by the Gospel of Life. In the spirit of Jesus Christ, and faithful to the example of St Mary MacKillop, our VISION is a school community in which: children and their families are welcomed and loved students are inquisitive and happily learning learners are supported, guided, and encouraged. Our MISSION as a Catholic school is to: form confident and creative young people who value the ethic of love be a safe and welcoming community in which Gospel values characterize relationships offer the best quality pedagogy and Curriculum for creating and sharing knowledge, which is characterized by the good, the true, and the beautiful. As a community of hope of investing in the future, we embrace Christianity as the way of humanity. Desiring our students to experience they are loved and cherished, we VALUE: Catholic culture as foundational and formative A community which is family-like and inclusive A curriculum that innovates and energizes Pedagogy which individuates and engages Staff who love their students and who love their learning Leadership that is visionary and at the service of the community Facilities that are contemporary and agile. Learning and teaching – is the core activity of our school. Quality learning and teaching in Catholic schools are informed by: The educational vision, mission, policies, and strategic priorities of the Diocese of Cairns Contemporary educational research and practices The needs and the aspirations of students, their families, and the local community The knowledge and skills of teachers and support staff The requirements of Government educational policies and directions MacKillop Catholic College is committed to preparing young people for tomorrow’s world by providing an education congruent with the values of the gospels and the teachings of the Catholic Church. To realize such a system of education, we firmly believe in the kinds of adults our young people need to become, which is clearly articulated in our Diocesan Learning Framework. This document can be accessed on Catholic Education. As a member of the network of Catholic schools across Far North Queensland and supported by Cairns Catholic Education Services, MacKillop Catholic College will draw from and contribute to our shared educational resources. With the Diocesan Learning Framework as the foundation document, our College will continually refine our delivery of learning programs and continue to develop school-based curriculum plans designed to meet the needs of our student community while taking into account and being informed by the Australian Curriculum and the requirements of the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority. In proposing minimum curriculum requirements for Learning Areas within Catholic schools, it is critical to note that every curriculum area has a religious and a social, emotional dimension a capacity to assist students in examining the world of human culture and the world of religion, providing knowledge and skills through an active process, and fostering attitudes and values that are life-giving and that assist young people in searching for meaning and truth. All Queensland children are eligible to attend full-time Prep from the beginning of the school year in which they will reach the age of 5 years by 30 June. Children whose birthday is in July through to December commence Prep at the beginning of the school year after their fifth birthday. Prep is the first year of school and provides the foundation for your child’s education. It is a full-time program held in primary schools. Children attend Monday-Friday for the full school day. Prep teachers use the Foundation Year of the Australian Curriculum—to guide children’s learning. The Foundation Year in the Australian Curriculum refers to the year before Year 1. In Queensland, this is called Prep. View full school
  3. The school seeks to form students as candidates for Heaven, each one loved and respected as a unique person - indeed a child of God. To this end, we train the students to seek what is right, fair, and beautiful, educating them in an atmosphere of Catholic culture where the Catholic Faith is taught in its fulness, the life of virtue seriously pursued and academic excellence promoted as a real and great human value. Our patroness and inspiration are St Mary of the Cross, the first Australian-born canonized saint. Saint Mary MacKillop Colleges, Wagga Wagga, was founded in 2007 by Bill and Joanne Andrews as an independent school in the Catholic tradition. Bill and Joanne Andrews became increasingly concerned about the state of Catholic education, and they saw a need for a school dedicated to sound Catholic formation and solid academic teaching. The Andrews have worked to make this vision a reality. After extensive prayer and consultation with priests, religious and interested laity, Bill and Joanne realized that the venture was in accord with God'sGod's Will. Several public meetings were held to gauge public interest, and the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic and lay teachers agreed to teach in the school. Although outside the Catholic School System, the Colleges are regarded as an essential means for the spread of the Catholic Faith through the cooperation of dedicated priests, religious and lay-people. Our teachers and ancillary staff are committed to the Catholic faith and seek to adhere to the Church'sChurch's requirements. Saint Mary MacKillop Colleges desires to serve all Catholic children. To this end, the school is committed to helping all families, particularly those blessed with many children and lesser financial means. The school's further growth and development rely on the generosity of our benefactors in both monetary and prayerful support. Our benefactors are remembered in weekly Masses at school and in daily prayers. View full school
  4. Saint Mary MacKillop College Albury is an independent school with a genuinely Catholic ethos. The School motto is Verum, Pulchrum, et Bonum (Truth, Beauty, and Goodness). Catholics believe that we live in a universe created by a loving God. Everything in the cosmos bears the stamp of the Creator – it is right, beautiful, and useful. Education is about encouraging our students to develop by seeking out the truth, beauty, and goodness. This will point them, ultimately, towards the God who created them. The school was founded in 2009 and catered for years Kinder to Year 12. While the school is independent of the Catholic Diocese of Wagga Wagga, it has a strong Catholic ethos with a religious education based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and an emphasis on the lives of the saints as role models. This school has as its foundation Christ and His Revelation. Its entire motivation and final goal are to be found in the principles of the Gospel. A right school is one ordered for the authentic good of human persons. Each of our Catholic school students must be seen as a candidate for Heaven. Indeed, each must be seen as Christ in need: "Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me... Our children must feel loved as individual persons. They must be guided in the training of their freedom to seek what is right and good freely. The school must be seen as a Catholic formation place, prayer, and work (including rigorous academic labor and cultural endeavor). This will include a cultural atmosphere in which all the Christian virtues can be developed, and intellectual knowledge personally and deeply imbibed – because although academic excellence is an important and necessary goal of the school, it is not sufficient. The school's educational aim is the critical communication of the human culture and the total development of the individual, according to a specifically Christian vision of reality. Here, absolute values, including the absolute value of the individual human person, are conveyed in a life-context, stimulating the pupils to exercise their intelligence and helping them to discern real and positive cultural factors from false and destructive ones, using the teaching of Christ as their yardstick. We aim: To provide pupils with the norms and procedures for rational thought. To present them with the truth and with the methods they may use to arrive at and justify it. To teach them the critical skills needed for prudent judgment. To help them to know the teaching of the Gospel and to build it into their lives. To teach them the Christian way of life using Christ's life as their model. To discern in the universe the God whom it reveals and take from the world around them all that is good and compatible with Christianity. The specific role of the school is the Christian formation of its students. It exists to help them take on the lifelong personal conversion that Christian life entails, encourage them to give themselves to God in prayer and reception of the Sacraments, and overcome selfish individualism and grow in all the virtues. They help discover their specific vocation as how they will do God's Will and reach human fulfillment. This role is accomplished by an integration of Faith and Life, which involves: The systematic and coherent teaching of the truths of Catholic doctrine. Instruction in the principles and doctrines of Christian morality. A particular emphasis on the three theological virtues and the four cardinal virtues. Recognition and evaluation of the spiritual implications to be found in day-to-day situations. Class and school prayer – primarily liturgical prayer. Opportunities for spiritual reading and silent, personal prayer, including Eucharistic adoration. Studies of the writings and lives of the saints. We aim to help our students to realize that they are called to be living witnesses and apostles, and we give them opportunities to share their faith with others in the broader community and to giving service to the needy.

Quality learning and teaching in Catholic schools are informed by: The educational vision, mission, policies, and strategic priorities of the Diocese of Cairns Contemporary educational research and practices The needs and the aspirations of students, their families, and the local community The knowledge and skills of teachers and support staff The requirements of Government educational policies and directions MacKillop Catholic College is committed to preparing young people for tomorrow’s world by providing an education congruent with the values of the gospels and the teachings of the Catholic Church. To realize such a system of education, we firmly believe in the kinds of adults our young people need to become, which is clearly articulated in our Diocesan Learning Framework. This document can be accessed on Catholic Education. As a member of the network of Catholic schools across Far North Queensland and supported by Cairns Catholic Education Services, MacKillop Catholic College will draw from and contribute to our shared educational resources. With the Diocesan Learning Framework as the foundation document, our College will continually refine our delivery of learning programs and continue to develop school-based curriculum plans designed to meet the needs of our student community while taking into account and being informed by the Australian Curriculum and the requirements of the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority. In proposing minimum curriculum requirements for Learning Areas within Catholic schools, it is critical to note that every curriculum area has a religious and a social, emotional dimension a capacity to assist students in examining the world of human culture and the world of religion, providing knowledge and skills through an active process, and fostering attitudes and values that are life-giving and that assist young people in searching for meaning and truth. All Queensland children are eligible to attend full-time Prep from the beginning of the school year in which they will reach the age of 5 years by 30 June. Children whose birthday is in July through to December commence Prep at the beginning of the school year after their fifth birthday. Prep is the first year of school and provides the foundation for your child’s education. It is a full-time program held in primary schools. Children attend Monday-Friday for the full school day. Prep teachers use the Foundation Year of the Australian Curriculum—to guide children’s learning. The Foundation Year in the Australian Curriculum refers to the year before Year 1. In Queensland, this is called Prep.
