Around the College

Year 12 Youth Ministry is supporting the Vinnie’s Christmas Appeal and invites you to participate. We are collecting items for those in our community who are less fortunate. You can donate items such as toys, non-perishable foods, personal care items, cleaning products, and decorations. There will be a basket near each year level coordinator's office, and you can donate items from the 24th of November until the 4th of December. Dear Students, Families, and Staff,

Thank you.

Olivia Jacobs

Congratulations to Olivia Jacobs (Year 9), who is currently in Spain to play soccer with the Female First Football Academy (FFFA) in the Salou Surf Cup. She was selected as a Goalkeeper. 

The Surf Cup International is a high-profile youth football tournament held at the sports complex in Salou. It brings together youth teams and academies worldwide — boys’ and girls’ — across multiple age categories, offering competition in 11v11 formats on top-tier pitches. 

For Female First Football Academy, the Surf Cup represents an opportunity for its players to “test themselves against the best in the world.”

Well done to Olivia, supported by her parents, on this achievement.

Oscar McGeachin

Well done Oscar!

Friends With Dignity - VCE Cocational major Fundraiser

On Wednesday, 26 November, our Mackillop community united to support victims of domestic violence by turning purple for the day. 

The students and staff were buzzing with energy, and the day was complete with a sausage sizzle, hamper raffles, fun games,  lucky dips, and a crowd favourite — ice-cold purple slushies!

This initiative was led by the VCE Vocational Major Year 11 class who, inspired by Mary Mackillop’s guiding words, “Never see a need without doing something about it,” organised a fundraiser and generously donated all proceeds to Friends with Dignity.

Friends with Dignity is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit registered charity that delivers practical programs to support victim & survivors of domestic violence, working in partnership with refuges and crisis centres.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to every student, staff member, and family who contributed. Your generosity, compassion, and willingness to stand in solidarity with those in need embody the very best of our community. Together, we have made a meaningful difference.
