Our Vision

As a faith community with Christ as our focus, we, like Mary MacKillop, follow Him and inspire:

  • Strong, clear minds which value learning;
  • Compassionate hearts; and,
  • Courageous spirits to serve others with confidence.

“If we love one another, Christ lives in us” (1 John 4:12)

Our Values

At MacKillop Catholic College the following gospel values are upheld:

RESPECT

We respect and value all people and living beings.

To take notice of; to regard with special attention; and to regard as worthy of God’s love and consideration. Acknowledging that every human being is made in the image and likeness of God and has an inalienable and transcendent human dignity which gives rise to human rights.
“Be vigilant, stay firm in the faith, be brave and strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13

INCLUSIVENESS

Our shared Catholic identity guides us to serve those who are marginalised.

To follow the example of Jesus; welcoming all and providing an environment in which God’s grace can touch, heal and save.

“for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28

COURAGE

We strive for a better world despite our fears and show resilience in the face of challenges.

The ability to rise above personal challenges and fears, as Jesus did.

“Have courage no matter what the crosses are” Mary MacKillop 1890

INTEGRITY

We act with honesty and virtue.

To act in accordance with principles of moral and ethical conduct, and ensure consistency between words and deeds.

“Lord, teach me your way, lead me on the path of integrity” Psalms 27:11

COMPASSION

We show kindness, empathy and compassion to all.

To be sensitive to the needs of self and others; acting with a will to serve, forgive and love.

“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” Matthew 7:12

“Never see a need without trying to do something about it” Mary MacKillop
