JJAMM Week 2019

Each year, at Mary MacKillop Catholic College, we celebrate our Josephite charism and the legacy of Mary MacKillop through JJAMM week. During this week we learn more about what it means to be a Josephite community through understanding the works of the patron, St Joseph and the founders of the Sisters of St Joseph, Fr Tenison Woods and Mary MacKillop. JJAMM is an acronym for St Joseph, Julian Tenison Woods and Mary MacKillop. This year we celebrated JJAMM Week with Affirmation Cards to make others happy; Photo Booth; Game Day with a student Newcombe Ball game, chalk drawings and other games; Dynamic Duo Mufti Day and with our Feast Day.

Term 3 Adoration

During Term 3 partook in Adoration and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Adoration is a sign of devotion to and worship of Jesus Christ. Jesus is present in Adoration through the blessed sacrament of the Eucharist. Students listen to the word of God and spend time contemplating this with relation to their own lives.  During term 3 students were asked to write affirmations for other students as messages of encouragement and support. These affirmations have been posted around the school and students have taken affirmations on a daily basis.
