Prayer to End the School Semester

God of wisdom,
We thank you for all the gifts you have given us throughout this school semester.
We praise you for giving us life, for saving us in Christ, and for choosing us to be your people.
As we come to the end of this semester,
we voice our gratitude for the good things you have done in us,
and we praise you for all who have shared in the work of this school.
We ask you to bless them in your love and give them refreshment and peace.
We praise you, God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns forever and ever.
Amen.

Year 12 Hospitality 

I had the privilege of being invited to the Year 12 Hospitality lunch. The exceptional quality of food, service and restaurant design is a credit to their teacher, Mrs Narelle Webster and teacher assistants, Mrs Patricia Falzon and Mrs Suzanne Andrews. This task forms part of their HSC assessment and there is no doubt in my mind that they scored highly. All staff who attended spoke about the perfectly cooked food, which rivalled the best restaurants. I enjoyed my tasty arancini balls, my tender lamb shanks and my delicious tiramisu. Thank you girls!

Enrolling Now

We have had a significant increase in demand for places in Year 7 for 2021, so we are considering adding another stream to meet this demand. If your daughter or you know of a family who is yet to enrol their daughter for Year 7 2021, please ask them to contact us immediately.

There are limited places left for Year 11 in 2021. We are also enrolling for 2022. If you know of a family who want to enrol their daughter into Mary MacKillop Catholic College, please contact the College on 9725 4322.

Year 7-11 Parent-Teacher-Student Interviews

Reports for Years 7-11 have been released today to parents/carers via their Compass portal. Year 7-11 Parent-Teacher-Student Interviews can be arranged until 5pm on 12 July.

We begin Term 3 with the Year 7-11 Parent-Teacher-Student Interviews. A crucial component of learning is reflection. After each unit of work, students and teachers pause to evaluate. Following a semester of learning, it is essential that both students and teachers reflect. This year, as part of the Parent-Teacher-Student Interviews, students have been asked to complete a reflection task for all subjects. Please ask your daughter to share her reflections with you. It is hoped that these reflections form part of the learning conversation in the interviews.

July Holidays

The holidays are a time for our students to relax, re-energise and be with family. For Year 12 students, this is also a time to prepare for their upcoming HSC Trial Examinations and to engage in holiday classes run by our generous teachers.

A special “thank you” to our staff and parents for their support of our students and the College. The stronger are our connections, the more meaningful are our relationships and the more authentic are our conversations, then the better for our girls.

I hope all our students and staff have a wonderful break and I look forward to their return for Term 3.
