Mary MacKillop

Welcome

Mary MacKillop College, Wakeley is a Years 7-12 girls’ college modelled on the inspiration of Blessed Mary MacKillop, who believed in God and was accepting of the challenges that shaped her life.

Mary MacKillop, Australia’s first Saint, was passionate about bringing education to the young from all sectors of society - wealthy, poor, migrants and indigenous.  She believed in the importance of educating the young from all walks of life to use their gifts to forge a better future for themselves and society. This is reflected in the College motto “Called to Life”.

Mary MacKillop College strives to empower young women to reach their potential by offering a wide range of academic courses to the HSC, as well as co-curricular activities and leadership and life skills.

As a school community, we believe:
-That Mary MacKillop based her life on the ideals of trust in God, respect for every person, justice for the poor and education that promoted the individual. Her charism should guide all our endeavours at Mary MacKillop College.
-That the Christian ethos, based on the Gospel values of peace, love, joy and reconciliation, should pervade all aspects of the College.
-That we should work in cooperation and partnership with parents, priests and the local community.
-That we live in a multicultural society and that this is the future hope of our community.
-That education is about liberation and the redemption of the human spirit in all its aspects and that the Catholic school is concerned with empowering students to become autonomous and to take responsibility for their own learning and lives.
-That education should prepare and equip women for an equal future in society.
