Mary MacKillop College Kensington

Mary MacKillop College proudly honours its founding values, reflecting the courage and leadership of Australia’s first saint to instil in each student a passion for personal excellence and the confidence to design their own pathway to success. Driven by the pursuit for social justice and a quality education for all, Mary MacKillop College’s Josephite heritage inspires girls to show compassion and embrace opportunities to shine academically, spiritually and socially. They are active and involved in their learning - motivated to know more, challenged to do more and always striving to be more. Every MacKillop girl receives a strong academic education, elevated by the connection and commitment at the heart of our community. Our passionate and innovative staff energise young hearts and minds - just as Mary herself did so tirelessly. The modern classrooms and contemporary facilities of the College today still provide access to the Chapel and Convent grounds where Mary lived and worked to promote educational opportunities for girls in the late 1800s. Our relatively small community ensures strong and enduring relationships are developed right from the start. It is on the strength of this mutual respect and real sense of belonging that Mary MacKillop College provides such quality teaching and learning. Guided by our motto, “In All Things Love”, we can understand and advance the uniqueness and potential of each young woman, regardless of culture or faith. Academic excellence forms only part of a successful, holistic journey for our students. At Mary MacKillop College every student is inspired and equipped to face the future with confidence and resilience. In the words of Saint Mary, “Never see a need without doing something about It.” With this sense of service and strength in learning, MacKillop girls build their own futures – and they do so with compassion and an enduring courage to lead.
