MacKillop Day marked the celebration of the feast day of Mary MacKillop on Thursday, 8 August. She is Australia's first saint and House Icon of our College. Mary MacKillop came from a large family and as the eldest cared for her younger siblings. This began the start of her care and compassion through teaching that led her to 'not see a need without doing something about it'. In a similar way the students in the MacKillop House belong as members of a family, where the older students look out for the younger ones. We celebrated the day, by joining together as a House by wearing red, playing games on the oval organised by the Senior school students, decorating biscuits, face painting and sharing in a sausage sizzle. Furthermore, it was wonderful to see classes across the College engaging with the key ideas around Mary MacKillop's legacy and prayer. There were members of our school community spotted "seeing a need and doing something about it" which were Mrs Patterson, Felix Twidale, Mikayla Leahy, Ashley Dean, Charlotte Caldwell, Molly Gibson, Keira Bryant, Gemma Sullivan, Jessica MacDonald and Pippa Smith.
