MacKillop Day
MacKillop Day on Wednesday, 8 August marked the celebration of the feast day of Mary MacKillop. 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 Mary's 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 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 slice of pizza or two.
