MacKillop College strives to give our students the tools they may need to stand independently and as part of a wider community. Our students have choice and structure to find the pathway best suited to them. One such option includes accelerated learning, which assists students who seek higher education. Another is the provision of a specialist program (supporting the new Vocational Major in VCE) for students who prefer applied learning. We also offer career and personal guidance for those who need it, the aim ever being to provide students with a robust support system for social-emotional learning to ensure the prioritisation of their wellbeing.

For students who would like to develop their stage presence as well as becoming more comfortable in front of an audience, the College hosts regular music, dance and theatre productions, where family and friends can attend to support and appreciate their hard work. Everything from artworks to culinary creations to leadership skills are introduced and developed within the curriculum and within our state-of-the- art facilities. Facilities are constructed with ever more consideration towards environmental impact and sustainability, with the College actively investing in renewable energy sources, sustainable materials, and offering students a range of extracurricular programs that focus on caring for our planet and community. One such program is EcoMacK, which has been designed to teach students how they can integrate sustainability into their lives through volunteer programs and innovations that help the environment.

We have designed our campus to best facilitate the learning process, encouraging experimentation and growth with special interest clubs ranging from animal husbandry to eSport to fan fiction. The campus also includes a gymnasium; chapel; amphitheatre; digital technologies hub; art, music and fibre technology centre; and a separate Year 9 campus designed to connect the students to themselves, significant others and the community.

We are living through some of the most challenging and uncertain times in recent history and MacKillop College is proud to say that we are preparing our students by focusing on how important it is to look after the environment, our world and each other. We continue, in honour of our namesake, St Mary MacKillop, to Celebrate all life, Challenge all people and Dream the new day.
