Clairvaux MacKillop College was established in 1987 through the amalgamation of two Catholic Colleges – Clairvaux College and MacKillop College. The College draws deeply from the traditions and charisms of the Christian Brothers and the Sisters of St Joseph. We have built a reputation for academic excellence and empower our students to lead a balanced life through self-discipline, self-motivation, responsibility and accountability. We encourage our students to be welcoming, open and supportive. We encourage them to interact with their world with justice, respect, compassion, forgiveness and patience. These characteristics, attitudes and life skills will assist them to contribute positively and openly within their community. Like our two foundation Colleges, Clairvaux MacKillop College has a strong academic, sporting, cultural and pastoral care base. Our College values are steeped in the deep traditions of:

Excellence – working towards our very best
Integrity – doing what we know is right
Justice – treating all fairly and with respect
Commitment – remaining tenacious in our endeavors, no matter how difficult
Compassion – approaching life with a deep care of others
Celebration – truly enjoying the positives in life

These values are lived out every day in our class spaces, grounds and staff rooms.
