We employ a holistic approach to education, to enhance our students’ personal journeys through their secondary schooling, and offer engaging learning opportunities across a variety of pathways in academia, performance and applied learning.
The Culture of MacKillop College holds within it the Josephite ideals of inclusivity and education for all.
Principal's Message
Chris Caldow, former Principal of Penola Catholic College in Glenroy and Broadmeadows, joined MacKillop College in Term 3, 2023. His journey is one of hard work and a need to do the most amount of good for the most amount of people.
He is dedicated to leaving the College and our students a legacy whereby they are in a better place to where they were when he joined the community. He brings with him a steadfast commitment to growth and evolution, and hopes to see students and staff thrive. Standing within the Josephite tradition, Caldow emphasises faith and education, building on the foundations already in place.
