College Calendar 2 Weeks at a Glance

Message from the Acting College Principal
Dear Community,
Student Leader Commissioning
Last Friday, we gathered in assembly to commission our new student leaders. This occasion in some ways marks the end of a chapter but is also an opportunity to celebrate a spirit of leadership that continues to thrive at our College. We welcomed our new student leaders with open arms and hearts full of expectation, while also taking a moment to reflect on and honour the exceptional contributions of those who are handing over the reins.
Our outgoing leaders demonstrated initiative, compassion, and unity. They saw needs in our community and answered them with creativity and dedication. They brought the College together through activities that crossed grades, backgrounds, and talents – creating a more inclusive, vibrant community for everyone.
Their achievements speak for themselves:
The spectacular K-12 Harmony Day Colour Run – a true pinnacle event – reminded us all of the power of unity in diversity.
Socktober and the Star 104.5 breakfast event raised both awareness and community spirit.
Marking occasions such as International Women’s Day, RUOK? Day, and Do It for Dolly Day, they championed wellbeing and respect.
They advocated for safety through their letter to our local member, David Harris, regarding road concerns, showing that leadership extends beyond the school gates.
They set the stage – literally! – with lunchtime karaoke and busking sessions, celebrated the arts during CAPA nights, and welcomed our sister school with warmth and excitement through a range of cultural activities.
From pancake flipping on Shrove Tuesday to supporting vital causes with the Dignity Drive, and fostering healthy competition at lunchtime sports, they made every week richer for their peers.
But their leadership didn’t stop at what they initiated. They rolled up their sleeves and served at school events:
Welcoming visitors on Open Day and guiding future students on Taster Day.
Supporting our spiritual and community life – Father’s Day Mass, World Educators’ Day, assemblies, Anzac Day, parish events, youth masses, Shine and Spark Sessions, College liturgical events – they were always there, quietly ensuring everything ran smoothly.
They brought energy to Book Week, Theatre Sports, Mini Vinnies, Ignite, Praisefest, Connecting Catholic Coasties, and our carnivals – creating memories and connections that will last.
To each outgoing leader: thank you. You modelled not only what leadership looks like, but what it feels like to be cared for, included, and inspired. Your legacy is the strong foundation you leave for those who follow.
I would also like to pay a special thank you to our dedicated teacher mentors – the 21 staff members who have guided, supported, and inspired our student leaders across both the Cabinet and the four leadership portfolios. Your commitment, wisdom, and encouragement have been invaluable, helping our young leaders grow in confidence and character. Through your mentorship, you have not only shaped this year’s achievements but have also set an example of service and leadership that will echo long into the future. Thank you for your unwavering support and for walking alongside our student leaders every step of the way.
And now, a heartfelt welcome to our incoming leaders. They have big shoes to fill, but they have already shown so much promise, creativity, and vision. Their leadership journey has now begun, and I have every confidence they will bring fresh ideas and renewed energy. Remember: leadership is not about being in charge but about taking care of those in your charge. Support one another, lift up your peers, and continue making a difference – one small act at a time.

Primary News
18th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Gospel Acclamation:
“Happy the poor in spirit; the kingdom of heaven is theirs.” Mt 5:3
Dear Parents and Carers,
Message from the Head of Primary
Welcome back to Term 3! Over the break, we had some changes to the Primary Leadership Team and general staffing. Mrs. Kenney and Mrs. Whitmore have moved into their acting roles at St. Cecilia’s, Wyong. Mrs. Chris Shilling has moved into the role of acting Deputy Head of Primary, and I am pleased to announce that Mrs Melissa Ellmore and Mrs Sarah Shorter have accepted temporary roles on the Primary Leadership Team. Mrs Ellmore will fill the position of Curriculum Lead K-2, and Mrs Shorter has accepted the role of Curriculum Support and Stage 2 Lead. All of these educators bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to these roles and will assist the Primary Leadership Team with wisdom. I am grateful for their willingness to serve our community as key leaders.
Miss Madelyne Smith replaces Mrs Shilling in 2 Wattle. Mrs Abbey Pareskevas and Mrs Salina Myall replace Mrs Whitmore in 6 Banksia. Mr John Sullivan is on parental leave in Term 3 and is replaced by Miss Piper Huxtable in 5 Wattle.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your involvement in last Friday’s Grandparents Day and all of the associated activities, including the Year 6 Cake Stall and 100 Days of Kindergarten. I was overjoyed by the number of visitors and guests to the College and the frenetic, yet peaceful energy of the day. It was truly a celebration of community and ‘One Family’ in faith.
Bishop Anthony will join us for the Sacrament of Confirmation this evening as 48 candidates, together with their families, confirm the promises their parents made for them at Baptism. It is a wonderful celebration of faith and family as visitors and guests support these young people. Confirmation reminds us all that the Holy Spirit fills our hearts and enables our hands to do the work of Jesus on earth. Just as the apostles were filled with the fire of the Spirit at Pentecost, we are also inspired to fulfil the acts of the Apostles in our lives as contemporary disciples.
This Friday, 1 August, is our MacKillop House Colour fundraiser for Year 6. This gold coin fundraiser will support Year 6 Graduation, and any additional monies will go toward support for our planned playground in the redesigned building structure.
Our first Assembly for Semester 2 will be in Week 3, Wednesday, 6 August, due to Friday, 8 August being MacKillop Feast Day. We will present this assembly in the Library, beginning at 9.30 am. Award recipients of Mission, Learning or Culture, as well as Assistant Principal Awards, will be notified by their teacher.
Fences & Gates
You would already see that fences have appeared, fully enclosing the College. Currently, the gates are open, but shortly, both students and parents will need to use the gates to access and move around the College. This will increase the security and safety of our campus and provide greater control over access to the site.
Winter Illness Takes Its Toll
I want to take an opportunity to recognise the toll that illness takes on our entire community. It is hard to believe that only a few short years ago, we battled a pandemic that shut down the world and allowed us all to recognise the importance of ‘essential workers’. The winter months are harsh, and many illnesses have shown an increase, such as Influenza A, RSV, Bronchitis and Whooping Cough. Schools are notorious for spreading germs, no matter how diligent we are in hygiene and cleaning measures. Teachers are the ‘front line’ in dealing with daily learning when there is reduced class numbers due to illness as well as coping with their own health and that of their families. Please be mindful that teachers prepare learning, even when they are absent, and the care of their class is on their minds even when they are unable to be present. If you have a concern about your child’s learning, please contact your child’s teacher. We want to accompany you on the journey of health, growth and learning for your child.
Calling us to Action
Outreach or charity is the action of supporting others who are in need. I am always inspired by young people who want to make a difference in the world. Students often approach me wanting to raise money for causes they are passionate about, such as mental health, cancer research or hospitalisation. As a Catholic Community we are called to support key Catholic charities such as Caritas’ Project Compassion, St. Vincent De Paul, Catholic Mission as well as Mary Macs- a major organisation inspired by the work of St. Mary of the Cross and the Sisters of St. Joseph. Mary Macs is a centre for the homeless on the Central Coast based at Woy Woy. Bishop Anthony has asked CSBB schools to support this centre, and in Term 2, we presented an enormous gift of non-perishable goods to the centre.
I can appreciate the difficulty surrounding the financial support of a charity when the challenge of the household budget is paramount. I encourage students to see that money is one way they can assist a cause close to their heart, and the other is through ‘advocacy’. Advocacy is about representing or speaking out in favour of an issue and persuading others to support your cause. It is about increasing awareness and, by doing so, inspiring action and increased understanding of an individual’s or group's experience of that issue.
Many of our teachers, parents and students in Secondary take time to work at Coast Shelter in Gosford once a month. On the 22nd of August, many of our MCC students will ‘sleep rough’ on site to support the challenge of homelessness in our region. We will listen to testimonies from individuals who struggle, share a simple meal and then use a cardboard box to shelter from the cold. An invitation via a Compass Event for students from Stage 3 upward will appear in the coming weeks.
As Catholics, the extension of advocacy is our calling as disciples of Jesus, who encourages us to seek mercy for those who suffer. The Corporal Works of Mercy call us to: To feed the hungry, provide drink for the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit prisoners, care for the sick and bury the dead.
As Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’” Thank you for assisting in building a community that recognises social justice as a response to need in our local area.
Have a great weekend
Kerry Power | Head of Primary

Next week we celebrate the Feast of St. Mary of the Cross MacKillop
As we lead into the Feast of St Mary of the Cross next week, I would like to deliver some teaching about who we are as MacKillop people and, within that, the story of Mary MacKillop revealed through our Houses.
MacKillop Catholic College has six Houses, and each is connected to a special place in the life of our Patron, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. Together, they form a timeline of Mary’s life. Each House has a colour, a virtue or value and a mascot based on an origin story.
Mary was born in a suburb of Melbourne called Fitzroy in 1842. Faith was born in Fitzroy. In 1866, in the small country town of Penola in South Australia, Mary wore her black dress for the first time, called herself ‘Mary of the Cross’ and became a Sister of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart. She became a disciple of Jesus; Discipleship was accepted in Penola. In 1873, Mary travelled to Rome to seek a blessing from the Pope in The Vatican for the Sisters of St Joseph. While she was there, she went to the Gesu Church to pray; Hope was prayed for in Gesu. In 1883, Mary travelled to Temuka in New Zealand to start schools for children in poor areas. Mary truly believed that education was the key to escaping poverty; Justice was delivered in Temuka. In 1887, Mary MacKillop moved many orphans out of the city for their safety and health. The Sisters established a home to care for boys in Kincumber, on the banks of Brisbane Waters; Compassion was enacted in Kincumber. In 1909, suffering from ill health, Mary MacKillop died in Alma Cottage at the Mother House in North Sydney. Many people who knew Mary MacKillop described her, even then, as a saint; she was a woman of great Integrity.
The Feast of St Mary MacKillop is August 8th and is a day of immense joy and celebration for our community. As a way to begin the celebrations, we would like to encourage our students to dress in their MacKillop House colours this Friday, 1 August. We invite students to contribute to this Year 6 Graduation fundraiser by donating a gold coin. This will be the second fundraising activity Year 6 has planned for the year. Thank you in advance for your support.

Learning
Last Friday, NAPLAN results were sent home with children in Year 3 and Year 5. NAPLAN provides a snapshot of how each child performed in reading, writing, spelling, grammar, and numeracy at the time of the test. It offers valuable insight into each child’s progress against national standards and helps us as a school to identify areas of strength and areas for development.
While NAPLAN is a useful tool, it’s important to remember it reflects performance on one day, under test conditions. Teachers use a range of ongoing assessments throughout the year to support student learning and track progress over time.
We are pleased to share that our 2025 NAPLAN results reflect strong overall performance across both year levels. This demonstrates our students' continued growth in literacy and numeracy, with particularly strong achievement in writing.
Congratulations to all our students and staff for their hard work and commitment to learning. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher.

Student Achievement
We have had a busy and productive start to the Term in teaching and learning. In Week 1, we held our Subject Selection Evening for students entering Year 9, 2026 and Year 11, 2026. Meanwhile, our Year 12 students have been attending after school sessions in preparation for their upcoming Trial examinations.
Subject Selection Interviews
Throughout Term 2, students explored their aspirations, strengths, and potential career pathways during PDHPE lessons and information sessions. This has helped them start thinking about life beyond the school gates and become better prepared for their subject choices.
Next Monday, 4 August, from 2:30 to 6:30 pm, we will be holding Subject Selection Interviews for Year 10 students. These interviews are a vital opportunity to discuss pathways, study options, and choices as students move into Stage 6. By exploring these options now, we aim to set students up for success in their senior studies and beyond. It is important that all families book in for these interviews as students will receive their Edval code to choose courses.
Students received a subject selection pack during the evening, and we encourage you to bring this along to your interview. Please ensure you book your interview via Compass and complete the student Straw poll prior to attending. The booking system will close at 9 am on Monday morning, and the Straw poll on Friday, 8 August at 4 pm.
Year 9 Electives
It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout at our Subject Selection Evening. Students had the chance to speak directly with teachers and start thinking about the elective courses they would like to study. Students will shortly receive an email explaining how to submit their preferences via Edval. Please remember that choices should be made in order of preference. Students should check their emails from Monday, Week 3.
Trial Examinations
Our Year 12 students have been preparing diligently for their Trial examinations. Many have attended lock-in sessions, which have provided valuable opportunities to revise and practise under exam conditions. We are grateful for the commitment and support of their teachers, who continue to guide and encourage them through this important period.
For your reference, NESA and The Sydney Morning Herald have released their HSC Study Guide 2025, which we have attached here. We encourage you and your child to explore this resource. HSC Study Guide 2025
We wish all our Year 12 students the very best for their upcoming Trial examinations.
A new course will be offered in 2026 to our Year 9 students
We are launching a new elective in 2026 called Life and Work Readiness: Future Skills Micro Credential Course. Please see the course handbook description of the course:
Course background
Micro credentials are short, targeted certifications that recognise a student’s skill or achievement in a specific area. Unlike traditional school subjects, micro credentials focus on real-world competencies that employers and training providers value. This innovative elective gives students the opportunity to explore real-world skills, industry insights and future careers, while earning micro-credentials that are recognised beyond school. Students will work on practical, purpose-driven projects and earn digital badges from various industry organisations that can be linked to their resumes and future course applications.
We want to engage in parent/carer consultation to seek to understand what skills they see as essential life and work readiness skills for their children. This will help us ground our thinking and frame skills and knowledge that can inform the course.
Please find the time to complete this form. https://forms.office.com/r/LhXy3FyQLR

5 Tips for Smarter Study
Last Term, I shared some tips on how to study effectively and how to write a bibliography. Continuing with that theme, this week we’ll explore how to research effectively.
Research is more than just Googling a topic; it’s about asking great questions, finding reliable information, and using it to deepen your understanding. Here are five practical tips to help you become a more effective researcher:
- Start with a clear question. Instead of a broad topic like “Ancient Egypt,” ask something focused: “How did religion influence daily life in Ancient Egypt?” A good question keeps your research focused and purposeful.
- Use trusted sources. Prioritise websites ending in .edu, .gov or .org. Always check the author, the publication date, and whether the content aims to inform, persuade, or sell something.
- Search smarter with Google. Use:
- Quotation marks for exact phrases (e.g. “Viking longships”)
- Use keywords like “PDF” or “site:.edu” to find credible sources
- Minus signs to exclude terms (e.g. Cold War -video)
- Phrases like “for students” to find clearer explanations - Take purposeful notes. Summarise key points in your own words, organise ideas under headings, and jot down source details as you go.
- Keep track of sources. Start a running list of website URLs, articles, and authors while you research so you’re ready to build your bibliography later.
- Think critically. Don’t just copy and paste; reflect, make connections, and explain ideas in your own voice.
Strong research builds strong thinking, and that’s what great learners do.

Levelling Up: Year 11 Students Inspired by Matt Cogin’s Journey of Growth and Courage
On Tuesday, 23 July, the Year 11 cohort participated in a transformative “Levelling Up” workshop led by Talent Facilitator, Matt Cogin. The session offered students a rare and meaningful opportunity to reflect on personal growth, resilience, and the power of choice.
Matt Cogin shared his compelling story of adversity, recounting the missteps of his teenage years and the pivotal moments that helped him redirect his life. His message was anchored in the powerful notion: “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Through this lens, Matt encouraged students to embrace opportunities, even when they feel uncertain or afraid.
A key theme of the workshop was the importance of building a strong personal network. Matt highlighted how surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals and mentors can be a catalyst for levelling up—both personally and professionally. He also spoke candidly about fear, framing it not as a barrier but as a gateway to courage and growth.
Students were invited to share their own reflections and experiences with their peers, creating a space of openness and connection. The workshop was not only inspiring but also deeply personal, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.
This session was a powerful reminder that growth often begins with a single brave step—and that every student has the potential to shape their own path forward.
Rabbitohs Bring Skills, Stories, and Smiles to MacKillop Catholic College
On Tuesday, 23 July, MacKillop Catholic College was thrilled to welcome representatives from one of Australia’s most iconic sporting organisations—the South Sydney Rabbitohs - for a special wellbeing visit.
The day was packed with energy and inspiration as Rabbitohs legends Yileen Gordon and Rhys Wesser, alongside current forward Davy Moale, led students through a series of rugby league skills clinics and wellbeing workshops. These sessions were designed to promote healthy choices and personal development, all through the engaging lens of rugby league.
Students had the unique opportunity to interact with the players, hear their stories, and learn how the values of discipline, teamwork, and resilience apply both on and off the field. The workshops focused on making positive lifestyle choices, building confidence, and understanding the importance of mental and physical wellbeing.
It was a light-hearted and fun-filled day that left a lasting impression on students and staff alike. We’re excited about the future of this partnership and look forward to more in-depth workshops at Heffron Park—the Rabbitohs’ high-performance centre in Maroubra. This ongoing relationship promises to offer even more opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and be inspired by the power of rugby league.

HSIE Faculty Update
We are pleased to welcome Mrs Rosette Thomas to the HSIE faculty. Mrs Thomas brings a wealth of experience in teaching Geography and will be taking on a range of Stage 4 and Stage 5 classes this semester. Her subject knowledge and classroom expertise will be a great asset to both staff and students.
We would also like to thank Mr Alex Langbridge for stepping into the role of Acting Assistant Leader of Learning and Teaching for HSIE while Mr Mace was on leave. His calm leadership, reliability and professional support of staff and students during this time was greatly appreciated.
In May, Mr Langbridge attended the Geography Teachers Association (GTA) Conference on behalf of the HSIE team at MacKillop. The theme of the conference was Navigating Change: Geography for a Resilient Future, and it focused on preparing schools for the upcoming changes to the Geography curriculum.
The conference explored the NSW Curriculum Reform and the new Geography 7–10 Syllabus (2024). Sessions covered the drivers behind the reform, the timelines for implementation, and the integration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander priorities. Attendees were given a detailed overview of the new syllabus structure and content, which balances familiar topics with new areas aimed at improving student engagement and learning outcomes.
A key focus was the NSW Digital Curriculum and how digital tools can be effectively used to support Geography teaching. Participants also reviewed a range of syllabus support materials to assist with planning and classroom delivery. Overall, the conference offered valuable insights and practical next steps for teachers as we prepare for full implementation in 2027.
We look forward to sharing more about this transition in future updates.
