Recently our Head Boy and Head Girl travelled to Sydney to attend the annual JJAMM Student Leadership Conference for the first time. This is a national event for Sisters of St Joseph schools, and focuses on the leadership qualities of St Joseph, Julian Tennyson Woods and Mary MacKillop.
The 2018 Timor team has been selected and representing the St Mary MacKillop College community in Timor next year will be:
Diwan Ackerman, Sarah Court, Ethan Durrant, Tayla Jackson, Ned McMinigal, Ross Rann, Lili Renfrey, Sam Tolley, Sophie Wilmot
They have begun their fundraising efforts with flair and colour, setting up a face painting stall at the recent Hannay Lane Street Party in Dunsborough which became a runaway success.
St Mary MacKillop College’s Annual Secondary Presentation Night was held on Thursday evening, 16 November, in the College gymnasium. This formal evening recognised the efforts of the College’s finest academic and performing arts students for the year, and also showcased a few of the highlights from 2017.
All Subject Awards for Years 7-12 were presented, as well as a number of Special Awards sponsored by various organisations and businesses.
The 2017 MacKillop Art Exhibition was officially opened by Principal Frank Norton on Thursday 2 November in the College Gymnasium. Guest judges were this year’s Artist in Residence at the College, Aidan Lee-Smith, and Rochelle Ritchie from Jackson’s Art Supplies in Busselton.
Australian International athletes, visited the College last week as part of the Champions 2 Country 2017 South West regional tour.
The aim of the tour has been to motivate students and aspiring athletes to reach for goals which were out there and targets they could aim for.
The Design & Technology Project Exhibition was held in the Gymnasium foyer from Wednesday 25 to Friday 27 October. The exhibition displayed student work from the subject areas of Design and Technology, Home Economics and Digital Technology and included displays in photography, robotics, coding, 3D printing, metal, acrylic, wood and furniture design.
Lisa Weston joins the College community this term to work with all students, particularly our Aboriginal students, in promoting Aboriginal culture and providing a critical link to the community.
Having lived in the South West all her life, Lisa loves anything to do with the beach and summer, including swimming, fishing and BBQs. She also has a real passion for education, with four children of her own, and joins our student support team from a similar role at Busselton Senior High School.
The last day of Term 3 is always an emotional day. For our Year 12 students, the day marks the end of their journey as students of St Mary MacKillop College. They also hand the mantle of leaders in our College community to our Year 11 students.
The morning commenced for the Year 12s with the Graduation Breakfast in the Multi-Purpose Room.
On Friday 25th of August, the Year 11 students enjoyed a night of dancing and socialising at their annual Spring Fling. There was plenty of excitement and enthusiasm for this highly anticipated event, as the students arrived in their finest attire and entered the Arabian themed night.
