Our two children have both spent their entire school life in the very capable hands of staff and administrators at St Joseph’s Primary School and MacKillop Catholic College. Ella and Sam have both recently graduated from MacKillop and are now on path to higher education at UWA. Ella and Sam have benefitted greatly from the dedication and commitment of their teachers, reaching all the way back to Kindy/pre-primary at St Josephs to the fantastic group of teachers at MacKillop in their secondary years. We have always found the staff at both schools to be extremely supportive of all students, with a genuine care and interest in our children whether it be towards their academic or non-school pursuits. This quality of teaching and support is surely a product of the positive culture that has been developed by staff and school leaders over many years. We are sure that the joining of these two schools will only serve to improve the quality of education on offer and further enhance the reputation of St Mary MacKillop College as one of the best in the region.
