We are so proud of all our students for the outstanding sportsmanship, determination, and dedication they displayed throughout the Athletics Carnival . Whether they were competing, cheering on their peers, or encouraging others to do their best, every student contributed to making the carnival a wonderful success.

We captured so many fantastic moments and can’t wait to share more photos and highlights with you over the coming days. Stay tuned! 📸✨

We spent time today celebrating St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. St Mary is the pillar saint for our school value of Compassion. St Mary teaches us the power of serving those in need. Her motto “Never see a need without doing something about it” reminds us that the power of helping others lies with us. ... See MoreSee Less

Grade 3/4 spent time today picking up rubbish from our school grounds so that our school looks pristine for our athletics carnival. They worked in teams and weighed their buckets before and after the clean up. We have removed a grand total of 2157g of litter from our ovals and playgrounds!!! ... See MoreSee Less
