Mary MacKillop College is a Catholic secondary school for girls situated in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide and in close proximity of the city. The College is owned by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart which is the Order co-founded by Mary MacKillop in 1866. The College is adjacent to the Order’s original Mother House in Kensington. The hallmarks of the College are excellent academic results, a high level of pastoral care and a commitment to developing the leadership abilities of the girls in the service of others. The Pastoral Care Program is aligned with our Josephite ethos and Catholic tradition and aims to develop the social and emotional wellbeing of the girls. MacKillop girls hail from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds and this enriches our community and develops understanding and inclusivity. The majority of our students seek a university pathway and our graduates enter a wide variety of tertiary courses including Medicine, Law, Health Sciences, Arts and Education. All students are encouraged to know themselves as learners in doing so become successful life long learners.
