About Us
St Mary MacKillop College is a Years 7 to 12 coeducational Catholic secondary school and is one of eleven such schools in the Diocese of Ballarat. St Mary MacKillop College sprang from the Catholic Primary School, St Mary's, in the 1980's. In 1986 students and staff referred to the secondary section of the school as MacKillop College, although the school was not officially named MacKillop College until 1988. It was in this year that the first Year 12 students completed their Year 12 studies at the school. The Sisters of St Jospeh have played a key role in the development of the college and the school was named after the founder of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart, Mary MacKillop.
St Mary MacKillop College is situated centrally in Swan Hill, and makes use of the town services and facilities. The College has increased in enrolment over the past few years with a current enrolment of 620 students. St Mary MacKillop College receives enrolments from the Swan Hill, Balranald, Kerang, Sea Lake, Lake Boga, Tooleybuc, Moulamein, Nyah, Woorinen and Beverford regions.
In 2022 St Mary MacKillop College, under the governance and guidance of the Diocese of Ballarat Catholic Education Limited (DOBCEL), purchased 6.7 hectares of land on Gray St Swan Hill. This will be the future site of our school. This site is more than three times our current size and will allow us to build purpose built classrooms for 21st Century learners. The move to this site will take many years, however the prospect is very exciting.
Core values of the school are centred on knowing and living the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. The College also maintains a strong commitment to the charism of Australia's first saint, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop and the Josephite Order. Our vision “As partners in Catholic education and open to God’s presence, we pursue fullness of life for all.”
The school achieves its mission by seeking to develop the potential of all members of the community. This includes the spiritual, academic, artistic and sporting dimensions of school life. The St Mary MacKillop College community is inclusive and acknowledges that we are all made in the image and likeness of God and we are created in love. People of all faiths, genders, sexualities and cultures are therefore respected equally in our community.
