Mary MacKillop Catholic College proudly congratulates our Year 5–12 students who were acknowledged for their outstanding academic achievements and contributions at this year’s Academic Awards Ceremony. For the first time we held 2 separate Award Ceremonies to celebrate the academic achievements of our students.  We held a Year 5 - 8 Award Ceremony and a Year 9 - 12 Award Ceremony.

Each award presented represents not only the culmination of hard work and dedication, but also the beginning of new possibilities. Our students have embraced the essence of the 6Ps, explored opportunities for growth, and discovered positive pathways to excel in their learning journey.

The evening was more than a celebration of academic success—it was a reaffirmation of the values that define our College: integrity, diligence, and belonging.

We also recognise the vital role of parents and carers, whose unwavering support is a pillar of student success, and our dedicated teachers, whose guidance and encouragement inspire excellence every day.
