Welcome to MacKillop Catholic College, a dynamic, Christ-centred learning community dedicated to fostering excellence, compassion, and service.

As a 7-12 College, MacKillop Catholic College provides a comprehensive education for students from Year 7 through to Year 12. Since our founding in 1994, we have proudly grown into a thriving community of over 900 students and 150 staff, offering a modern and diverse learning environment where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential.

At MacKillop, we are committed to educating the whole person—spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, and morally. Our broad curriculum is tailored to the unique needs, interests, and abilities of our students, ensuring that they are equipped with the skills and knowledge to succeed both academically and in life.

Our focus is not only on academic excellence but also on personal growth, with opportunities in a wide range of specialist areas, including Food Technology, Drama, Music, Dance, Fine Arts, Information Technology, and more. As we continue to evolve, our facilities provide the modern learning spaces that allow students to engage with these subjects to the highest standards.

MacKillop Catholic College is located on the traditional homeland of the Mumirimina people of the Oyster Bay Nation who were born of, lived with, and cared for this land for many generations. We acknowledge the deep connection to Country and Culture of the custodians of this place, the Palawa / Pakana of lutruwita. We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community and pay our respect to Elders past and present. We are committed to learning alongside the children we teach in this place, and the community that we form a part of, to support the continued sharing of knowledge and Culture.
