Mary MacKillop Catholic Regional College

Perth Private Schools introduces Mary MacKillop Catholic Regional College in Leongatha, for all your education and learning needs.

The beliefs and values upon which our College relies are those of the Catholic Christian tradition with a particular emphasis on the witness to those beliefs and values given by the faith filled lives of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop and Fr Julian Tenison Woods. As students move through our Catholic school we expect that they will develop a deeper understanding of what we believe as Catholic Christians and why we are called to live our lives in a particular way in response to God’s unbounded love for each and every one of us, the sacrifice and witness of His Son Jesus and the influence of the Holy Spirit in our day to day living. We also hope to deepen their appreciation of their local parish, the wider Diocesan and global church and the growing network of schools that operate in the Josephite tradition.

At Mary MacKillop Catholic Regional College every student is expected to make the most of the gifts and talents with which they have been blessed. College staff members endeavour to provide programs that challenge the strong student without overwhelming the less strong. As they progress through the College students have access to an increasing variety of courses and co-curricular learning opportunities within the VELS (Victorian Essential Learning Standards) curriculum. In the senior years they are able to explore a range of pathways that may incorporate some or all of the VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education), the VCAL (Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning, VETiS (Vocational Education and Training in Schools) and pre-apprenticeship courses.

The adolescent years can be very difficult for many teenagers. One of the very strong features of Mary MacKillop Catholic Regional College is the high level of cooperation that exists between student, family and school. We all want the young adults entrusted to our care to develop into resilient, self-assured young people who make right choices. The pastoral care program, counselling services available and many leadership and co-curricular activities give students every opportunity to graduate with a high level of self-esteem and wellbeing.
