Mary MacKillop, helping every student flourish

For almost 40 years, Mary MacKillop Catholic Regional College has proudly educated and supported young people across the South Gippsland and Bass Coast communities.

Since opening on February 5, 1986, the College has built a strong tradition of faith, learning, opportunity, and community connection.

As the College celebrates this significant milestone, it continues to focus on helping every student flourish.

Students are encouraged to discover and develop their individual gifts through a wide range of opportunities including sport, music, leadership, debating, academic extension programs, community involvement, and co-curricular activities that broaden learning beyond the classroom.

This commitment to authentic learning was recently highlighted through the Year 7 city camp.

Students visited Melbourne Museum, participated in a walking tour linked to their English study of The Runner, and spent time at the Mary MacKillop Heritage Centre, connecting their studies with history, culture, and faith.

The College also offers multiple senior pathways, including VCE, VCE Vocational Major, and VET, ensuring students can pursue futures suited to their strengths and aspirations.

As Mary MacKillop Catholic Regional College looks ahead to its next chapter, enrolments for Year 7 2027 close on May 31, 2026.

Families interested in learning more are warmly encouraged to contact the College and arrange a visit.
