On Wednesday 20th June St Mary MacKillop Catholic Primary had our Term 2 Social Justice activity that supported the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal and Penrith Community Kitchen.
The community support of this social justice activity was amazing and I would like to thank every student and their family for their amazing generosity.
Overall your donations amounted to:
- 34 bags full of beanies, scarves, gloves, socks and blankets
- $300 for the St Vincent DePaul Winter Appeal
- 75 bags of non-perishable groceries for Penrith Community Kitchen.
This food will go towards making many meals to feed the needy and homeless this winter.
Congratulations St Mary MacKillop, every one of you helped to make this winter better for a lot of needy people.

In Science, Year 6 has been learning all about tectonic plate boundaries and the way they move that causes natural disasters to occur. The students have started constructing their models of Volcanoes, Tsunamis and Earthquakes in their groups and will showcase how the tectonic plates move before and during their natural disaster. We can't wait to finish building them tomorrow

This morning we had the long awaited opportunity to finally open our new school gate and pathway. Thank you to our Year 4 students and Year 6 school captains for officially opening this great new feature of our school facilities. It will now be much easier for everyone in our community to access our school from the street.

Hooray!!! Friday we took ownership of the new front ramp for our school. The investment of parent and taxpayer funds is greatly appreciated. The team who planned, managed and built the ramp have been absolute superstars. We are now planning to officially open the ramp for our community to use today. Once it is opened, we invite you to take the opportunity to try out the ramp when you come to visit us next.

Catholic Schools Week: Belong to Something Greater On Monday 2nd March we celebrated the start of CSW with a Liturgy of the Word, celebrating the theme, ‘Belong to Something Greater’. To belong to a Catholic school community, and especially our community here at St Mary MacKillop is to belong to something greater than ourselves, a shared commitment to human dignity, learning for life, and formation in faith, hope, and love.
