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.

Kayla R represented St Mary Mackillop Primary at the Equestrian NSW State Interschools Championship during the July school holidays. Kayla was among the top 22 riders in NSW to qualify for the dressage competition and achieved an outstanding overall seventh place in the state. In her one event she finished 3rd out of the 22 and the other 10th position, which then gave her a 7th overall. This was a remarkable result at an elite level of competition, and we are incredibly proud of her.

Congratulations to Spencer in Year 6!!! During the holidays I got to see Spencer perform in a production of "Stories in the Dark", by Debra Oswald. I was totally amazed at how professional and talented their performance was. I would not have expected that a year 6 student could manage such a complex role and storyline so well. Well done Spencer and thank you for your performance.
