Dear families and colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to St Mary MacKillop Primary!
At St Mary MacKillop, we encourage our students to strive for personal excellence. Our deeply committed teachers provide an outstanding education, characterised by high expectations and explicit teaching. We take pride in our reputation for academic excellence and contemporary learning.
At the heart of our school is a strong sense of community. We foster positive and respectful relationships, ensuring that every student experiences a safe and happy environment. Our nurturing school culture makes learning a positive and rewarding experience for all.
Our school motto, Together We Grow, reflects our commitment to developing thoughtful and compassionate young people. Inspired by our patron, St Mary MacKillop, our students learn to care for one another and the broader community.
As a Catholic school, we share a strong partnership with the parish of St Nicholas of Myra, Penrith. Together with families, we nurture students’ faith and values, helping them recognise God's presence in their daily lives.
I invite you to register for our next Open Day and discover why we’re the right choice for your child.
Come and join us!
