CELEBRATING OUR STUDENTS

This Fortnight's Awards

Fairness

Each fortnight we focus on one of our school values: Respect, Fairness, Generosity, Inspiration, Perseverance. We model and look for opportunties to teach our students values which underpin the way we believe we should live and interact with others and with our world.

Our value of fairness comes from MacKillop green house which is named after            Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop. Mary MacKillop was born in what is now called, Fitzroy, Melbourne in 1842. She founded the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart (the Josephites), a congregation of religious sisters that established a number of schools and welfare institutions throughout Australia and New Zealand, with an emphasis on education for the rural poor.

Mary MacKillop was like Jesus in that she cared for people who nobody else cared for. She opened schools so poor kids could learn and she cared for kids who had no parents. She is Austrailia's first and only saint!

"Do to others, as you would have them do to you" Luke 6:31
