For Years 7-10 MacKillop, the 3/4 mark of the year presents an opportunity to celebrate your achievements, reflect on the journey thus far, and, more importantly, challenge yourself to improve as you approach Term 4.

This week marks the end of the preliminary year for Year 11 students - well done! I encourage you all to make the most of the final term break leading into your HSC year. Early next term, with your parents/guardians, take the time to read over your report and, where applicable, make an informed and guided decision about the subject you will cease studying. 

On September 8, the current Senior Leadership Team formally commissioned the incoming 2026 leaders. Congratulations to the following MacKillop students who will hold the following leadership positions for the coming year:

Annabelle Paull - College Captain

Lukas Muir - College Vice Captain

Mia Lasscock - Indigenous Captain

Olivia Johnson-Pepper - Indigenous Captain

Congratulations to the incoming MacKillop House Captains, Millicent Harpley and Sophee McFadyen. I am certain they will both make a positive contribution to MacKillop House and Carroll College and build on the strong house spirit instilled by Keira and Marissa over the past year. 

As co-Indigenous Captain for 2025, Savannah McGann deserves praise for the pride and enthusiasm she consistently showed throughout the year. She has served as an inspiring role model for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students.

Year 12 MacKillop, you made it, nearly! After 13 years of schooling, well done! This week marks the end of your formal classes. You should all be proud of your achievements, and though the journey has had some challenges, you are now well placed for life beyond Carroll College. Parents and guardians, take pride in your child’s accomplishments and acknowledge the vital role you have played in guiding and supporting their journey. Your encouragement and involvement have been instrumental in shaping their growth and achievements.

On behalf of the MacKillop team and all MacKillop students, we wish all Year 12 the best for their HSC examinations and success beyond 2025.

I am on LSL until the beginning of Week 5 next term. If you have any concerns or need to pass on any information regarding your child/ren, please reach out to your child’s/children’s Homeroom teacher and/or Mr Ryan Bissell. E: Ryan.bissell@cg.catholic.edu.au
