We are now in the middle of one of the most important weeks of the year for our community, which is of course Mary MacKillop Week. Mary MacKillop is a very important person for us as she was the person who started Catholic Education in Australia when she opened her first school in Penola, South Australia, in a converted stable on 19 March 1866. We actually have a small wooden cross in the staffroom which is made from the timber in that first building. One of the things I love most about this community is how everyone lives out her famous quote of, “Never see a need without doing something about it”. There are many needs in our community, and everyone is working hard to meet those needs for the benefit of the students in our care.
