Mary Mackillop Week

We celebrate Mary MacKillop Week and her Feast Day on August 8th to honour Australia’s first canonized saint and her extraordinary legacy of compassion, grit, and devotion.

As the co-founder of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart, Saint Mary of the Cross dedicated her life to serving the poor, establishing free schools for isolated rural children, and creating shelters for the vulnerable across 19th-century Australia. Her Feast Day marks the anniversary of her passing in 1909, serving as a time to reflect on her courage in breaking social barriers and her guiding principle: “Never see a need without doing something about it.” Celebrating her life reminds us of the power of selfless service, resilience in the face of adversity, and making education accessible to all.

We look forward to an exciting week at Mary Mackillop.

Mr. Christopher Smith
Assistant Principal

CANTEEN NEWS

The new Term 3 CANTEEN MENU for 2026 is available on the MMCCPS website or alternatively if you require a hard copy, at the office or canteen. Please refer to this new menu ONLY, as many changes have taken place.

The canteen operates on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. To alleviate using money, Mary MacKillop Catholic Community Primary School has an online ordering system for canteen orders. All Online must be ordered by 8.30 am. This enables a more efficient and effective service available to you and your family. You can visit quickcliq.com.au to register.

All lunch/recess orders must be placed in classroom baskets before the class commences. They will then be taken to the canteen. If your child is late, they are to take the lunch order directly to the canteen.

All prepaid drink orders from Yrs 1-6 are to be collected by your child at the canteen with their lunch order bags as proof of purchase.

Ice creams are then sold after the students are dismissed from eating their lunch. If ice creams are pre ordered, the bag must be shown at the canteen when picking up the ice cream.

Please note, your child can purchase a drink or ice cream without pre ordering if they have money.

Parents, please do not allow your children to buy ice creams for their friends and large amounts of money should not be given to them. Thank you for your co operation in this matter.

If you wish to volunteer in the canteen please come and see me. We would like parents who have some spare time to come and help in the canteen to be a volunteer! It’s so rewarding for parents to see their children at school helping us.

If you have any queries, please come and see either myself or Kath and we will be happy to help. Regards,,

Sabrina Weale Canteen Manager
