Mary MacKillop College, Nundah

TECHNOLOGIES ~
Our Developing Designer Spotlight features Ellie’s decorative tote bag design, inspired by our MMC value of Integrity.

MEDIA ~
Our Year 10 Media Arts & Year 11 Film, TV and New Media students visited QUT as a Screen and Media Gateway to Industry School.

Students experienced life as a tertiary student, engaging in practical workshops in Production Design, Animation, Studio Television Broadcasting and Virtual Production and learned about the pathways into the vast array of jobs available in booming Queensland screen industry.

The Screen and Media Gateway to Industry Schools project, delivered by Essential Screen Skills, encourages partnerships between industry, government, schools and their communities to build Queensland’s future screen and media workforce. MMC is very proud to be part of this program which lays the foundations for our MacKillop Women to gain valuable skills and knowledge before they walk out of the classroom.

SENIORS ~
The final countdown begins for our Year 12 seniors, with under 100 days left of their MMC journey. We wish them every success in their studies, exams, and the special experiences ahead.

Congratulations to Kathryn Flint on being selected as a finalist in the Australian Catholic University (ACU) Award for Excellence in Strengthening Catholic Identity at the 2026 Brisbane Catholic Education Excellence Awards.

Kathryn has been recognised for her commitment to living and promoting Catholic identity through her work, and for the thoughtful ways she fosters a strong sense of faith, meaning, and purpose. We are extremely grateful for Kathryn’s contribution to our MMC community and wish her the very best!

INTEGRITY ~
MMC Principal, Erin Wedge, had the privilege of participating in the Association of Josephite Affiliated Secondary Schools (AJASS) Principals Retreat in Hobart.

Walking in the footsteps of Julian Tenison Woods, the experience deepened connection to the Josephite charism he and Saint Mary MacKillop so courageously founded. In MMC’s Year of Integrity, the symbol of the tree resonated strongly through reflection, his writings, and time immersed in nature.

The gift of community was a highlight — walking alongside such remarkable AJASS principals was truly enriching, with their leadership, authenticity, and generosity fostering connection, friendship, and gratitude.

DA VINCI DECATHLON WINNERS ~
We’re so proud of our talented MMC students who recently competed in the prestigious Da Vinci Decathlon - an academic challenge spanning disciplines such as Engineering, Mathematics, Code Breaking, and Creative Producers.

Throughout the competition, our students demonstrated teamwork, perseverance and a strong sense of curiosity.

A special highlight was our Year 11 team, who achieved outstanding success on the day:
⭐️ Best Northside Girls School
⭐️ Best BCE School

A remarkable achievement - congratulations to all involved!

PACE ~

MINDFULNESS ~ Our remarkable Year 9 students took a moment to pause, breathe, and reset with Sound Off for Schools.
In this calming session, students explored simple ways to reconnect with the present moment, building strategies to regulate emotions and strengthen focus.

MUSIC ~
Our MMC Senior Music students experienced the high-energy stage adaptation of ‘Beetlejuice’ at QPAC.

Blending rock, comedy and musical theatre storytelling, the production enriched their current studies of narratives across screen and stage. Experiences like this deepen musical understanding and appreciation, bringing the impact of live performance to life beyond the classroom.

PACE ~
Our remarkable Parents and Community Engagement group fired up the Bunnings Virginia BBQ to raise money for our proposed student gym.
We are beyond grateful for the support of our PACE group and all that they do to enhance parent engagement and support student success within our MMC community.
