Mary MacKillop Regional College is a Catholic co-educational secondary college in South Gippsland. Situated in Leongatha, it serves the Catholic parishes of Foster, Korumburra, Leongatha, Cowes/San Remo and Wonthaggi. The College officially opened in 1986 after many years of planning on land adjoining St Laurence's Primary School. The beginnings were humble, in keeping with the first schools started in Australia over one hundred years ago by St. Mary of the Cross MacKillop. In 1987, Mary MacKillop College moved to its present site and now offers a comprehensive and high quality Years 7-12 curriculum that is committed to: - bringing the gospel of Jesus to life in the students entrusted to its care; - educating the whole person spiritually, morally, socially, intellectually, physically and emotionally; - promoting excellence in all endeavours; and - developing a welcoming Catholic faith community that inspires a passion for justice and service as lived by Mary MacKillop. It is our expectation that graduates of our College would be active witnesses to the gospel of Jesus, uphold Australian democratic values, participate in the civic life of Australian society and have the skills needed for lifelong learning.
