Saint Mary MacKillop Primary School is a Catholic co-educational school, located in the north western suburbs of Melbourne. The school serves the parish of St Mary of the Assumption, Keilor Downs. The school, with an enrolment of over 650 students, was established in 1984, under the patronage and in the spirit of Saint Mary MacKillop. It is committed to its vision 'Inspired by the Gospels and in the spirit of Mary MacKillop we never see a need without taking action'. We live and celebrate our Catholic faith. In and through positive relationships, we learn to be, to know, to do, to live together and to change. We are a community of life-long learners. Recently refurbished facilities include bright and comfortable classrooms, a library and esource centre, ICT laboratory, gymnasium, large and varied play spaces within a securely fenced site. An extensive curriculum ensures a thorough and individualised learning journey for all students. A commitment to the employment of highly qualified and passionate teachers, the purchase of relevant resources and the provision of time and learning opportunities, support the school as it strives to be a 21st century learning community.
