Our school was founded in 1954 by the sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart, who are often referred to as the ‘brown Joes’ for their distinct habit. Saint Mary MacKillop founded this order, hence the MacKillop sayings that encapsulate our school values. Mary MacKillop’s feast day is celebrated on 8th August and we will have a special liturgy at school on this day.
Just as you did it to one of the least of these you did it to me.

Whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all.

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
