Welcome back to our established College families and a very big welcome to those new to our community.
One of the unseen graces of working in a school is the gift of a reset. Unlike most professions, education moves in beautifully defined seasons. Each year, every learner and every adult—Prep students taking their first steps into big school, Year 12 students preparing for their final chapter, teachers returning with renewed purpose—begins again at the same moment. It is a wonderful rhythm that reminds us that growth is not only possible but actually essential, and that God’s spirit is constantly making things new.
In Catholic education, this shared reset is more than a calendar event; it is a theological one. We believe in a God who walks with us, who invites us into renewal, and who sees potential long before we do. As we open the year together, we recognise that every student is entrusted to us anew. Whatever last year held—successes, struggles, or unfinished business—does not define them. Together, we start from hope. A blank slate to write a compelling story.
For staff, this reset reminds us that our vocation is dynamic and our calling constant. We, too, are continuous learners in faith and leadership. The year ahead will ask for creativity, patience, courage, and compassion. Working in a school always asks for those things.
My prayer is that this new beginning draws us deeper into community, into purpose, and into the ongoing joy of calling forth the gifts of our young people.
I wish you and your family all the very best for 2026.

Deputy Principal's Report
What we can learn from the failure of 'Bazball'
It is wonderful to have the College Community bustling with excitement, nerves and anticipation as we begin the 2026 Academic Year.
I do hope that families were able to enjoy time with one another and managed to factor in some relaxation and respite in amongst the chaos of the holiday festivities.
It’s probably important to recognise the crushing defeat of the England Cricket Team during the Ashes. It was a very exciting Test series with plenty of runs, plenty of catches (by Australia anyway), some controversy (damn you snicko!), and some outstanding bowling by Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland in particular. Despite the 4-1 scoreline, I genuinely felt England had plenty of chances in the series, but when it came down to it made repeated and avoidable errors.
You know my articles by now so it will come as no surprise that England’s failings can lead to wonderful learning for us all and our students:
1. Planning and Preparation: A lot was made of England’s poor planning and preparation. Very little time to adjust to the conditions and only one
practice match prior to Perth. Then the opportunity to play a Day/Night practice in Canberra as a result of an extra 3 days post the first test which was not taken. I am teaching Year 8 wellbeing and lesson one is on ‘executive functioning’ – getting organised, managing time, and planning being three core aspects of this.
It’s rare for ‘big events’ to catch us off guard these days and with digital calendars, assessment overviews, CANVAS and daily notices, students need to properly Horizon Scan and get prepared early for what is to come – not show up in unfamiliar conditions and wonder why you fall apart after day one. As parents we can help too by printing out calendars, having a family calendar and checking in with our young people daily about how preparations are going.
2. Replicated practice/ being flexible: The English media were especially perplexed by the insistence of Baz and Ben that the ‘plan’ that had been pre-organised must be stuck too – hence the Noosa trip and endless net sessions.
Although in point 1 I talk about planning – we also need to be aware that plans sometimes need adapting when the reality of the situation becomes apparent. That’s why practice is important for our young people and why we need to create the opportunity and environment for them to practice properly.
3. Managing impulsivity: Harry Brook, Jamie Smith and every opening batsman for England failed to manage their impulsivity time and time again in the Ashes series. They lacked self-control (Ben Duckett also failed in Noosa as social media made all too clear!) and more frustratingly KEPT on doing the same thing regardless of repeated negative outcomes.
The famous quote attributed to Einstein that ‘the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results’ is pertinent here as the first step to self-control is recognising the issue. If our young people make mistakes then that is part of life. If they keep making the same mistake again and again and can’t see that there is a problem – then we all need to rally around and figure out a plan.
4. Showboating: Travis Head was pretty spectacular and some of Smith’s catches were out of this world. But Australia won primarily because they did the basics REALLY well. The bowlers bowled accurately, relentlessly and showed tremendous patience. The batsman often let balls go for long periods of time until the conditions of the ball or light or pitch allowed them to strike and put England to the sword.
Hard work and effort outperform talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Students are often talented, gifted, clever – some are labelled this way because they consistently get great results. Others show glimpses of brilliance. Flair, creativity, improvisation are all values to admire but so are determination, graft and playing the long game.
Of course, I fully expect England to smash Australia in the 150th Test next year in Melbourne before a 5-0 demolition back in Blighty 2027 (they say it’s the hope that kills you) but until then I will reflect on what Australia did so well and England did so poorly this time around to see what we can all learn.

Important Notice Regarding Fee Calculator Error
This week, we became aware of an IT issue affecting the fee calculator on our website. This issue impacted the spreadsheet generated for families with more than one student attending the College, resulting in the Capital Building Fund Levy being incorrectly calculated and capped at $1,025.00 per family, instead of the correct amount of $1,050.00 as outlined in the Schedule of Fees.
The issue has now been resolved, and the fee calculator is functioning correctly. However, families who used the calculator to estimate their 2026 fees prior to Thursday, 28 January will have an outstanding balance of $25.00 at the end of the year.
We kindly ask that payment plans not be amended. If you believe you are affected, please arrange for the additional payment of $25.00 to be paid to the College before the end of the year.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Accounts Team via email.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by this IT error and appreciate your understanding.

Back to School Boost
I write to update you on the new Queensland Government cost of living initiative called the Back to School Boost. This program provides $100.00 per student each year for the next four years for Prep to Year 6 students at both state and non-state schools. This only applies to these year levels and at present there is no funding for Senior School students.
The purpose of this funding is to offset school related costs. As a non-state school, the Queensland Government has instructed that we determine the best way to support our families to use this funding. In consultation with the Toowoomba Catholic Schools Office, it has been decided that they will be applied to reducing 2026 school fees.
The $100.00 per student funding will appear as a credit on your Term 2 school fees statement, reducing this invoice by the eligible amount. For further information please visit the Queensland Government webpage - $100 Back to School Boost | Back to School | Queensland Government
Should you have any questions about this funding or your account, please email our Accounts Department.

Mission & Identity
Turning Mission Impossible into Mission Possible
As we welcomed our students back for the new school year, our community gathered for a Welcome Mass centered on a theme that sparked curiosity and excitement: Mission Impossible. But rather than focusing on daring stunts or secret agents, we reflected on the kind of “mission” Jesus calls each of us to in the Gospel of Matthew (25:31–40).
In this Scripture, Jesus speaks of the final judgement—reminding us that whenever we feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, care for the sick, or show kindness to the least among us, we are doing these things for Him. At first glance, this mission of constant compassion can feel overwhelming—impossible, even. Yet Jesus assures us it is in the simple, everyday acts of love that His presence is found.
During the Mass, Bishop Ken Howell encouraged students to consider the year ahead as an opportunity to accept their own “mission”—to notice the needs around them and respond with courage, kindness, and a willingness to serve. The idea that while one person alone might feel limited, together we can transform the seemingly impossible into something truly achievable. This is the heart of our Catholic identity: to see Christ in every person and to act with love.
The theme also encouraged students to think creatively about how they can be agents of hope in our College—whether through welcoming new classmates, offering a helping hand, or standing up for someone who needs support. These small but meaningful gestures are the very actions Jesus highlights in the Gospel.
As we begin this new year, we pray that our students continue to grow as people of mission—young people who understand that their faith is not just something they believe, but something they live. May they have the courage to take on challenges, the compassion to serve others, and the confidence to know that with God, no mission is impossible.
We look forward to a year filled with possibility, growth, and grace.
Paula O'Rourke Assistant Principal Mission and Identity
In a blink of an eye, the holiday break is over and we've hit the ground running! Term 1 is always a busy one and our term has begun with such positive energy. How great it is that we have so many opportunities for our students to engage in the mission of the College and in social justice initiatives. Keep reading to find out what's coming up this term and how you can support your children to be witnesses to their faith at Mary Mac.
Footsteps of Jesus Service Learning Program
In Term 3 last year, we launched the Footsteps of Jesus Service Learning program. Service Learning is a crucial pillar of Catholic education, whereby students are not only encouraged to use their gifts, talents and willingness to serve to the community, but are also given a chance to engage in experiences of 'encounter'. Described by Brother Damien Price, service is "intimately linked to the culture of encounter" that was so frequently promoted by the late Pope Francis. Importantly, when we "come as guest" into an encounter, it should be a reciprocal relationship that "focuses on the innate dignity of the one encountered" in a way which liberates both parties.
When our students engage in service, whether it is volunteering their time to coach a touch football team, lead a choir or attending the Rosies' outreach, they are often encountering the vulnerable, and enhancing their quality of life. Importantly, when students have completed their hours of service, intentional reflection needs to occur, so that they deepen their understanding of Service Learning. Reflection creates the space for meaning-making to occur and for students to explore where they experienced God in their encounters.
This brings us to the "Footsteps of Jesus" Service application. Within the next fortnight, once student data has been loaded into the program, students at MMCC will be able to access the link which is located in two places: on the Student Intranet and on the Student Sentral Landing Page.
Please use this user guide to find out more about the Footsteps of Jesus Service Learning Program and how it works.
Rosies–Friends on the Street Outreach
Rosies Outreach is a service activity which is available to all students who are over the age of 16. This week, all Year 10-12 students have been emailed about the opportunity to add their name to the Rosies roster, undergo the brief training provided at school, and then begin to attend this outreach. MMCC is allocated a once-a-month place on the Rosies roster to attend outreach at Harlaxton Park. While our students are asked to get their own transport to and from the venue, they will be met by MMCC staff and Rosies staff who will support them during the outreach.
Outreach and charity are a part of social justice; seeking ways to support the vulnerable is key to our Catholic, Josephite mission. It is also a wonderful way to engage in conversation with staff and other students who attend the outreach and "come as guest" to people who are doing it tough in our community. If your child is over 16, or close to turning 16, please have a chat to them about the importance of serving others and considering volunteering for Rosies this year. If your child is interested in undergoing the Rosies training, please encourage them to fill in the form sent via email this week.
Service Activities During Sport
While our "Friday" sport day has moved to a Wednesday, that doesn't mean that our Service Activities have stopped. From Week 6, when sports and service activities start up for the term, students in Year 7-12 will again be able to select from visits to Brownesholme aged care, MacMates in the Junior School and cooking for Healing Hands.
These service options are a fantastic way for Senior students to be the hands, feet and body of Christ and to seek to serve others. We are always keen to add new service initiatives, so if you or your child have a great outreach or service project, please don't hesitate to let us know!
AMMA Group
This week we will hold our first AMMA Group meeting for 2026. All are welcome! AMMA stands for Actioning Mary MacKillop's Advocacy and it is a social justice group for Year 6 to 12 students. This group has been running since 2019 and, at last count, we had about 17 members. As a group, we focus on charity and outreach, looking for ways to run events in our own College, or visit and support communities outside of the College.
It would be wonderful to have some more Year 7-9 students join our group, so if you know your child/ren are social-justice minded and like to stand in solidarity with, or advocate for, the vulnerable or marginalised, please remind them that they are welcome to come along to our next AMMA meeting to see what the group is all about. It's worth noting too that students who complete service hours for the AMMA group are able to record their hours in the Footsteps of Jesus Service-Learning program.

Upcoming Shrove Tuesday Celebrations
Tuesday, 17 February (Week 4) is Shrove Tuesday. Importantly, the term "Shrove Tuesday" derives from the act of Anglo-Saxon Christians confessing their sins before Lent, thus being “shriven” of them. Of course, there are many other names for this important day which we celebrate in the Catholic tradition, including Fat Tuesday (or Mardi Gras in French) and Pancake Tuesday. No matter what we call it, this is the final day before Ash Wednesday and the commencement of Lent.
Throughout the centuries it’s become tradition for people to eat pancakes to mark the beginning of Lent to use up ingredients that they wouldn’t be allowed to eat during the 40-day period, which is how Pancake Day obtained its name.
At Mary MacKillop Catholic College, students partake in various activities on Shrove Tuesday. These are outlined below. Further information via EdSmart will be sent to families in the coming week, regarding purchasing pancakes and Junior students' participation in Carnivale.
Junior School
Carnevale
This year, students in Prep to Year 6 will continue the MMCC tradition of celebrating Carnivale (or Carnevale) by wearing brightly coloured or glittery masks to school on Shrove Tuesday. Our Junior School students have done a fantastic job of donning these masks over the past few years. We can't wait to see your wonderful masks!
Senior School
House Pancake Relays
While the Senior School students won't participate in wearing masks for Carnivale this year, we look forward to continuing some traditions of the past, including the annual House Pancake Relays in Ignatius at first break!. Details about these competitions will be provided for Senior School students, via morning notices and emails, in the coming weeks.
Whole College
Pancake purchases
The College Cafe will again be selling pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. Students can purchase one pancake with butter and jam for $2.20. Importantly, 20c will go to Project Compassion for each pancake purchased by our students. There will be a limited number available and pancakes will be for sale via Flexischools only. Please keep an eye on your emails for more information about purchasing.
The pancakes are available at first break to students from Prep to Year 12.
The beginning of Project Compassion
From Ash Wednesday, students in their Junior School classes and Senior Pastoral Care groups will be called to considered what they can both give up or sacrifice, or what they can do for others during the 40 days of Lent. Junior School families will be provided with Project Compassion donation boxes.
In Senior School, students are encouraged to donate to their Pastoral Care Project Compassion box. As always, families can also donate via the online donation link found on the side of the Project Compassion boxes.
We look forward to celebrating Shrove Tuesday and observing the beginning of Lent, which is one of the most important traditions on our Liturgical calendar.

Students and families are encouraged to contact the relevant Learning Support Teacher at any time throughout the year for assistance, guidance, or support.
Starting the Year Strong: Establishing Routines
With the beginning of the school year upon us, emotions can often run high for students and adults alike. Setting up consistent routines at home can significantly support a smooth transition back into school life. A few helpful tips include:
Evening Routines
Establish a consistent bedtime to ensure students are well rested.
Prepare uniforms, lunches, and school bags the night before.
Allow time for calm, tech-free winding down—reading, quiet play, or gentle music.
Talk through the next day so students feel prepared and confident.
Morning Routines
Wake up at the same time each day to create predictability.
Build in enough time for breakfast, personal care, and a calm start.
Use visual timetables or checklists to help younger children stay on track.
Encourage students to take responsibility for small tasks such as packing their bag.
Thank you for your continued support
We truly value the partnership we share with our families and appreciate the trust you place in us each year. Your support, encouragement, and collaboration make a significant difference in your child’s learning journey.
We are looking forward to working closely with you throughout 2026 and ensuring every student feels confident, supported, and ready to thrive.
Mrs Amy Dwyer Middle Leader Personalised Learning
Senior School
CSYMI
Our Year 7 and 8 students recently participated in the Catholic Schools Youth Ministry Australia (CSYMA) retreat—a day designed to strengthen their faith, build community, and inspire them to live out the core Gospel values in their everyday lives. This year’s theme, “The Amazing Race,” encouraged students to see their journey of faith as an adventure filled with challenges, teamwork, discovery, and growth.
Just like participants in the well‑known race, our students explored different “checkpoints” throughout the day, each focusing on a key Christian value: love, forgiveness, and hope. These stations invited students to pause, reflect, and respond to how these values shape who we are and who God calls us to be.
Throughout the day, students watched videos, engaged in dialogue, participated in games before writing a reflective letter to God based on the values of love, forgiveness and hope. This letter will be reviewed at the end of the year.
The day concluded with prayer and a message that each student is invited to continue their own “Amazing Race” beyond the retreat—living out love, practicing forgiveness, and holding onto hope in every part of daily life. Students placed their thumb print on a canvas as a sign of commitment to the year.
Across the year, every student will also engage in an elective unit that focuses of the ministry of the gospel, practical action, and progressing their journey of faith.
We are incredibly proud of the way our Year 7 and 8 students embraced the experience with energy, openness, and joy. We look forward to seeing how they carry these values into the year ahead.

Your Pathway
Your Pathways Team
For all the families that are new to MMCC - welcome! At Mary Mac we offer Careers Education to our Year 7 and 8 students and meet with Years 9-12 throughout the year. We believe that Career Education and Guidance empowers Senior students to understand themselves, explore future possibilities, and make informed decisions about their learning and work pathways. It helps young people build the skills they need to navigate a rapidly changing world—such as goal‑setting, problem‑solving, self‑awareness, and adaptability.
This guidance is relevant to all Senior students because every young person benefits from discovering their strengths, understanding emerging opportunities, and developing the confidence to transition smoothly into Senior schooling, training, further study, or employment. Career education ensures every student can imagine and plan for a positive, purposeful future.
We have a dedicated Pathways team - Mrs Andrea Goddard (Career Development Practitioner), Mr Christopher Bracken (Dean of Senior Studies) and Mrs Christie Richardson (Career Support Officer). We have an office located just outside the student entrance to the Senior Administration building. Please feel free to drop in at any time with any question!
Work Experience (WEX) Year 10 in 2026
We are strongly encouraging the Year 10 cohort to start the search for Work Experience placements. WEX is a non-paid experience. Year 10 students in 2026 will be able to access WEX throughout the Easter holidays and the first week of Term 2.
Week 1 Term 2 - Monday, 20 - Friday, 24 April (5 days)
Mrs Goddard, Mrs Richardson or a teacher will visit each student during their placement.
The placement needs to be within 45minutes of Highfields/Toowoomba.
Students have received a copy of the WEX form. This needs to be completed by the employer, the student and the parent. Once this is completed, please return your form to The Pathways Office. This form allows for students to be covered for insurance whilst on placement.
Throughout Term 1 we will be catching up with the Year 10 students to see how they are progressing with their organisation and what the world of work will look like for them when attending WEX.
Congratulations to all Year 12's on completing 13 years of schooling! Our students have excelled and we wish them all the best for the future.
Mrs Andrea Goddard and Mrs Christie Richardson Your Pathway Team
Junior School
Junior Library
We are very excited to be back in the Library and will welcome all Junior classes for regular visits from Week 2.
Each Junior class is timetabled weekly to browse and borrow books from our collections. Students are encouraged to borrow a variety of books which are 'just right for them' in regard to topic, interest and reading level. These visits also have a Literature or Information Literacy focus, where depending on the year level curriculum, topics such as story elements, author style, how to research relevant and accurate information for a class assignment and appropriate use of AI may be discussed.
Your child's teacher will advise you of your regular borrowing day and we encourage students to organise their library books the previous evening so that all books are returned on their due date. Prep and Year 1 borrow their books for 1 week, while Year 2-6 students borrow for 2 weeks. Years 2-6 are encouraged to re-borrow loans if they require more time to finish their reading and may also reserve books if unavailable at their borrowing time.
Most importantly we want our students to be excited about books and reading by introducing new stories, topics and authors and revisiting old favourites. Student choice is crucial to promoting reading and we actively encourage students to make recommendations for new titles for the collections.

Christmas/Summer Vacation Care - Mary MacKillop OSHC
Our Christmas/Summer Vacation Care was an absolute blast! We had many exciting experiences over the holidays such as three excursions; one we went to the cinemas to watch Zootopia 2, the second we travelled to another school to participate in our TCKC Fun Day, and our third excursion we went back in time to Bulls Head Inn to experience life in the 19th Century.
On top of our three excursions, we decorated our Christmas tree, made and ate gingerbread men, cooled off with many water play days (water slides, water guns, water balloons), rode around on our bikes and scooters, engaged in nerf gun battles, experimented with slime, performed in front of our friends with our own instruments in our service talent show, made tree houses out of cut down branches, and many more fun experiences!
Please see below for some exciting photos that were snapped over the holidays!
