Great work Mary MacKillop College Kensington

𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 80 𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙅𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙀𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙆𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙤𝙣!
Today, day 3 of JJAMM Week, we celebrated 80 years of Josephite secondary education in Kensington.
Did you know?
Mary MacKillop College is owned by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart and is situated across the road from the convent where some of the Sisters live.
Mary MacKillop lived and worked at Kensington for many years and she opened the first school here in 1872.
The College began (as St Joseph's Higher Primary) in the shadow of World War II in 1944 when secondary students, who had previously been taught at various Parish schools run by the Sisters of St Joseph, were brought together in Queen Street, Norwood.
In the first year 100 students were enrolled in classes from First Year to Leaving Honours. A few years later, the school's name was changed to St Joseph's High School and finally Mary MacKillop College in 1970.
