Aspire MCC Student leadership

At MacKillop, we help all our students develop leadership skills through formal leadership roles and practical leadership opportunities. Students relish the opportunity to make decisions, take on responsibility and have an input into the direction of our School. So too, our teachers value student agency and the opinions of the many young and creative minds they are guiding.

Student Parliament members are nominated and selected annually by peers and staff.

Students are actively encouraged to contribute to the life of the College by taking on leadership roles. MacKillop Catholic College provides a student leadership program for students to develop their confidence and skills including:

• College Captains and Vice Captains together with Student Portfolio leaders.
• Student Parliament, which provides both a voice to students and an opportunity for leadership in Wellbeing, Mission, Social Justice, House/Sport, Youth Ministry, Culture and Student Representative Council (SRC)
• Student awards program for all grades and special awards for Years 10 and 12 reflecting academic achievement, involvement in the Life of the College, Sport and Christian Leadership
• The Josie Mitchell Public Speaking and Debating competitions
• Hosting program for students from sister school, Nikon University Daiichi Junior and Senior High School, Japan
