Located centrally in Swan Hill, St Mary MacKillop College is a Catholic co-educational school with an enrolment of approximately 600 students from the Swan Hill, Balranald and Kerang regions. The school plays an important role in the wider community as the only Catholic secondary school in the immediate region.
In 2022, under the governance of the Diocese of Ballarat Catholic Education Limited (DOBCEL), St Mary MacKillop College purchased 6.7 hectares of land on Gray Street, Swan Hill. Through feedback from staff and students, this campus will be known as Penola Campus and will serve as the future site of the college with an anticipated opening in 2028. The new site is more than three times the size of the current grounds and will enable the development of purpose-built classrooms tailored for 21st-century learning.
The College’s core values are centred on knowing and living the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. It also maintains a strong commitment to the charism of Australia's first saint, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, and the Josephite Order.
St Mary MacKillop College strives to develop the potential of all community members by embracing the spiritual, academic, artistic, and sporting dimensions of school life. The college community is inclusive and recognises that all people are created in the image and likeness of God and are loved. We respect and value individuals of all faiths, genders, sexualities, and cultural backgrounds.
