"Success doesn't just happen. It is a product of hard work, grit and ingenuity". ~Ogwo David Emenike

At Mary MacKillop Catholic College we have high expectations of our students. High expectations promote both students’ academic, sporting and cultural achievement, and their wellbeing. Research shows that the expectations of teachers, parents and peers affect students’ self-esteem, feelings of self-efficacy and their academic motivation. These motivational factors are strongly linked to learning and achievement.
