We took another important step today towards creating a positive, self-sustaining College culture. We launched our Alumni Association at our first ever Foundation Day.

A Mass alongside St Mary MacKillop Parish, Highfields was followed by the blessing of our inaugural Alumni Executive. Congratulations to President Elise Scrivens, Vice President Josie McQueen and Secretary Alex King. The College is excited to be walking alongside you to develop a mutual and beneficial College-Alumni relationship.

Alumni Association President, Elise Scrivens, said, "I am grateful to be able to contribute back to my college community that offered me endless opportunities in my role as President of the Alumni Association. Looking forward our vision for the Alumni Association is building a partnership with students that is not just a bridge between past and present but a powerful catalyst for mutual growth and success. With my fellow Alumni we strive to work with the students to offer inspiration and hope, reminding students of the height they can reach and the difference they can make in the community."

We then had a day of soccer. Huge thanks to the Year 5/6 teams who played the curtain raiser to the inaugural MMCC XI vs Alumni XI. The students ran away inaugural winners of the Donaugh Shirley Shield, named after the College’s foundation Principal.

We are creating traditions, and I look forward to Sunday, 10 August 2025, when we can gather alongside our Alumni again to celebrate our patron and our foundation.
