In the season of Lent, we sometimes struggle to understand its meaning and purpose. Lent is not merely a tradition; it holds deep significance for Catholics. The term “Lent” traces back to Old English, where “lencten” meant springtime or lengthening of days. It symbolizes a spiritual spring—a time of growth and renewal. Some historians also rightly identify a strong historical imperative in Lent. The winter stores would have been running low for many by February, so an insistence on fasting from essential foods greatly served communities as they battled scarcity and waited for Spring growth.
It can be hard to apply that in Australia in late summer and autumn when so many of us don’t go without. I am very conscious though that some of us do. Historically, congregations supported one another during Lent. Lent is not a solitary endeavour; it’s a communal experience. You may want to think about how you as a family can engage with Lent in a way that provides a sense of community and also a way to serve others. At our College, we do service very well - and part of that service of the person walking alongside us is an authentic inquiry about their wellbeing and state of mind.
Today, please find someone you walk with and ask them how they are.
Thank you so much for your support of our Community.
Take care.
Mr Chris Gabbett
College Principal
Staff Profile: (Annabelle Perrignon)
Your official role at the College:
Music Teacher
What does a typical day really look like:
PC5 starts the day (shoutout to the best bunch of kids) I could be teaching any of my four subjects: mathematics, religion, humanities or music and/or taking a music group such as Primary choir which runs Wednesday mornings!
Primary School attended:
Mary MacKillop Catholic College as one of the founding students.
I completed all my primary schooling at MMCC from Year 1 - 7.
Secondary School attended:
Fairholme College
What do you like about working at Mary MacKillop?
Returning to my home community and being able to give back to a school and community that provided me so much while I was growing up. The community that I've met since returning: staff and students, are all incredibly supportive and just genuinely great people.
What are your hobbies/Interests?
Music, running and reading.
Other interesting facts about yourself or anything else you would like to share with the MMCC community:
I live on a cattle farm outside of town.
What is the main things you want your students to learn when studying your subject:
That everybody has a connection to Music. Whether it's what your parents played when you were a kid, your favourite TV show, or the album you love the most - everyone has a connection to it, and it's a part of everyone's lives.
How is your work related to the 6 Ps?Passion and Partnership:
I'm really passionate about music but more importantly equitable education. Every student has a right to a great education, and finding their place and success in their learning. Not everyone's educational journey is the same - but they are all equally as important, valued and worth the investment.

Walking the Kokoda Track to raise money for Winter Shelter in Toowoomba
In April, Charmaine Cridland will be walking the Kokoda Track to raise support and much needed funds for the Winter Shelter of Toowoomba.
Trekking the Kokoda Track, 96 kilometers in length through jungle, wind, rain and river is an experience you will never forget. It's a place in Australia's history in 1942 as you follow in the steps of the Australian forces and stand in history on these iconic sites while bonding with the local people whose families supported our diggers back then.
After completing this trek, the group will not only have paid respects to those who fought on this soil and the history that surrounds them. But, additionally, will be part of raising funds and awareness for those experiencing homelessness.
Your donation will go towards employing a support worker for the duration of the Winter Shelter specifically to assist guests in addressing their life challenges and housing barriers.
Charmaine would be thrilled to achieve her goal and provide much needed funds to those less fortunate and experiencing homelessness.
Please note that all funds are tax deductible and go directly to the Winter Shelter of Toowoomba. None of the money raised will go to funding any part of this trip. Companies in the community - sponsorship packages are available.
If you are interested in one of the sponsorship packages, please contact Charmaine Cridland via email
Thank you in advance for your support and consideration. Any donations will make a huge difference.

Planting Seeds
Jesus told this parable (as recounted in Matthew's gospel 13:1-9):
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
When we read this parable, at first, we think well of course the seed wouldn't grow when it lands on the path or in the rocky ground. Any gardener will tell you that! But when we think about why Jesus was telling this story we see a different picture. Jesus would tell parables to give a message to the listeners. the parable would always link to something they knew about as part of their world, but it would always have a hidden meaning. In this case the parable is telling the people about being listeners and that the messages will not always be heard and heard well.
I would like to challenge with this thought - what if the seed is our words and actions? At times we say and do things that are not life giving (seed landing on the path). At other times they may be shallow and not thoughtful (the rocky ground) and then at other times whatever we say just doesn't make a difference and is just words! However, when we use our words and actions to do kind, compassionate and thoughtful things, our words are healthy and make a difference to other people's lives. We build people up and they then are fruitful as well (seeds landing in good soil).
This Lent I challenge you to use your words and actions to make a difference to another person. Through your words and actions, you share your passion or create possibilities that enable others to know you care about them. It is a time when we look deeper at ourselves just like a gardener would pull out the weeds in the gardener to allow new plants to grow and be fruitful. Maybe the seeds, our words and actions, will be allowed to be fruitful as well.
Lent is a time when we are called to look deeper at our actions and words.
Lent is a time to fast from bitterness.
Lent is a time for serving others with open hearts.
Lent is a time to live with empathy.
Lent is a time to embrace humility.
Lent is also a time for sacrifice and prayer.
With March starting now, it is time to think about that autumn garden. What is happening in your garden?
During March we will celebrate two significant Saints - St Patrick and St Joseph. It is a tradition on St Patrick's day to plant sweet peas. Maybe you could think about your words and actions during this Lenten period as you plant the sweet pea seeds and look forward to the fruit - not only beautiful smelling flowers but being a better human being. Sow seeds of joy, hope, love, compassion and kindness!
I finish with a scripture quote from 2nd Letter of St Paul to the Corinthians: The point is this: the one who sows seeds sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. (2 Corinthians 9:6)
Autumn Garden - end of summer season.

Partnership Through Service
Last week, we were so excited to commence various service activities for Senior students during Friday sport time. Three activities were offered to interested Year 10-12 students (and there were many!).
Mr Cavanough, accompanied by ten Year 12 students, visited St Vincent de Paul and Family Assist where they worked served the Toowoomba community by cleaning, organising, and assisting staff with packages for those in need. This activity will alternate between Julia Street and the St Vincent de Paul Shop on Ruthven Street which is the location for Week 6. Importantly, our College works closely with St Vincent de Paul throughout the year, particularly with youth co-ordinator Julie Inskip. Each year, our College provides blankets, jackets, and Christmas gifts for patrons of St Vincent de Paul; additionally, we take interested Senior students to the UniSQ and Vinnies Youth Sleep Out in Winter. Futhermore, we provide the opportunity to interested Year 10 and 11 students to engage each year with the Ozanam Leadership Program–a St Vincent de Paul leadership program. We look forward to this continued partnership with Vinnies!
In addition to this service opportunity, we also kicked off Mary Mac Connect—a technology tutorial session for members of our Parish and surrounding retirement villages—run by a group of Year 10-12 students and teacher, Ms Manners. These sessions will run again next Friday (1st March) and Friday Week 8 (15th March), with the view to then re-commence in Week 2, Term 2.
Some examples of how students can work in partnership to help our visitors, include:
Installing Email Apps such as Outlook or Gmail onto phones;
Explaining Apps and how the App store works;
Using the camera and video function on phones and tablets;
Explaining and Teaching how to use Word, PowerPoint, Google Slides, Sway etc; and
Assisting with Social Media
Of course, more important than the technology tutorials was the opportunity for students to connect with members of our community and to share a cup of tea!
If you have a family member who is part of the Parish, or resides in a local retirement village, and you think they would like to attend these sessions, please contact Leisa Radley via email or call the College - 07 4698 7777.
Finally, we've also been restocking our freezers with meals for Healing Hands. Thank you to Mrs Puhakka and a small group of students who cooked up some delicious creamy chicken pasta bakes last week. I believe spaghetti Bolognese is on the menu for the next session in the kitchens. As always, if you know of a family in our community who is experiencing a hard time and may be in need some meals, please contact the College.

We can't wait for our service initiatives to continue in Week 6!

Prep -Year 2 Changes to the English Curriculum – What does this mean for your child’s reading journey?
Toowoomba Catholic Schools (TCS) has mandated a new approach to Reading called Diocesan Approach to Reading (DAR). This new initiative is a result of the changes in the new Version 9 Australian Curriculum. Consequently, we are currently transitioning to the evidence-based approach of the Science of Reading. Teachers have been involved in professional development to support the new changes. You will hear a lot about Decodable Readers Australia (DRA), a program TCS has supported the implementation of in our College. DRA will assist teachers to employ pedagogical strategies and practices behind the science of reading.
How does the Australian English Curriculum (version 9) define Reading?
· To decode and process words, symbols or actions to derive or construct meaning.
· It includes interpreting, critically analysing and reflecting on the meaning of written and visual, print and non-print texts.
The Version 9 English curriculum has a strong focus on phonemic (the ability to identify and manipulate the individual speech sounds in words called phonemes) and phonological awareness (knowledge of the relationships between letters and sounds, and the ability to use letter-sound relationships to decode words).
In addition, fluency (the ability to read accurately, quickly, and expressively. Fluent readers can focus on reading for meaning), vocabulary (knowledge of the meaning of words in isolation and in context), and comprehension (the ability to extract and construct meaning from written text), play equally important roles in developing reading ability.
A more complex breakdown of reading is demonstrated in Scarborough’s Reading Rope (Scarborough 2001), which illustrates the interconnectedness and interdependence of all the components of learning to read. Every child needs a strong foundation of language comprehension and word recognition which leads to a strong reading ability.
The consequence of this for classroom teachers is the way they teach reading. According to research around the Science of Reading, once a child has mastered both parts of the rope, they are then introduced to a decodable reader, typically in Term 2 of Prep. It is important to remember that a child’s reading journey is largely fostered by authentic texts. Decodable texts play a small, yet vital role in supporting a child to read. Please have a look at this video which promotes best practice when reading at home with your child. The following link will direct you to the TCS YouTube channel where the video is stored Read with me – parent/carer resource
The assessment that schools use has also changed to align with the requirements of the Australian Curriculum and TCS mandates.
PM testing P-2 has been replaced with what is called ToPAll and Sparkle.
ToPall 1 is conducted typically over weeks 8, 9 &10 of Term 1 (Prep & Year 1) and Term 2 (Prep)
Sparkle is conducted in Term 2 and Term 4 (Prep, Year 1 & Year 2)
ToPall 2 is conducted in Term 3 (Year 1)
Therefore, your child will no longer be assessed by a reading level but by their language comprehension and word recognition, which is directly aligned to the Australian Curriculum.
As always, if you have any questions, please make a time to meet with your child’s classroom teacher.

What's happening in the Higher Education Sector?
For those interested in what is happening in the Australian Universities and VET sector below is a summary taken from the most recent Australian Universities Accord. On the 25 February, this much anticipated Final Report was released by Hon Jason Clare MP containing 47 recommendations. If the recommendations from this document are applied, we could see a very different Higher Education landscape for our young people. To read the whole document use this link - Australian Universities Accord
The Australian Universities Accord is a long-term plan for reforming the higher education system in Australia. The main goal of the Accord is to grow and strengthen tertiary education in Australia so that all Australians have the opportunity to obtain the knowledge, skills and understanding to create and thrive in the jobs of the future.
The Accord proposes ambitious targets to increase the participation and attainment of tertiary education, especially for groups historically under-represented in higher education, such as First Nations people, people from low SES backgrounds, people with disability, and people from regional, rural and remote communities.
The Accord also recommends significant changes in the types of qualifications offered, the funding model, the student contributions and support, the research system, and the leadership and stewardship of the tertiary education sector.
The document recommends expanding Commonwealth supported places, developing a national student charter and ombudsman, directing some of the Student Services and Amenities Fee to student-led organisations, and agreeing to not issue early at-school offers before September (Recommendations 16-20).
It also recommends best practice on-campus, online and hybrid teaching, professional development for teaching staff, and a strengthened international education system with higher quality courses and more diversified markets. (Recommendations 21-23).
The document recommends establishing an Australian Tertiary Education Commission, improving workforce capability and capacity, establishing a Centre of Excellence in Higher Education and Research, conducting a survey on racism, commissioning a First Nations-led review, increasing First Nations representation, developing a data capability, addressing the diversity of providers, creating a pathway for TAFEs, creating a new needs-based funding model, establishing a Higher Education Future Fund, and outlining a staged approach to implementation (Recommendations 30-47).
According to the report, the responsibility for implementing the recommendations will be shared by the Australian Government, the state and territory governments, the higher education sector, and other stakeholders.
The recommendations from the report aim to improve the quality, accessibility, and relevance of vocational education and training (VET) in Australia. Some of the potential effects of these recommendations are:
* More opportunities and support for students who want to pursue VET.
* Improved quality and diversity of teaching and learning in VET.
* Establishing an Australian Tertiary Education Commission, improving workforce capability and capacity.
* A simpler funding and skills matching model, developing a new needs- based funding model.
* A faster and more flexible qualification development process and allowing short form credentials to be recognised and funded.
These recommendations, if implemented, could have a positive impact on the VET sector and its stakeholders, such as students, employers, providers, and researchers. They could also help Australia meet the current and future skills needs of the economy and society.

Things are going Swimmingly!
Summer and swimming are synonymous in Queensland. The students of Mary Mac have been engaged in a number of Swimming Carnivals this term, which all culminate today with the Queensland Combined Independent Schools Swimming Carnival. The QCIS is an association of six schools (Mary Mac, TAS, Concordia, Scots Warwick, Downlands, and OLSSC Dalby) that aims to provide schools with an opportunity for regular competition. Today we have students from Year 3 to 12 at Dalby competing in the swimming carnival. Carnivals later in the year will include Cross Country, Track and Field, Rugby 7s, Netball, and Futsal. The points from each sport are added together and a trophy given to the winning school at the end of the year. It is an honour to be asked to represent your College at any event, so we encourage students to strive for their best at all school carnivals to gain selection to QCIS teams.
Catholic Schools Swimming Carnival
We took a team of 24 students to the Catholic Schools Swimming Carnival a few Fridays ago at The Glennie School. It was a fun day which focuses on participation and building community within the Catholic schools in our region. The College was commended on the behaviour of our athletes and the manner in which they conducted themselves both in and out of the pool.
Inner Downs and Darling Downs Swimming Carnival
10-12 Years Swimmers participated at the Inner Downs Swimming Carnival last week in Pittsworth. Mary Mac swimmers had a good night with 8 progressing to the Darling Downs Carnival. A further 5 Senior College students (13-19 Years) joined them at the annual Darling Downs Swimming Trials. Many PBs were recorded by our swimmers with medals going to Lucas Ward and Erin O'Rourke. A huge congratulations to Erin O'Rourke who was selected in the DD team to contest the Queensland School Sport Championships in Brisbane in March.
Senior College Swimming Carnival
Following the success of the Junior College carnival, our Senior College staff and students travelled to Milne Bay for their turn in the water. It was encouraging to see many students involved in the competitive races, however, overall attendance was down on previous years.
At the end of the day, there could only be one winner, with Penola rising to the top of the podium! Many congratulations to our Age Champions.
Cross Country
Our Junior College Cross Country will be held on Wednesday, 27 March, the Senior College on Friday, 26 April. Students wishing to represent the College at the QCIS Cross Country Carnival will need to finish in the Top 6 of their races. On another note, Year 7 students who turn 12 in 2024 are eligible to compete at the 10-12 Years Inner Downs Cross Country Trials early Term 2. Students wishing to access this pathway will need to run at the Junior College Carnival. Please note, these students are not eligible for House Points or Age Champions. They are merely competing for the right to access the representative pathway. Any students wishing to take up this option needs to contact Mr Griffiths so that arrangements can be made.
Training is available for Junior College students with Mrs Campbell on Tuesday mornings from 7:30am to 8:10am. It is great to see a lot of younger students attending. Students meet at the MacKillop Centre and a change of socks is recommended!
In 2024, the MMCC Primary choir is under the direction of Ms Annabelle Perrignon. Annabelle is a founding student of the college (she was in the first year 1 class here at MMCC back in 2003) and has been teaching in Sydney since 2020, at North Sydney Girls High School and Ingleburn High School.
Annabelle is a trained vocalist, pianist and guitarist and has been singing (and working with) choirs since her days here in Primary school. The aim of primary choir this year is to have fun, learn music and practice ensemble skills. So far this term Primary choir has grown exponentially from week to week and the choir looks forward to sharing its music with the college community in 2024.
Primary choir is on Wednesdays from 7:30 - 8:15am in Emanuel Solomon 3.
Hope to see you there!
