In the summer school holidays, 18 MacKillop students headed to France for a three-week adventure. During the trip, students explored Paris, which included visiting the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, walked to Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, chocolate factories and the catacombs. These were just a few of the many things the travelling party had the opportunity to see.
The students also visited the College’s sister school, Institution St Joseph, in Le Havre for 10 days, where the students stayed with host families and enjoyed attending school with them. As the trip came to a conclusion, the students said goodbye to St Joseph and Le Havre and headed west to the Bayeux Tapestry before spending the afternoon at Mont Saint Michel. After one more night in Paris, the students headed home via Singapore.
St Mary of the Cross MacKillop made the statement: “We are but travellers here, so while we are here we should do as much good as we can and live in peace with each other.”
With this in mind, the College respectfully acknowledges the Ngunnawal people who are the Traditional Custodians and First People of the land on which we gather each day. The College also pays its respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, and any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples living and working in the MacKillop community.
