β Feast Day of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop β Today, the St Nicholas of Myra community gathered to celebrate the Feast Day of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop. Australia's first Saint holds a special place in our school's history, with Mary MacKillop and the Sisters of Saint Joseph serving at St Nicholas of Myra from 1880. Their legacy of faith, service and education continues to inspire our community today. Father Rojan reflected on Saint Mary MacKillop's words: "Do all you can with the means at your disposal, then calmly, leave the rest to God." A simple but powerful reminder to always do our best, trust in God, and live with faith each day. May we continue to follow the example of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop through our kindness, service and commitment to living in the way of Christ.

From attending a traditional schoolhouse and practising perfect handwriting on slate, to learning household chores, marching to the maypole, and discovering what life was like for children over 130 years ago, our students embraced every moment of this incredible hands on History experience. Enjoy these photos of our Stage 1 students as they stepped back in time and discovered what life and learning were like in 1889. What an unforgettable day of learning!
