Each year the Diocesan Cross Country is held at Eastern Creek International Raceway. This year we had over 30 students represent our school at this event.
This cross country course presents a significant challenge to all who complete at this event. In addition each age group has between 120 and 150 participants. Each our competitors acquitted themselves well and as always represented the school with great pride.
Five students qualified to represent MacKillop Zone at the NSWCPS Cross Country in June.

Bishop Vincent Long OFM Conv, Bishop of Parramatta, welcomed the announcement with prayerful optimism. 🥰 “Pope Leo XIV brings a missionary heart, shaped by decades serving among the poor in Peru. As an Augustinian, he will gift the Church and the world with a deeply contemplative spirit,” Bishop Vincent said. 🕊️ “I have met him on several occasions, as have many of the Augustinians in our Diocese who know him well. He is a humble, prayerful man, dedicated to Christ and steeped in the mystical charism of the Augustinian tradition and I pray that he will guide our church with renewed hope and joy during this challenging time,” he said. 👀 Read more in this Catholic Outlook story: ==>catholicoutlook.org/thrilled-and-in-awe-parramattas-augustinians-react-to-the-election-of-cardinal-prevost-osa-as-pope-leo-xiv Diocese of Parramatta![412906884192908_1129695632514026-1]()

As a school community rooted in faith and hope, let us embrace this joyful day with hearts full of gratitude. May the miracle of Easter inspire us to be people of kindness, compassion, and peace — living witnesses of the risen Christ in our classrooms, homes, and beyond.
