History
MacKillop Catholic College was part of a restructuring of Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Hobart during the early 1990s, although moves to establish a Catholic secondary school on the eastern shore of Hobart had begun in the 1960s.[4] During 1993 the Catholic Church purchased the site and buildings of Mornington Primary School, which had ceased operation as a state primary school at the end of 1992. MacKillop was opened on the site on 9 February 1994, with 59 students. By 2009 the enrolment has grown to over 500 students at the College.[5] Over the first ten years of the school's operation a staged building program was implemented, with the eighth stage completed in 2004.[5]
Houses
The school is named in honour of the Australian educationalist Mary MacKillop, and the works of MacKillop are the theme of the school houses: Kirby, Lochaber, Penola and Tenison.[6]
