No. MacKillop offers an education founded on Catholic values, however we welcome students and families from all backgrounds, cultures and religious affiliations. Please note, however, that whilst we encourage broader cultural understanding, the religious aspects of our College life cannot be opted out of, and the choice to enrol with us is to be done in the full understanding that we are a Catholic organisation.
No. As a non-government College, our catchment area is not restricted by prescribed geographical boundaries. Students from anywhere are welcome to be part of our College. Find information on available buses here.
No. This plays no part in our enrolment process. We are happy to accept students of all abilities, from those who are struggling or have special learning requirements, to students who are gifted or display exceptional talent in an area that we can nurture. We value each student as an individual and will strive to give them everything they need to personally achieve to the best of their abilities, and grow in confidence during their time at MacKillop to fully prepare them for success in the world ahead. MacKillop is in fact an ideal choice if your son or daughter is struggling academically, as we have a renowned inclusion support department, amazing teachers, and a good reputation for our success in helping students of all abilities to reach their full potential.
Information about our fees is available from the Fees section of our website. The school has a policy of reducing fees where more than one child from a family attends MacKillop Catholic College, as well as providing concessions if a family has children in another Catholic school in the Northern Territory or for families struggling financially. We also offer a range of scholarships.
More information is available on the Uniform section of our website and in the enrolment package. Our uniform is sold at Lowes Gateway. Further information is being developed as we are currently in the process of updating our uniform.
Absolutely! Please contact us to arrange a tour. We can show you around individually, or else we also do regular organised tours. These are advertised in local media and also in our newsletter and social media pages, which may be good places to start.

Yes. The MacKillop Saints are not currently fielding teams in the local Rugby Union and Rugby League club competitions, and students are encouraged to support the local clubs. We encourage students to get involved in the MacKillop Saints, which currently provides a completely curriculum-embedded nationally recognised development programme that will complement your club training. In addition to the school-based academy programmes MacKillop offers a gym programme and excellent facilities, as well as the opportunity to play in school-based tournaments and representative selection.
