One of the most important decisions to make in life is your child’s education and that’s why choosing the right school takes time.
Located in Penola in the heart of the South East, Mary MacKillop Memorial School offers a holistic education that nurtures the whole child.
We care about providing your child with an enriching learning environment where they will gain values for life.
Our innovative Woods Learning Centre is a dedicated space to run specialised art, mathematics, and science classes.
Additionally, our Kitchen Garden program teaches learners about sustainability and environmental stewardship, fostering a deep connection with nature and respect for our planet.
As part of our commitment to building educational foundations, we offer three educator-led early years programs tailored to support young learners:

These programs are focused on developing your child’s critical early life skills.
Designed to support your child’s growth, we provide continued care in their educational journey; from fostering a love of learning in the early years to supporting their transition into high school.
A unique advantage of Mary MacKillop Memorial School is our guaranteed entry to Tenison Woods College, Mount Gambier.
