Welcome to Catherine McAuley College Mackay
Catherine McAuley College is a Catholic co-educational school that welcomes and supports all students. We began our journey with our first cohort of Year 7 students in 2022 and will grow into a full Year 7 to 12 college by 2027. We honour our past while looking ahead to an exciting future – building on a tradition of faith, innovation, and intellectual endeavour.
RUOK? DAY AT OUR COLLEGE: SPREADING KINDNESS & CONNECTION
Yesterday, our school community came together to celebrate RUOK? Day - a powerful reminder that a simple check-in can make a world of difference.
To mark the occasion, our students were invited to write a positive note or words of affirmation in exchange for a sweet treat. After all, a delicious cupcake always brings a smile to someone’s face!
These thoughtful messages of encouragement and wisdom were displayed amongst the trees near the Catherine McAuley monument and across the windows of our Student Services Hub in Beta Block. Now, students can pause, read through their peers' inspiring words, and draw strength or advice whenever they need a little boost.
A Small Conversation Can Change a Life - While RUOK? Day gives us a special moment to focus on mental health, checking in on those around us isn't just an annual event as RUOK? day is every day. Whether it’s a classmate sitting next to you, a friend in the school yard, or a work colleague, taking a moment to ask "Are you OK?" and genuinely listening can be the baseline of support someone needs.
Let’s keep these meaningful conversations going all year round. Who will you check in on today?

The creative challenge involved designing a House Shield, with the winners to be announced in Week 10.
Well done to all students for their teamwork, creativity and house spirit throughout the competition!

EXPLORING THE BRAIN
Year 10 Health and Psychology students recently took part in a sheep brain dissection, giving them a hands-on look at key structures including the brain stem, grey matter, and the "tree of life" within the cerebellum.
This engaging lesson sparked plenty of curiosity, discussion, and a deeper understanding of how the brain works.
