Celebrating our saint

The life and legacy of Australia’s first and only saint, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, will be celebrated on her feast day this month.

Mary MacKillop College held transition days for incoming Year 7 students who were encouraged to take a photo of their new friends at the ‘flower wall’. Principal Kath McGuigan and CESA director Neil McGoran also popped in for a ‘keepsake’ snap.

The start of the 2019 school year next month will also herald new beginnings for Catholic education in South Australia as Year 7 becomes part of secondary schooling.

Striving for truth in the world of science

Adelaide-raised scientist Professor Waltraud (Trudy) Kriven has spent most of her adult life in the United States, making a name for herself in the field of high tech ceramics. But she says her success would not have been possible without the invaluable life lessons from her parents and the Josephite Sisters.
