MacKillop Catholic College is an independent Roman Catholic co-educational college for Years 7 to 12 in the Hobart suburb of Mornington, Tasmania, Australia.[1] It is named in honour of the Australian educationalist, nun and co-founder of the Institute of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart, Mary MacKillop. The college also has an association with the Christian Brothers founded by Edmund Rice.[2] MacKillop and Rice are key sources of inspiration for the school community. MacKillop Catholic College is the only Catholic secondary college servicing Hobart's eastern shore. The current principal of Mackillop Catholic College, Brendan Gill was appointed the role after serving his time as Acting Principal. Brendan Gill is also known to the Mackillop Community as 'The Man of the People.'

The college is a member of the Sports Association of Tasmanian Independent Schools.[3]
