Saint Mary MacKillop Colleges, Wagga Wagga was founded in 2007 by Bill and Joanne Andrews as an independent school in the Catholic tradition.
​
Many had become increasing concerned about the state of Catholic education and saw a need for a school dedicated to sound Catholic formation and solid academic teaching.

After extensive prayer and consultation with priests, religious and interested laity, Bill and Joanne came to believe that the venture was in accord with God’s Will. Several public meetings were held to gauge public interest and the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic and lay teachers agreed to teach in the school.
​
​With the permission of the Bishop of Wagga Wagga, Saint Mary MacKillop Colleges opened on the Feast day of St John Bosco, Patron of Schools, 31th of January, 2007.
​
By the grace of God and the prayers and support of the school community and beyond, the student numbers are now over 100 and continue to grow steadily each year.
​
While the full effectiveness of Saint Mary MacKillop Colleges, Wagga Wagga is known only to God, the school has an important role in the growth and renewing of the Catholic Church in Australia and of society as a whole.
