Meet Our Teachers

Message from our Principal

Welcome to McAuley Catholic Central School (MCCS).

We are a proudly Catholic School operating as part of the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn.  McAuley has a rich history of educating boys and girls from the Tumut area since the Mercy Sisters established the school as St Brigid’s Girls School in 1882.  The Mercy Values handed down from Catherine McAuley and the nuns that followed are at the core of our ethos and promoted visibly as the cornerstones of our school culture.

As a K-10 school we offer a point of difference from other local schools.  We work in partnership with parents to mould the academic, social and spiritual growth of young people for 11 years.  This is a large portion of a student and family’s life.  This brings with it a long and proud tradition and a strong sense of belonging and school pride.  Our staff undertake this journey with care and with love.  Each student is unique and brings with them their own skills, talents and needs.  We work to communicate openly with parents and carers to create citizens who are willing and able to contribute positively to the life of the school and the local community.

Our School Motto “Believe, Strive, Achieve” gives us strong words on which to base our learning goals and interactions with one another.  These foundational words assist in enhancing a robust and positive school culture where hospitality and care for one another is paramount.  We aim (as Catherine McAuley also did) to build a community that “…renews, invigorates and warms others…”

I welcome your enquiries and look forward to sharing our school and classrooms with you.

McAuley Uniform

25 Jun 2021

In yesterday’s newsletter we published the uniform options for the revised McAuley Uniform.  This has been a long running task run by a small sub-committee of the Community Council.

Due to the change in meeting date we were unable to present these recommendations to the Community Council prior to publication at the end of term.

At last night’s Community Council Meeting there was good discussion and further refinement of the uniform options - which is an excellent result.  Our recommended uniform options are predominantly items we already have and are more functional and remain affordable.

Early next term there will be less confusing, very clear communication about the recommended uniform items moving forward.  We are also committed to keeping a stock of more “formal” uniforms for our student leaders and representatives to wear at school and community occasions.

I apologise for the continued uncertainty and wish all families a restful break.
