like an outsider. Instead, the school seeks to maintain ongoing support—from first introduction to graduation and beyond—so families feel known, connected, and guided. STAFFING FOR GROWTH AND INCLUSION MacKillop currently employs around 180 staff, including teaching and non-teaching roles. As the school grows, Mrs. Appleby anticipates expansion across multiple areas: more transition and accompaniment personnel, increased operational capacity to support a larger student body, and importantly, a stronger focus on inclusive education. The next phase of staffing is expected to include more learner diversity teachers to support students who are neurodiverse or have complex learning needs, as well as those who will thrive through alternative pathway programs like New Horizons. The overarching strategy is capacity-building—not only for students, but for staff as well—because the demands of contemporary education increasingly require agility, flexibility, and broader learning delivery skills than traditional role definitions once required. CATHOLIC IDENTITY AND FAITH FORMATION AS THE MORAL CENTER As a Catholic school, MacKillop’s mission is inseparable from faith formation and values-based education.
