In our fourth episode, we look back on 2022 at our favourite moments and memories while also looking forward into the new year. To share their thoughts, we’re joined by Year 12 students Neika Henson (Faith and Community Captain) and James Vandermee (Communications & Connections Captain), and our first ever Padua students on the Podcast, Alec McLennan and Savannah Apoderado.
We catch up with College Captains Maddie and Rohan to handover with our new College Captains for 2023, Alana and Billy.
Our performance guest is Year 9 student Ava Fradgley, who performs ‘The Coral Sea’ by Gillock on the piano. We also have games of ‘Finish My Sentence’ and we see how many questions we can get through in 60 seconds in our ‘Ask Me Anything’ speed round.
We bid farewell to the graduating class of 2022 and chat with them about their Year 12 results and plans after school.

St Mary of the Cross MacKillop made the statement: “We are but travellers here, so while we are here we should do as much good as we can and live in peace with each other.”
With this in mind, the College respectfully acknowledges the Ngunnawal people who are the Traditional Custodians and First People of the land on which we gather each day. The College also pays its respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, and any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples living and working in the MacKillop community.
