SPORT PROGRAMS
Mackellar Girls Campus can boast a proud record of individual and group achievement. This was highlighted by our school being named the Champion Sports School in the whole Sydney North Region (from North Sydney to Wyong) in 2018 and 2019. The school students are regularly featured in print media for their outstanding achievement in a wide variety of sports. These have included many ex-students from Mackellar who have gone on to achieve excellence in the international sporting arena.
When students enrol at Mackellar, they are placed in House group based alphabetically by surname. House names have been created based on the aboriginal meanings of local Australian native birds:
- Beaubau (blue) King Parrot
- Gullary (green) White Crane
- Moolgori (red) Black Swan
- Tingee (yellow) Black Cockatoo
Students compete in their house groups for Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals.
