MacKillop is a Catholic co-educational College in the Josephite tradition, inspired by the vision of St. Mary of the Cross MacKillop. We are committed to nurturing lifelong learners who engage authentically, embrace diversity, and strive for personal excellence in all aspects of life. As an innovative and future-focused College, MacKillop offers contemporary facilities, a dynamic curriculum, and comprehensive wellbeing programs designed to meet the diverse needs of approximately 1,820 students across Years 7–12.

About the role
We invite passionate educators at every stage of their career to join our vibrant community of dedicated teachers.

At MacKillop, our Food Technology Teachers inspire students to explore the relationship between food, nutrition and health, developing their understanding of food selection, preparation, safety and hygiene. Through engaging and practical learning experiences, students experiment with ingredients, refine their culinary techniques and apply design thinking to the development and evaluation of food products.

Our Food Technology curriculum encourages students to develop confidence, creativity and an appreciation of the importance of making informed and responsible food choices. By connecting classroom learning with everyday experiences, students build valuable practical skills and foundational knowledge that can support further study and future pathways in food, nutrition and hospitality. Learning experiences are thoughtfully designed to be engaging, hands‑on and responsive to the diverse needs of students, with a strong emphasis on practical application, problem‑solving and independent thinking.

At MacKillop, our talented educators are committed to preparing students for life beyond school through an engaging academic and behavioural curriculum that fosters knowledge, practical skills, creativity, independence and a strong sense of responsibility.
