A visionary new campus set to transform education in Wyndham Vale.

The architectural vision, released in December 2024, outlines a cutting-edge educational space that will integrate faith, learning, and sustainability. However, MacKillop College has emphasised that the Master Plan is still being finalised, and the design may evolve over the coming months.
A New Benchmark for Education
With Wyndham Vale being one of the fastest-growing residential areas in Australia, the new MacKillop College campus is expected to meet the increasing demand for high-quality Catholic education. The campus will mirror the curriculum and programs of the college’s existing Werribee site, ensuring a consistent educational experience across both locations.
Key features of the proposed Master Plan include:
✔ Interconnected courtyards fostering a sense of community.
✔ A central chapel reflecting the school’s Catholic identity.
✔ Specialised learning spaces for STEAM, food technology, and performing arts.
✔ Sustainable landscaping incorporating native plants, rain gardens, and energy-efficient materials.
The new campus is strategically located between Smile Crescent, Welcome Parade, and Stanmore Crescent in Jubilee Estate, creating a key educational hub for families in Wyndham Vale.

Finalising the Master Plan
