Our History and Charism

History
Holy Spirit Catholic College is a co-educational Catholic systemic school located in Lakemba, NSW. The college commenced in 1999, from the amalgamation of two schools, St John’s College and MacKillop Girls.

The college crest is founded in the Year of the Holy Spirit. It depicts the cross of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, with the dove representing the Holy Spirit. The depiction of the Holy Spirit emerging from the cross embodies the message of Pentecost where “the Holy Spirit came down on all” (Acts 10:44) to spread the good news to all.

The Holy Spirit empowers and inspires the lives of all in the college community.
