MacKillop College is a co-educational Catholic school for grades 7 to 10 in the Hobart suburb of Mornington^[1]. The school is named in honour of the Australian educationalist Mary MacKillop, and the works of MacKillop are the theme of the school houses: Kirby, Lochaber, Penola and Tenison^[2]. The school also has an association with the Christian Brothers founded by Edmund Rice^[3]. MacKillop and Rice are key sources of inspiration for the school community.

The college is a member of the Sports Association of Tasmanian Independent Schools. ^[4]

The school was opened on the site of the former Mornington Primary School in 1994^[5]. Mackillop College was part of a restructuring of Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Hobart during the early 1990s, although moves to establish a Catholic secondary school on the Eastern Shore of Hobart had begun in the 1960s^[6]. Over the first ten years of the school's operation a staged building program was implemented, with the eighth stage completed in 2004.^[5]
