The school also has an association with the Christian Brothers founded by Edmund Rice [http://www.christianbrothers.com.au/links/schools.html Christian Brothers - Schools] , accessed 2 March 2008] . MacKillop and Rice are key sources of inspiration for the school community.

The school was opened on the site of the former Mornington Primary School in 1994 [http://www.mackillop.tas.edu.au/History.htm College History] , accessed 1 March 2008] . 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 [http://www.ceo.hobart.catholic.edu.au/morning.htm MacKillop College] , accessed 2 March 2008] . Over the first ten years of the school's operation a staged building program was implemented, with the eighth stage completed in 2004.
