We are soOoOoO proud of our partnership with MacKillop Family Services (MFS). The beautiful families from the MFS Foster Care Community all enjoy free access to our Museum’s all year around and our team have formed some really special friendships with the children and carers that frequent our network of Museums. Some of the most precious memories our team have made in 2025 have been these special interactions.
This year, some our educators also volunteered their time to support the annual gift appeal, and throughout the uber busy school holiday period we have been collecting donations to help support the huge array of foster care services provided by the MFS community.
Meeting the families from this community and hearing their stories is one of the most humbling experiences you will ever have. Just so much ❤️ packed into one small organisation.
If you’re in a position to help, in any capacity, you won’t regret reaching out to learn more.
Dear @mackillopfamilyservices , from our team to yours, we wish you a safe and happy year ahead full of immeasurable impact on one part of our community here in Australia that needs it the most. You are truly incredible people, and an inspiration to us all.
xx MoPA 😍
130 million babies came into the world this year (just 300,000 of whom started their lives in Australia). And whilst the world that these bubba’s entered seems less certain than ever, there are some beautiful reassuring certainties that give us reason for incredible optimism for their futures.
- The love and kindness they have for one another, and the world(s?) they live in, has the potential to make life better for them than it ever has been for us. May we teach them to love and care like no one has before ❤️
- Technology can be scary and challenging, but it also gives us the tools to build an understanding of our existence that our ancestors could only have dreamed, and to do more good with that comprehension in future, than any of us can imagine today 🤖
- Life is a journey of discovery, adventure and learning. And these bubba’s stand on the shoulders of all of us who came before, to discover, adventure and learn things that will make our hearts soft with pride well beyond our lifetime watching on.
From the MoPA family to yours, wishing you the most incredible year ahead! May it be full of play, creativity and learning, to pave the way to a bright future.
