On Friday this week we celebrated Foundation day by welcoming former Headteachers Sister Mary O’Brien SND and Mr Alderman into school for a presentation of our new Honours Board!

The board, based on research by Sr Mary, traces the lineage of our school leadership all the way to March 1851 when the Sisters of Notre Dame first began their work in our city. 

During the service we heard from members of our 1804 Society and Student President about the history of the Sisters in our city and what a Notre Dame education means to them. Some of that more recent history was brought vividly to life by recollections from Sister Mary about relationships formed with the people named on the board and the Sisters present with us today.

The board will be housed on the Notre Dame Convent, with an identical twin being displayed in St. Julie's.

Happy Foundation Day!
