Visionary Leadership

Thanks to the Vision and support of previous principals Peter McNamara, Brian Roberts, Patrick O'Connor, former Business Manager Bernie Holdsworth and original College Archivist Sr. Patricia Anderson the College has one of the best Archives areas in the country.

In recent times this facility has continued to function through the work of Sr. Catherine Harris the College's current archivist.

We are indeed pleased to have such a facility.

It will surely be a valuable asset to the College for generations to come.

Keepers of the Story

patcathWithout Sr Pat Anderson our Centenary Year celebrations would only be a pale
imitation of what we can do this year.

Without doubt she 'saved' the school history. When Sr Pat came to the College in 1996, the school records were kept in boxes and stored under buildings.

For a decade she worked to rebuild and expand the College Archives and get them housed in the old Monastery. She built on the work of Librarian Angela Chisholm. Ex Principals Peter McNamara, Brian
Roberts and Pat O'Connor were of great support in this process as was the College Business Manager Bernie Holdsworth.

The history section of our website, most likely the largest in the country would not have been possible without the work of Sr Pat. The College Community owes her a great vote of thanks.

In 2007 Sr. Patricia retired and since that time her work has been continued by Sr. Catherine Anderson.
