History Club Back for 2019

After a very busy 2018 organising the centenary of the Armistice commemorations, the History Club has a busy year ahead preparing for the school's 180th birthday next year. We had a very successful Open Day display decorating H13 with the decorations from last year's Remembrance Day ceremony. This room will now be the place where all meetings will be conducted.

Open Day Display

Students were given a wonderful presentation by Mackenzie M who attended a trip of World War I sites as part of the Anzac Ambassadors Program late 2018. She spoke about seeing Australian war cemeteries and sites such as Lemnos, the Imperial War Museum in London and the French village of Villers-Bretonneux. The History Club members were enthralled by her talk and had lots of questions.

The History Club's next project is to transcribe interviews done with past Sisters of the College conducted in 2015 and the interview they conducted with 94 year old Phyllis Baxter last year. We also intend to catalogue all plaques, statues and artworks around the College.
