On Thursday, March 5, 3.30–6pm, the College is inviting girls planning for secondary school and their families to attend its annual Open Day.
Curious families will have the chance to get their questions answered about what it’s like to attend the school, from students like school captain Bianca Stanghieri.
“What excites me is how learning at St Ursula’s goes beyond the curriculum,” Bianca said.
“The College has offered me incredible opportunities to nurture my individual strengths and celebrate my Catholic faith.”
When families join a student-led school tour at the Open Day this year, they can discover the school’s new architect-designed learning spaces, passionate staff and diverse extra-curricular programs.
Visitors can learn about the college’s Newman Selective Gifted and Talented Program, watch a debating demonstration, see the student orchestra perform and join in sports activities and science experiments.
Giveaways, a virtual tour of the Vatican, taste testing in the hospitality classroom and photography demonstrations are also part of the fun.
St Ursula’s principal Mary Leask said: “At St Ursula’s, we take an exceptionally holistic approach, which gives equal balance to academic, social, personal and religious dimensions of education.
“Our great hope is to instil in each of our girls a deep, lifelong love of learning, and we warmly invite you to experience the passion and dedication of our staff and students at the 2020 Open Day.”
Located in leafy Kingsgrove a short walk from the station, St Ursula’s College can be found at 69 Caroline Street.
