We are excited for the new facilities our extension on the Brigid Shelly building will deliver in late 2023. In addition to the flexible, contemporary general learning areas and refurbishment of existing spaces, there will be a new College Auditorium.

The 200-seat Brigid Shelly Auditorium provides a large meeting space for House/Year groups, performances and other College events.

With this new space, we have a unique opportunity for our community to become involved by donating $250 to Sponsor a Seat. Some of you will remember buying a paver for the Frances Kearney playground. Students and families still love finding their names when returning to the College. In recognition of your donation, a small plaque will be placed at each seat. By Sponsoring a seat, you will help raise funds in support of the College’s Master Plan as well as etching your name in history.

All donors will be invited to attend the official opening later in the year.

CLICK HERE for more information. LIMITED SEATS AVAILABLE.

Applications are now invited from families of girls entering the College Year 7 in 2025.
