The St Columba’s College archives are filled with 125 years’ worth of photographs, objects and uniform pieces, which until now, have not been seen by many people. On Saturday 8 October we will officially bring our archives into public view, with the grand opening of our heritage centre ‘The Heart of Columba’.

To mark this significant milestone, we are also hosting a general reunion for all St Columba’s College alumnae.

So come along and visit the Heart of Columba, tour the College, spend time with old friends over afternoon tea and celebrate 125 year of St Columba’s College.

When: Saturday 8 October 2022, 3.00pm to 5.00pm
Where: St Columba’s College, 2 Leslie Road Essendon

This event is open to the College community and alumnae, we look forward to seeing you all there.
