70 YEAR GARDEN PARTY 🥂What a wonderful evening of celebration, connection and community!
Thank you to our valued alumnae who joined us last weekend, alongside parents, current and past staff, invited guests and friends, in the beautiful surrounds of La Foresta for our 70 Year Garden Party, marking a significant milestone in Mount Alvernia College's history. 🌿
With live music, entertainment, delicious food and plenty of opportunities to reconnect, the evening was a fitting celebration of 70 years of Franciscan education for girls.
Most importantly, it was a chance to reflect on the people, stories and shared experiences that have shaped our College community across seven decades. 🥰
Thank you again to all of our alumnae who joined us and helped make this special celebration so memorable, especially those who attended their milestone reunion.
Here's to honouring our past, celebrating our present and embracing our future together. 🫶

70 YEARS | THE 1980s ✨ As we celebrate 70 years of Mount Alvernia College, we’re proud to share the next chapter in our journey - the 1980s.
A decade of bold growth, fresh vision and vibrant energy, the 80s saw the opening of the Francis Wing, bringing classrooms, music, home economics and art together in one inspiring space. With new spaces came new possibilities.
Defined by colour, creativity and a strong sense of community, the 80s helped shape the spirit of Mt A we know and love today.
Take a step back in time and relive the decade that set the foundation for so much of what followed. ❤

70 YEARS 🎥 The 1970s
As we proudly celebrate our 70th year, we are thrilled to share the next in a series of videos that showcase the highlights from each decade of Mount Alvernia’s journey.
Stepping back into the vibrant 1970s, this era was a time of colour, confidence, and creativity with the opening of our very first library, and the production of our inaugural musical in 1976, setting the stage for future artistic achievements and traditions. 🎭
Sporting endeavours also played a significant role during this decade, building both school spirit and camaraderie. 🏐

CELEBRATING 70 YEARS 🎥 The 1960s
We’re excited to share the next video in our special decade by decade series as we celebrate our 70th anniversary.
The 1960s were a time of growth, transformation and collaboration at Mount Alvernia. As enrolments continued to rise, a significant milestone was reached with the opening of the Clare Building in 1967.
This decade also marked the introduction of co educational classes with our brother school, Padua College – a valued partnership that continues to thrive to this day.

HUMANITIES WEEK 📚 Recently, Mount Alvernia College celebrated the powerful role Humanities plays in shaping curious minds and compassionate leaders.
It was especially meaningful to welcome back 2023 alumna Amisha, who shared her journey beyond Mt A and inspired our students with insights into future study and career pathways in Humanities.
There’s nothing quite like seeing our alumnae return to where it all began. Thank you, Amisha, for giving back and staying connected to our Mt A community. It was so lovely to have you back at Mt A!
