On our Founders Day each year, we celebrate not only Ann Jellicoe's legacy but also the lasting impact of our ethos on the Alex community. When a girl joins Alex, she becomes part of the family. The Alex community traverses the globe and connects all of us to a powerful sense of belonging across generations.

This Founders Day, we are delighted to present the Alexandra Odyssey, an exploration of the journey of each student, as well as every member of our community, parent and teacher alike.

The annual Hermione Lecture in Fine Art will be taking place on Thursday 4 May 2023 at 4:30 pm. This lecture, which has run uninterrupted since 1896, will be delivered by Aoife Keogh, Lecturer in Education at NCAD. In a lecture titled “How to be an Artist?”, Aoife will be exploring the role of the artist in society and what qualities it takes to be an artist. In doing so we may gain insights into the life of the artist, why it is so difficult to be successful and how we should value what artists do.

The Hermione Lecture has a long and cherished history in the College. Named after Hermione, Duchess of Leinster and namesake of our Residence, the lecture has featured the works of artists and art historians such as Mary Swanzy, Jack B Yeats, and Mainie Jellet.

We look forward to seeing you there.
