Celebrating 150 Years of Mercy in Bendigo

Sesquicentennial 'Back To' Day

Saturday 2 May | 11am – 3pm, St Mary’s Campus

All members of our College community, including past and present students, staff, parents and friends, are invited to attend our Sesquicentennial celebrations at St Mary's on Saturday 2 May.

Commencing with Mass in the beautiful historic Chapel, celebrated by Fr Jake Mudge with con-celebrant Fr Jackson Saunders, this will be followed by a full afternoon of traditional ‘Back To’ events, including refreshments in the St Mary’s Hall, music performed by current students, an exhibition of memorabilia, the opening of the Jubilee Art Show and student-led tours of the campus. 

A highlight of the afternoon will be the launch of the History Book.

This will be a perfect day to reconnect with old friends, celebrate the achievements of the College over the past 150 years, and enjoy the College's hospitality. Past students and former boarders will not want to miss this once-in-50-years event!
