Ursuline Academy of Dallas 

Reciprocal visit 2018

In 2016 St Ursula's College visited the Ursuline Academy of Dallas for the first time and during this exchange we formed a strong bond with our Dallas "sisters".  We are very excited that the Dallas girls will be joining us in Toowoomba for the next 10 days.  They have checked in, boarded their flight and will arrive at Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport tomorrow.

Global Ursuline Education Conference 

Johannesburg 2017

Our Principal Ann Marie Pawsey and Deputy Principal Kay Gleeson attended the first day of the Global Ursuline Education Conference on Monday 31st July 2017 in Johannesburg at Brescia House School.

The conference has provided many opportunities to converse with fellow Ursulines, explore the local area, visit Mandela house and Brescia House School.

It has also been a fantastic opportunity to catch up with our Global Connections from other Ursuline schools around the world.

Pictured below are the staff and students from Brescia House School (Johannesburg) who visited St Ursula's College in August 2016 catching up with Ann Marie and Kay.
