The girls arrived at school on Monday morning with many and varied stories recounting their weekend adventures with their host families. Most girls spent time in New York City visiting key sights and attractions. Some were lucky enough to see a show on Broadway, or shopping on Fifth Avenue, Soho or the West Village.
The group were fortunate to be able to experience mass at The Ursuline School. Sr Pat invited the girls to participate via the Prayers of the Faithful and Offertory Procession. At the conclusion of the mass, Louise introduced the two videos showcasing St Ursula's Toowoomba style. They were very well received. Staff and students were interested to learn that we celebrate Ursie's birthday and excited to see that we have an outdoor pool. Many commented that we appear to have lots of fun. Our students were interested to learn that chair stacking after a whole school gathering is a universal practice. Jessamine expressed a vote of thanks and presented gifts from the College to Eileen Davidson (President) and Carol Kellebrew (Principal).
In the afternoon the group braved the below freezing temperatures and headed to the city to experience the iconic New York Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. It was an experience like no other. The girls loved it!
