USA Tour 2016

Monday 14th December 2016

New Rochelle

The Ursuline School - Presentation and Farewells

On Monday morning the USA Tour girls and staff joined with their host families and staff from TUS in a farewell breakfast.  The girls gave their final presentation and sang beautifully.  




We presented The Ursuline School President, Mrs Eileen Davidson with an Angela tile in recognition of our visit.


Final photos of the tour and with their host sisters.

The girls are very excited to welcome their host sisters to Australia when TUS visits St Ursula's College in April!





The USA Tour has been a wonderful success cementing our Ursuline connections with Ursuline Academy Dallas, The Ursuline School New Rochelle and the Academy of Mt St Ursula Bronx.
Long lasting friendships were made with host families and some very excited USA students are keen to visit Australia!

The hospitality shown to the tour in each location was incredible.  We felt very welcomed by staff, students and host families.  We would like to thank Mrs Gretchen Kane (President UA Dallas), Dr Andrea Shurley (Principal UA Dallas), Ms Cecilia Nipp & Mrs Kathy Ross (Global Connections UA Dallas), Mrs Eileen Davidson (President TUS), Mrs Carol Killebrew (Principal TUS), Mrs Maria Barton (Global Connections TUS), Sr Jean Humphries (Principal AMSU Bronx), Sr Pat Schifini and the many staff who welcomed us. 

In particular we would like to thank the many host families who took the girls into their homes and hearts and provided them with so many opportunities to visit places the girls had only dreamed of.
