ARCHDIOCESE OF PERTH RELEASE
Daramalan College this month will hold events to celebrate its golden jubilee year.
On Saturday, 20 October, a reunion dinner for about 600 former students will be held at Rydges Lakeside. Next day, a jubilee Mass will be celebrated at 10.30am in McCowage Hall at the college. Main celebrant will be MSC Provincial Fr John Mulrooney. This will be followed by the blessing and opening of the Sharpe Extension, which will house new facilities for wood technology, fashion and textiles and graphics as well as a staff area. It forms Stage 1 in a program that will see the full replacement of the current design and technology facilities by the end of next year. Stage 2 will be a trade training centre funded substantially by the Federal Government to provide facilities for vocational courses in auto technology and metal technology. Building on this will begin in December.
From 1pm on Sunday, 21 October, in the college grounds there will be games of basketball, netball and rugby played against another MSC school Chevalier College, Bowral. In addition, fun activities for young children and food stalls will be available.
Two committees of past students and current staff have worked on the jubilee events and three past staff have written a book about Daramalan’s first 50 years which will be launched on the weekend. The college invites everyone to share in the celebrations.
