In 1961 the Brigidine Sisters opened Brigidine College in Peebles Road, Floreat (now Newman College, Marian Campus), transferring all secondary students from the old Brigidine Secondary School campus on Salvado Road, Wembley/Subiaco (est 1953).
This is a fabulous shot of Sister Beatrice Grant and her 1971 class, found in the wonderful Town of Cambridge Local History Collection.
We think these girls look like they’re in about 1st or 2nd year (Year 8 or 9), making them 1974 or 1975 Leavers, or thereabouts.
Please share, tag, and help us identify them - we’d love to know who these Newmanites are, and where they are now!
