Here are some of them now hey, say hi. The campus is really beautiful.
I love walking around and taking it all in. There are plenty of green spaces and outdoor areas to enjoy. Our piazza is the social hub of the college, where we gather for our assemblies and relax during breaks, and it’s a great place to gather with friends. My favourite area has to be the chapel garden, which is also the year 12 garden, where we get to spend time together at lunch and recess a special spot is our indigenous garden, featuring a yearning circle and meeting place. So what’s the significance of the indigenous garden?
Well, this is a yearningSt Ursula’s circle. We use it to come together as one and recognise culture. Sport is a big part of my life at St Ursula’s, along with many other students. We know it’s important to have a well-rounded education and part of that is being able to take part in a variety of sport activities. For me, it’s volleyball here are some girls playing now, let’s go join them.
