140 Year Anniversary - St Martin's in the Pines
28 October
#DamascusCollege #DamascusPride
In 2021 Damascus College is proudly celebrating 140 years of Catholic Education. Together, we celebrate our proud history and recognise and celebrate our foundation schools; Sacred Heart College, St Paul’s Technical College, and St Martin’s in the Pines.
In 1960 Miss Alice Fanning, who was looked after by the Sisters of Mercy for several years, bequeathed her property in Mt Clear to the Sisters of Mercy on her death in February 1960. The land was used by the Sisters to grow vegetables and raise cattle, and following the decision in 1964 to develop the site for the senior school of Sacred Heart College, the foundation stone was laid in 1966. In 1967, a separate campus for Years 11 and 12 girls was developed at Mt Clear to form Sacred Heart Senior College, St Martin's in the Pines. In 1988, this campus became co-educational, with boys mainly from St Paul's College.
Community events planned for next year include a Gala Event as well as a Community Day. Please visit https://www.damascus.vic.edu.au/news-events/140-year-anniversaryto see more details.
