Celebrating Jules Chevalier

Our very special celebration for Jules Chevalier’s 200th birthday was a day of joy, music and gratitude. The morning started with commemorative badges for all students and staff as they arrived, balloons and ribbons and French party music soaring across the grounds. We had a wonderful assembly and cake cutting and were blessed to hear wisdom shared by Sister Elaine who reminded us to replicate the values of Jules Chevalier – have dreams and pursue them with determination and those who share them to change the world. Our youngest and oldest students cut the cake along with our Principal Anne O'Loughlin and Sister Elaine. 

The day continued with opportunities for a selfie with Jules, near his statue and with our life-size cut out of him who made it to morning tea and a few classes! There were French-inspired snacks available at the canteen and a lunchtime concert under the Jacaranda tree. Happy Birthday Jules…we were so grateful to be a part of this special anniversary.
