ADVETISEMENT:
Seton Catholic College celebrates its 25th Anniversary
Seton Catholic College campus in Samson will be abuzz on Friday 13th March as celebrations for its 25th Anniversary get underway.
The College came into existence in 1990 through the amalgamation of De Vialar College on the current Seton site and St Brendan’s College in Beaconsfield. However, the College can trace its history back to the early days of settlement in the Fremantle area.
In 1855 four French Sisters (nuns) arrived on the Lady Amherst and within a short period of time, had set up St Joseph’s School in Henry Street. In 1968, they moved to Samson to become De Vialar College – in honour of the foundress of their Order, St Emilie De Vialar.
Today’s Seton Catholic College bears no resemblance to the simple classroom where the founding Sisters taught their pupils. Set in well-maintained gardens and lawns, the College is proud of its facilities which include a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Centre, a modern lecture theatre, new classrooms and science laboratories. There is a strong academic focus offering students a range of courses and many extra-curricular activities with an outstanding pastoral care system that seeks to support the needs of its students.
The campus celebrations on Friday 13th March are open to the local community especially in the evening where there will be food and beverages to purchase, along with family entertainment.
Seton will also be holding its annual Open Day on Wednesday 11th March. This gives prospective students and their families the opportunity to be part of small-group tours which showcase the college at work and give our visitors time to chat with some of the students.
