This edition is filled with end of year news from across St Mary's College, as well as staff and alumni interviews, anecdotes from the archives and details on what's been happening at the College in recent months. 

In its pages read about the Pillars program - life skills sessions, the Presentation Plaque and hear what our Prefects plan to do post-graduation and their reflections on their time at SMC.

We also hear from St Mary's College Heritage Officer, Margaret Rootes, who provides an update from the AGM, further anecdotes on the College Crest, plus musings from Sally Cattell on Nano and the three 'urchins'. You'll also see the featured alumni profiles on Cathy Thornton (1984) and Taylah Pickett (2018).
