Why do so many Alumnae share the same style of handwriting?

For many years Mother Violet Dillon’s writing cards imprinted the same style of “school writing” on the hand of every Sacré Cœur girl.  Writing was practiced daily and students were expected to be neat and follow the examples on the writing cards.  It is a style still adopted by many alumnae today and is a distinctive part of Sacré Cœur's rich history.

Can you please help to add to our archive collection?

We would especially love to receive some more photos and memorabilia from the 1970s.

Photos can be scanned and returned to you.

Please contact our Archivist Barbara Kowalski or phone: 9835 2782 if you can assist.
