meant so much to so many.
Whether it is the generous gift

development to our School. Our
past pupils continue to be a part of
our giving community.

learning and leadership in the
spirit of Mercy. Within our

community is warmly
welcomed to celebrate our
past, present and future.
Since 1997, the Foundation
has played an important role
in the development of our
campus and community. In
the last year, the Foundation
donated $200,000 towards
the Aquinas Project and
Magnolia Place, bringing
the total contribution to
$4.4 million since 2001.
The priorities of the
Foundation continue to
involve our community in
partnership, to attract funds
and to invest wisely so we
can provide the facilities
and environment for our All
Hallows’ Sisters to flourish. A
sincere and heartfelt thanks
go to our Foundation Board
for their wise counsel and
management of such an
important investment.
We thank our outgoing
Board Members, Mr
Paul Lindstrom, Mr Brian
Kilmartin, Mrs Noela
McMullen, Mr James Baxter
and outgoing Chair, Mrs
Bernadette Egan for their
dedication and leadership over
many years. We also thank and
acknowledge the tremendous
work of Ms Lenore Thompson who
after an outstanding 23 years as
Foundation Office Manager, has
decided to retire. We wish Lenore
all the very best and we look
forward to welcoming you all back
on campus in the future.
We also thank our continuing
Foundation Board Members, Mr
Matt Bell and Ms Phoebe Wowor,
and our new Board Chair, Ms
Ann-Maree David, as we welcome
incoming members for 2021, Ms
Mary Macuga, Ms Jemima Welsh
and Mr Martin Turner. Together
with Mrs Catherine O’Kane,
Foundation Board Director and
School Principal, we look forward
to working with you in 2021.
2020 was certainly a challenging
year for many and the All Hallows’
community is not immune to the
uncertainty and disappointments
that a global pandemic can
deliver. Now, more than ever, the
support of our community through
the Foundation is welcomed,
appreciated and invested wisely to
create maximum impact.
2021 will bring new opportunities
for our past pupils to play a
valuable role in the development
of the School through the
Foundation. Watch this space for

Society for those wishing to leave a
