SALTWATER HEARTS | In celebration of our 150 years, St Mary Star of the Sea College is proud to launch Saltwater Hearts, a social history of the College from it's birth to the present day. The book was commissioned by the College and written by historian and journalist, Jeff McGill. It is published by Allen and Unwin, one of Australia's leading independent book publishers.
"Saltwater Hearts" is a remarkable tribute to our College's rich history, highlighting the profound impact we have had on our community for the past 150 years. This beautifully crafted book takes readers on a captivating journey through time, showcasing the trials, triumphs, and transformative moments that have shaped us into who we are today. It explores not only the evolution of the College, but also the history of the city of Wollongong and the state of New South Wales.
We are thrilled to officially launch “Saltwater Hearts” at the 150 Gala Ball to be held on Saturday, 20 May 2023 at the WIN Entertainment Centre. The event will celebrate the College's 150th anniversary and the book launch is one of the highlights of the evening.
The book is a testament to the enduring legacy of the College and the generations of students, staff, and families who have contributed to its rich history. It is a fitting tribute to our 150 years of service to the community.
