After spending our first days in Australia researching places where we might take our students in the future, the day finally arrived for us to visit St. Ursula's College, the school that we hope will become our next sister-school. Founded in 1931, St.Ursula's is located in Toowoomba, Queenland and serves girls in grades 8-12 (grade 7 coming next year!). It is a lovely school with several red brick buildings that made us feel very much at home. First on our agenda was a tour of the school.

Thank you for a wonderful tour!
St. Ursula's is currently beginning the last term of the school year and so, after our tour, we were happy to join students for their opening of term assembly and prayer service. It was especially nice because the prayer service had an "outback" theme.
At the assembly, we thanked all at St. Ursula's for the warm welcome that we have received and we told the students that our students in Dallas can't wait to meet their Australian sisters! The Assembly ended with the whole school singing this beautiful song about Serviam.
