On February 27 St Virgil’s College opened and blessed its new canteen amphitheatre on its Austins Ferry campus in Hobart, Australia. A defining feature of the amphitheatre is a large artwork which highlights the College’s ‘strategic star’ and its link to the Edmund Rice Education Charter and the Archbishop’s Charter for Catholic education.

Featured under the heading of ‘Leadership’ is a picture of Mary Rice Centre Director Br Gerald Mgalula and St Virgil’s Principal Mr Damian Messer. The photo was taken at the Centre last year when Mr Messer visited as part of the Carrigg Karibu program.

The artwork is a daily reminder of the strong link between St Virgil’s College and the Mary Rice Centre students and their community.
