Experience a self-guided tour around the beautiful Loreto College Ballarat gardens, explore the Loreto Archives Centre, and view the Travelling Exhibition featuring the Feminine Fortitude Mannequins representing Mother Gonzaga Barry and her nine companions, who arrived from Ireland in 1875 to establish Loreto Convent.

At 12.30pm enjoy a performance of the re-imagined Centenary play, Serious Business – a conversation between Mother Gonzaga Barry and a narrator covering topics in her letters to ‘My Dear Children’.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
