This week, Lowther Hall celebrated its 105th birthday! At the whole school Found Day Assembly, we recognised and gave thanks for the many individuals who have assisted our school to grow and develop since its first students entered the gates on the 11th of February, 1920. From Archbishop Lowther Clarke, who had the vision and foresight to establish and Anglican school for girls in Melbourne’s north west, through our school councils, principals, staff, parents and of course each generation of students, who have shaped our community into the wonderful place it is today. Our guest speaker, Diane Williamson from the Class of 1959, shared memoires of her own school days with the girls – including her reflections on assemblies and the uniform and fond reminiscences of Miss Sampford and Miss Thurman – individuals whose legacies live on tangibly in our school spaces today. Diane encouraged the girls to make the most of the many opportunities available to them at Lowther Hall, reminded them to be thankful for all that they have been given and finally, exhorted them to be kind – messages for all time which I hope that each girl will apply as we enter the 106th year of the School’s history!
