Founder’s Day
It is only appropriate that this year’s Founder’s Day Celebrations at the Kinnoull Campus would be a big event. And in keeping with the level of celebration at the Centenary events this year, students and staff were not disappointed. The Founder’s Day Celebrations started with a whole-school Mass in the College Gymnasium celebrated by Fr Michael Elligate, after which the sound of the Founder’s song rang out loud and proud. The student body then headed over to Kinnoull for the annual fair day, which this year included several big amusement rides and novelty events, as well as the signature event, the De La Gift, which was won this year by Daniel Anastasio of 11 Jerome by a nose hair. New students to the College were delighted to join in the celebrations with the older students more versed in the Founder’s Day traditions, and the spirit of the day was alive and well.
