Rugby Heritage Cup Tournament

Our team of twelve students selected to represent Australia at the inaugural Rugby Heritage Cup (RHC2023) are training hard ahead of the tournament being held 2-7 September 2023 – the week before the Rugby World Cup.

This ‘bucket list’ opportunity certainly isn’t lost on the students or the three staff travelling with them.

The girls will be immersed in French culture, staying at the Pontlevoy Abbey which was created in 1034 and located in the Loire Valley which is an incredible opportunity to rejoice in our French heritage and all that has been achieved since Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat established The Society of the Sacred Heart in France in 1800.

Saint Madeleine would be very proud of these trail-blazing young women fiercely competing against 24 international teams and in front of 3,000-4,000 spectators daily. It is truly incredible given our Rugby Sevens program was introduced just three years’ ago.

The Stuartholme students will travel with Iona College –the Australian representative schoolboys’ team and be accompanied by Paul Davey – Coach & Director of Human Resources, Emma McCarthy – Director of Rowing & Sports Development and Sue Harris –Leader of Student Wellbeing, Year 8.

The students selected are:

Florence Hobbs, Emma Lister, Charlotte Lyons, Deana Mailata, Ella Meade, Edith Moloney, Piper Morgan, Summer Rosenthal, Neva Thorn, Claudia Thorne, Mia Townsend, Alexandra Warby with Sophie Gardner and Charlotte Chalmers as Shadow.

Open Day

Despite the challenging weather conditions, Stuartholme’s Open Day on 11 March proved to be a resounding success.

The rain held off just long enough to welcome an impressive turnout of 2,000 people through the gates of Stuartholme. This event provided a wonderful opportunity for the school to showcase its exceptional offerings to the community. From state-of-the-art facilities to a nurturing learning environment, visitors had the chance to witness the best of what Stuartholme has to offer. Despite the initial concern caused by the weather, the spirit of excitement and exploration prevailed, making the Open Day a memorable experience for all involved.
