The Baradene Alumnae Association warmly invites alumnae Boarders and Friends to a special reunion on Sunday 3 May 2026 at Baradene College.

It has been over 40 years since boarding ended and we welcome all alumnae boarders from Baradene and Sacré Coeur Island Bay (Erskine College) as well as day girls from the boarding years to join us in celebrating this chapter in our history.

We would also like to extend this invitation to Cottesmore alumnae, although not a boarding school, Cottesmore students spent time at both Baradene and Island Bay due to the Helen's Trophy, an annual competition between the three Society of the Sacred Heart schools.

More than just a social occasion, this reunion will offer alumnae the chance to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate the unique bond formed through shared years of living and learning together. Whether you boarded for one term, one year or many, or were a friend of a boarder, you are an important part of our Sacred Heart story, and we would be delighted to have you in attendance.
