"Donations and Sponsorship of Pipes"

 

We are delighted to advise that the Minister for Planning, The Hon. Kristina Keneally MP, has just announced a Grant of $30,000 as part of the NSW Heritage Grants 2009-11 to enable completion of the conservation of the 1890 French Puget Organ. In addition, we have been granted a further $10,000 “kick-start funding”. This brings to three the number of Grants, in total $66,250, made available for the conservation of this instrument, recognising its importance and uniqueness in Australian history. It is also a tribute to The Society of the Sacred Heart which has owned and cared for the organ since it was installed in the Convent in Bordeaux in 1890 and subsequently sent to Australia in 1904.
Please continue those donations and sponsorships, thank you.

Special Pipes
There are special pipes for donations. On May 13 2007 Sister Margaret McKay celebrated her Golden Jubilee of profession. Her dedicated pipe is one way to honour her in such a special year. There are also dedicated pipes for many RSCJ and former teachers, e.g. Miss Pat Gillis who taught piano at Rose Bay Convent for many years.

Anyone can donate in memory of someone who is or was special to you and all donations are tax deductible.

The Horbury Hunt Club has donated a façade pipe and the dedication is worthy of full mention:
“Dedicated by The Horbury Hunt Club Inc., in memory of John Horbury Hunt, 1838-1904, architect of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Rose Bay,including the convent chapel and its glorious interior”

Many classes have had reunions and decided to donate a pipe in memory of their happy years at School.
