“Star of the Sea” College, Seatonn, Wellington

As is usual in connection with all their functions (writes a. correspondent), the Rev. Mother and Sisters in charge of the “Star of the Sea” Boys’ Preparatory College, Seatoun, have very complete and up-to-date arrangements well advanced for the garden fete which is to take place in the beautiful college grounds on Saturday afternoon and evening, September 29, the proceeds of which are intended to augment the fund for the new college chapel, now in the course of erection on the rise overlooking the little township and harbor. No pains have been spared in preparing an excellent programme, and this will be found to contain features both interesting and entertaining. Afternoon tea will be served on the balconies, whilst the adjoining class-rooms will contain side-shows and artistically decorated stalls. Amusing and clever games and novelties will be found a place on the green lawns. Ample provision has been made for the enjoyment of young and old, and, providing the energetic promoters are favored with pleasant weather, a very large attendance is expected. The community have worked particularly hard for the success of the present effort, and trust, as an outcome, that the big expense incurred in erecting the new chapel will be materially lessened.. The Sisters of Mercy cordially invite friends and sympathisers with'their work to attend the fete and view the structure at the stage of erection it has now reached.’
