Jersey Day 2023

Every year on 6 June, our students come together for our annual Jersey Day, a tradition born from the heartfelt initiative of our Boarding students many years ago. This special day pays tribute to the three beloved Boarders – Alanda Clark, Jane Gay, and Prudence Papworth – who tragically lost their lives in a plane crash while returning home for the June long weekend in 1993.

This year we commemorate the 30th anniversary of their passing. Although time has passed, their legacy is everlasting. The memory of these girls is etched in the stain-glass windows of our chapel and grows in our garden with three Tallowwood trees that were planted in their memory near Mollie Dive Field. The Alanda Clark, Jane Gay and Prudence Papworth Boarding Scholarship was also created in their honour, and on Jersey Day our students raise funds to help contribute to this scholarship and continue their legacy.
