On Thursday 20th April we hosted the second of our 150th Anniversary Regional Drinks at Mr & Mrs Julian Norbury’s beautiful home near Malvern.

Kat Norbury (Carver), was able to gather a few friends from her 1989 year group along with other alumnae and guests to be part of our special anniversary celebrations. In the comfortable surroundings of their historic home, decorated with flowers from Kat’s small business, Kat’s Cut Flowers, guests enjoyed drinks and canapes.  There was a real buzz in the room with everyone sharing memories and stories from their days at Calne. 

Cate Bell, Chair of The Calne Foundation Trust, thanked all the guests for their support and shared details of the plans for this anniversary year and the Chrysalis Bursary Campaign.  We very much look forward to more people joining the 150 Society and supporting this ambitious and genuinely transformational bursary programme which embodies the school’s aims and values. The Chrysalis Campaign - to build a strong and sustainable bursary fund - is aimed at changing lives for the better, opening doors to opportunities that never seemed possible and creating brighter futures for many more girls at St Mary’s. 

There are many more events planned during this celebratory year and more information can be found here.
