Celebrating the achievements of past students, providing inspiration for current students and the Community.
Moreton Bay College, as we know it today, is the harvest of five seeds planted long ago by our Founders, the Greene Sisters. Founders’ Day is a celebration of these seeds which continue to nurture the whole student; academically, creatively, spiritually, intellectually and physically and of the rich history of Moreton Bay College.
In keeping with the 2024 Founders’ Day “seed” of Christian Faith and Service, Moreton Bay College is seeking nominations of Old Girls who have significantly served the local, national or international community in this field. Nominations close Sunday 14 April 2024.
After a life-changing Catholic mission trip to Tanzania, Melissa joined the Canossian Daughters of Charity Order at the age of 20. In 2002 Melissa completed a Bachelor of Education and became a sister-in-training, working with the homeless and socially isolated elderly people and was nominated as Young Queenslander of the Year.
