Renaming of NDC Buildings
Catholic Education Sandhurst has recently completed a review of the names of buildings, rooms, facilities, and programs across the entire Sandhurst Diocese. Following the review, we have received a request to rename two of our buildings.
Those buildings are the Monsignor Anthony Bones Hall and the Bishop Noel Daly Centre. It’s important to clarify that the requirement to change names has come about because of some historical abuse cases and whilst Bishop Daly and Monsignor Bones were not perpetrators of abuse themselves, they failed in a couple of instances to deal with issues that came across their desks, and so allowed injustice and abuse to continue to be unaddressed.
The Leadership Executive team in consultation with Father Joe Taylor have discerned this and have followed an approval process to rename these buildings.
Approval from Bishop Shane for building name changes has been received.
They are:
Monsignor Anthony Bones Hall will now be named – Sacred Heart Hall
Bishop Noel Daley Centre will now be named - The La Valla Centre
There will be some further work to inform the community of the changes, change the signage, College documentation, etc. and we will ensure that you remain informed of the progress as it gets underway.
