ELIZABETH ALDERTON

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of former staff member and ex-student of the College, Elizabeth Alderton, who died after a long battle with ovarian cancer. From 2008 to 2015, Liz served as the Religious Education Coordinator. Her preparation of liturgies and retreats continues to be fondly remembered by staff and students. In 2016, she took on the role of Assistant Principal, working closely with the new College Principal, Mary Leask, to ensure a smooth transition during her first year. Liz wholeheartedly embraced the Ursuline way of living and significantly contributed to the College’s strong social justice initiatives. When she left St Ursula’s in 2017 to join the Sydney Catholic Schools office, to pursue her passion for supporting teachers in their professional development, she left behind a well-prepared Religious Education team that benefited greatly from her expertise and professionalism. Liz will be deeply missed.
