eurythmics era

Sr Teresa Dunlevie was instrumental in the introduction of eurythmics to encourage graceful deportment, coordination and to promote physical health. By the late 1930s, eurythmics was an important part of the school curriculum with Mr Noel Hubbard, from the College of Physical Culture, Dancing and Massage, employed as an instructor. In 1951, to celebrate the jubilee of Australia’s Federation, 450 children participated in a display in the convent grounds in front of the Archbishop and other dignitaries. Eurythmics disappeared from the curriculum sometime in the 1950s.
