Description

A celebration 100 years in the making!

The Once in a Century Reunion launches Sancta’s Centenary celebrations by bringing the entire Sancta community back together, across generations.

From alumni-run market stalls and live music to great food, cold drinks, and a full day and evening of celebration, this is Sancta at its most vibrant. Come back to the College, reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and help us kick off our Centenary year in the place where it all began!

Alumni market stall expressions of interest

We are inviting Sancta alumni who own or operate a small business to express interest in hosting a market stall during the daytime festival from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

We know many Sancta alumni have gone on to build their own businesses, and the Centenary is an opportunity to celebrate and support that work. These stalls are designed to showcase the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of our community, while also giving alumni businesses the chance to connect, promote and share their products and services to a highly engaged audience of fellow alumni, students, families, and friends.

Market stalls will be located outdoors along our main driveway near Graduate House and our main steps, forming a key part of our daytime festivities. Sancta will provide a trestle table and a 2.4m x 2.4m gazebo for all stall holders.

Please express interest in hosting a market stall to Hayden Edwards, Director of Community Engagement, at development@sancta.edu.au / +61 2 9577 2126.

    Eva Diana’s music is a mix of rock, folk and singer-songwriter genres. She is heavily influenced by the Americana scene in the U.S., combining country and rock to tell unique stories. Currently based in Sydney, Eva has just finished her first national tour, where she curated five intimate house shows on the east coast of Australia. These shows supported the release of her debut EP, You don't need to fix it, which came out late last year. The body of work walks you through personal roadblocks such as people-pleasing and anxiety, ending with The Contortionist, a song hyper-aware of these issues but hopeful of outgrowing them. Before this, she completed a contemporary music degree at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, which helped her explore different ways of making music and expand her songwriting and production skills. She has performed at numerous venues across Sydney, including the Vanguard, Lazybones, and Waywards, and is looking forward to performing and writing more this year.
