Mother Constance BashaShe immigrated to Australia in 1972 to join the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family. Upon her arrival she was went to Saint Maroun in Redfern. A few months later she moved to Our Lady of Lebanon church in Harris Park, where she and Sister Juliette Ghorayeb laid the foundations for Our Lady of Lebanon school. The school had a humble beginning in 1973 with just 150 students from pre-school to year 6. The school has now educated over 10,000 young Australians and continues to expand as it provides to the needs of the community. The growth of this college is a testament to the tireless effort that Mother Constance has put in. Mother Constance still believes that 27 years of contributions and sacrifices passed like yesterday.
