A nice easy cache on the walkway between Chapel Street and Dixon Street, Masterton on the UCOL campus.
Cache is found at a Centennial memorial for the St Bride's Convent School.
The community of six Sisters at St. Bride's Convent were able to offer a religious and literary education to young women second to none.
St Bride's opened on 2 February 1899. Thus began the story of the first Catholic College in the Wairarapa.
The school rolls grew and extensions were made to the convent to accommodate a novitiate for the training of young women who wished train as Brigidine Sisters. By January 1905 the number of Sisters and Novices had swelled to thirteen. The much planned for new chapel was blessed and opened on Sunday 10 January 1909.
In 1918 an influenza epidemic spread across the country. At St. Bride’s, Classrooms were turned into wards for those convalescing from the “Black Flu”. The Sisters cared for the sick in every way possible. In 1921 the east wing to accommodate more boarders was completed.
Cache is a small 150ml clear plastic container that contains log sheet and a couple of small trades only.
