St. Gertrude's		 The construction of St. Gertrude's and neighbouring Ildephonsus' marked the redirection of the settlement under Abbot Torres from bush mission to educational centre. Built in 1908 St. Gertrude's is a splendid example of Gothic revival architecture. Originally a convent college for girls in the care of the Josephite Sisters, it amalgamated with St. Ildephonsus' in the 1970's to become part of a co-educational boarding school firstly named Salvado College and later New Norcia Catholic College. The College ceased operation at the end of 1991.
In early 1993 St. Gertrude's began a new era when it opened its doors to welcome large groups for both accommodation and activities. Up to 140 people can be accommodated in comfortable individual cubicles and the building boasts a variety of grand interconnecting rooms on the ground floor. With excellent homestyle meals included St. Gertrude's is an ideal venue for large groups.
