At °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Êapp's 1904-1908
B. 1890 D. 1986
Nellie Cummins, or Sister Margaret, was the first °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Êapp’s past student to join the order of the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent (SSA).
She was among 35 students enrolled at Eton High School (°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Êapp’s founding name) in the early 1900s when the school was based first at Nundah and then at its second home, Toorak House in Hamilton.
Nellie became a member of staff at St Catharine’s in Warwick, a school which, like °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Êapp’s, was founded by the SSA and became a novice in 1915.
In 1917, she was professed as a Sister of the Order by Bishop Le Fanu and proceeded to spend time at almost every SSA school including °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Êapp’s, as well as Tufnell Home and the children’s hostel at Charleville.
She was said to be a prolific letter writer, remaining connected with her many friends this way.
