A self-guided heritage walk around the campus of St Patrick's College for Girls Campbelltown

Japanese Gardens

Two Japanese gardens frame the Chisholm Complex.

"Kizuna" (in Japanese meaning to bond and connect with others) is located behind this classroom block. 

"Kizuna" was built in 2020 during the Staff Spirituality Day. The garden features a waterfall, a Japanese haiku poem and Koi fish from the College Yandel'ora Garden.

"Jukukouen" (Japanese for Garden of Contemplation) is located on the northeast corner of "Westview".

"Jukukouen" has a water feature with the Japanese Kanji character for water, space for Bonsai trees to be displayed, a clock featuring Japanese numbers and a large Jacaranda tree which provides a spectacular show of purple spring flowers.
