The backpack arrived in Portland on March 21st via Hamilton, Victoria. A dinner was held to welcome the bearers of the Backpack, at which the Backpack was the centrepiece.
The Backpack was then displayed at Sunday Mass. Sr. Chris Burke spoke. The community were invited after Mass to write in the journal. Many ex-Loreto students did so, as did the Bishop and the parish priest.
The Backpack was then in Bayview Secondary College and the Principal and teacher-ex-student wrote in the journal. At the Thursday School Assembly, the Backpack was ceremoniously passed over to Sr. Mary Murray to take to Adelaide.
