The 44th annual major fundraiser for St Joseph’s School in Hawthorn, Open Houses 2023 is back to its wonderful in-person format, being held on Sunday 19th March 2023.

Our school community is ready to welcome you back as you explore four amazing homes and one very special garden. Click through for more detailed descriptions of each property.

Also returning are our souvenir event booklets that share history and insights and gorgeous photography from each of the properties as well as our wonderful gift bags full of goodies.

And let’s not forget our famous Afternoon Tea! Rumour has it that some guests come for that alone and don’t even visit the houses! You just need to decide at what stage throughout the event you will choose to enjoy it.

On 19th March we have five beautiful properties for you to explore:
