| HISTORY/BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: | The Sisters of the Assumption arrived at Biggar in 1927 to teach in the boarding school and in the day-school. During the first years of their missionary work, the Sisters had to face financial difficulties and hostility among the local population. The boarding school closed in 1967 when school transportation allowed the children to stay with their families. The day school remained as a Catholic school. |
