Thursday saw a significant celebration for the College … St Dominic’s Day. This event highlighted our wonderful Dominican history and heritage.

The day commenced with an inter class quiz competition on Kahoot where students were tested on their knowledge of St Dominic and the Dominican religious order. This was followed by celebration of a wonderful Liturgy in the College Hall.   

Students and staff were joined by special guests: Fr Greg Barker, Fr Anthony Coloma, Dominican Sisters, Sr Patricia Bendeich, Sr Maure Campbell and Sr Jenny Gerathy. We were also joined by Mrs Rose McAllister (ex student, staff member and Dominican Associate), along with Mrs Katie Philpott, staff members, and students from our fellow Dominican school, St Dominic’s Catholic College.

Following the Liturgy, students partook in an extended BBQ lunch. Unfortunately, inclement weather meant planned carnival activities in the afternoon had to be cancelled.

Despite this, a great day was had by all. Thank you to all staff who assisted in planning for what will become a key event to look forward to celebrating each year! 

Following on with the Dominican theme, we will examine some key aspects of our Dominican charism (spirituality) over the next couple of newsletters.
