Our College community including Dominican sisters, students staff, parents and ex-students came together on Friday 24 July to celebrate St Dominic’s Day. During the liturgy we gathered in celebration of all that has shaped our school and our proud 121 year history and reflected on what we are being called to do.
On St Dominic’s Day we celebrate our community, but we also remember the wider community to which we belong. Our collection to support one of the ministries of the Dominican sisters was this year for the Solomon Islands.
The Solomon Islands are only 4 hours away from Sydney, but very many miles away from the education we assume is available to all. We collected over $4000 that will provide the opportunity for students, including young Dominican sisters to be educated in areas of literacy, numeracy, and life skills that we take for granted.
Following the liturgy, Year 12 continued the tradition of crowning St Dominic and dancing on Dom’s Plot before the community was entertained by an outdoor concert.
