La Verite Assembly
On Wednesday this week the College celebrated its annual La Verite Assembly. This marks the end of Semester 1 and also the awarding of key College Awards. Students, in year groups, were awarded a range of certificates marking their commitment and involvement in the service and faith life of the College, the co-curricular life of the College, as well as their academic achievement. These awards demonstrate the wonderful way in which our girls engage in learning outside of the classroom, which echoes the educational mission of the College to educate the whole person – spiritually, academically, socially and physically.
Our staff offer a vast array of opportunities to our girls each and every year. The numbers of students making the most of these opportunities to take up their lantern and be courageous in new areas of learning and endeavour is increasing year-on-year and the life of the College both in and out of the classroom is thriving. This was evidenced by the large numbers of awards handed out at the La Verite Assembly and the large numbers of “Commitment to Learning” certificates handed out in Year Assemblies on Thursday.
Students who excel across a range of areas qualify for our two top prizes at the La Verite Assembly – the Shine Award, and the Lantern Award – with a number of students qualifying for these awards.
We congratulate all our awardees, who epitomise the Domremy vision of developing confident, courageous, loving and generous women who embrace learning and carry Christ’s light forward. It is a time when our students can believe in their God given gifts to become La Verite women of purpose and conviction. Congratulations also to all students who are shining their light and committing to personal excellence in and out of the classroom at Domremy, contributing positively to our community and making the most of the wonderful opportunities offered.
Let the Light shine true.
Mr Matthew Ryan, Assistant Principal
