Celebration of Excellence Evening
Our annual Celebration of Excellence was a very successful evening. With over 150 awardees on the night and even more students given certificates in Year Meetings earlier that day for their Commitment to Learning, Semester Two 2024 has been an incredibly successful semester of learning for our students.
We welcomed students, staff, parents and family members, special and invited guests on the evening when, as a community we gathered not just to celebrate the achievements of our students, but also to give due regard to the College values which these awardees exemplify, including discipline, resilience and the pursuit of excellence.
Piper Schadel, Domremy alumna and PhD student, spoke strongly about her research into breast cancer treatment and it was wonderful to hear one of our own speak about positive movements in the treatment of this very difficult disease. Piper’s love of STEM, and Science in particular, fostered during her time at Domremy, has been turned to a focus on breast cancer, straddling her own involvement in these courses at school and her work on the Pink Ribbon Walk as a leader during her time at Domremy.
A large number of special and invited guests once again demonstrated our strong links to the local community, our Catholic faith, and our Presentation charism.
We thank all of the parents who attended and the many special guests from Sydney Catholic Schools, the Presentation Sisters, our local parishes and NSW education bodies.
A highlight of the year, our Celebration of Excellence evening was also an opportunity to showcase some of our talented artists and musicians with a contemporary dance performance and String Ensemble through the evening, finishing on a high note with a performance of “Life is a Highway” by our Junior Rock Band.
Many thanks again to all our wonderful staff involved in ensuring the event was a great success.ย
