Voting is in – Two new College Houses for 2025 announced

In our last issue we reported that Domremy College would be welcoming two new Houses in 2025. Both students and staff participated in a survey to select the Patroness for each of the new Houses. This feedback, along with input from nearly 200 student submissions for House names, and suggestions from our Presentation Sisters, guided this process.

We are excited to announce that voting is in and the two new College Houses have been announced as:

Siena House: Honouring St Catherine of Siena. This House will be represented by the colour Orange, symbolising flame, happiness, enthusiasm and youthful connections. These values will serve as a guiding light for all members of Siena House as they embody the spirit and legacy of St Catherine.

Joseph House: Drawing inspiration from the Presentation Sisters and named in honour of Mother Joseph Dunne. This House will be represented by the colour Pink, a colour that reflects empathy, kindness, and community spirit. The values of Joseph House will align with the mission and vision of Mother Joseph Dunne and the Presentation Sisters.

These new House names, colours, and values have been carefully formulated to foster a strong sense of identity, belonging, and purpose for our College community. 

What Happens Next: 

Crests will be designed along similar lines to our existing House crests.

As we move towards the beginning of 2025, all aspects of the new Houses will be finalised. Our Year 11 and 12 students will also have the exciting opportunity to express their interest in becoming House Captains and House Vice Captains for both Siena and Joseph Houses. 

We look forward to the vibrant energy, spirit, and sense of community that Siena and Joseph Houses will bring to our College. This marks an exciting new chapter, and we can’t wait to see these houses come to life! Together, let us celebrate this new journey and continue to build a strong, inclusive, and connected College community.
