Primary School Visits

Our feeder Primary Schools form part of the greater Domremy College community, with many students from our feeder Primary Schools choosing Domremy for their secondary education.

At the start of each year, our Principal and members of the College Leadership team, together with student volunteers, visit our local feeder Primary Schools and engage with the students, answering their enthusiastic and at times very insightful questions about high school. Throughout the year, primary schools students also visit the College via Open Day, our College Tours, our Try Domremy for a Day program, in addition to other invitations such as to the College Musical, STEM days and the like.

Our Primary School Visits form part of this community driven engagement and our student volunteers are always great ambassadors for the College. Thank you to the students who are participating over the next couple of weeks. To the many others that we couldn’t accommodate, thank you too for your willingness to participate and rest assured that there will be many opportunities at Domremy for you to contribute and lead.

Here is a report from two of our Year 8 student ambassadors who attended the first of the Primary School Visits this week.

On Monday 10 February, we went to St Columba’s Primary School in Leichhardt with our College Captain Olivia Azzi and Mrs Marino. It was such a fun experience to visit schools and tell the students about our amazing community. St Columba’s students asked some important questions about high school life. When we got to St Columba’s Mrs Marino explained the activities that our school is involved in and the facilities we have. We talked about sport, Year 7 camp, carnivals – including Domremy Day, school activities, the Study Hub – and we spoke about the astonishing opportunities that are available at Domremy. After this, the students watched a video that showed some of these experiences. 

Subsequently, we talked to the students about our personal Year 7 experiences at Domremy. Olivia Azzi then talked about leadership roles and committees to give the young students an idea about what they would like to participate in, in the near future. Then, the students asked a couple of questions about Domremy life. Finally, on our way out, students were given tote bags with information about our school.

Special thanks to our Bus driver Bruno, who drove us and will be driving the other Domremy students to the other schools for the next couple of weeks, and Mrs Marino for taking the time to take us and organising it. These visits will be going on for the next couple of weeks, we can’t wait to talk to more students and discuss everything about Domremy with them.
