From the Acting Assistant Principal
Welcome Back to a New School Year!
As we embark on a new academic year, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to the Domremy family for welcoming me into the community. I am excited to introduce myself as the new Acting Assistant Principal of Domremy College. It is truly an honor to be part of such a vibrant, dedicated and faith filled community, and I look forward to working alongside our incredible staff, students, and families to continue fostering a positive and supportive learning environment.
I have had the privilege of working in three SCS Secondary Schools where I have had experience in a range of leadership roles that have had a significant influence on the person, educator and leader I am today. I am a very passionate and dedicated educational leader who strives for excellence in teaching and learning. As a Catholic leader, I aim to guide, shape and mould the lives of young women by providing authentic and real world learning experiences that allow them to thrive in our ever changing world. I am a lifelong learner who is committed to creating a strong culture of learning, improving student learning outcomes and wellbeing.
As we begin a new school year, let us aim to work in partnership to support the young women of Domremy achieve their personal best, as they strive for excellence in all that they pursue. Our Holy Father Pope Francis encourages the faithful to see life’s challenges as opportunities for new growth saying, “At times, life presents great challenges. Through them, the Lord calls us anew to a conversion that can make his grace more evident in our lives, in order that we may share his holiness (Heb 12:10). At other times, we need only find a more perfect way of doing what we are already doing: There are inspirations that tend solely to perfect in an extraordinary way the ordinary things we do in life.”
During this Jubilee year let us continue to be beacons of hope shining our light into the darkness.
God of love, We ask you to accompany us on our journey of hope. Help us to always look beyond ourselves and see the needs of others. Give us the courage to stand up for justice, the kindness to care for those around us, and the faith to walk in your light. May we use our words and actions to be instruments of Your peace, spreading love and hope wherever we go. Amen. Venerable Nano Nagle, Pray for us. |
