Class of 2026: Graduating School Captains’ Celebratory Dinner at NSW Parliament

On Wednesday 16 September, Annaliese, Antonia and Neve, were invited to a celebratory dinner hosted by Ms Stephanie Di Pasqua MP, Member for Drummoyne and Domremy College alumna, at NSW Parliament House. 

The evening began with a tour of Parliament House, giving us along with the Captains from other schools, a behind the scenes look at where decisions affecting our community are made. We learned about the history of the building, how parliament works day to day and the role a local member plays in representing their electorate.

Ms Di Pasqua was incredibly warm and welcoming throughout the night. She took the time to speak with each student, asked about their leadership roles and genuinely showed an interest in their goals and ideas. Her encouragement left a lasting impression on everyone.

During the dinner, Ms Di Pasqua shared her own leadership journey and offered valuable advice to the student leaders, speaking about the importance of listening, staying true to your values and leading by example. Students were also given the opportunity to ask her questions, and our captains took full advantage, asking about her path into public life, the challenges of leadership and how young people can make a difference in their communities.

A highlight of the evening was the chance to meet and connect with other school captains from across the Drummoyne electorate. Each captain shared experiences, swapped ideas about leading their school communities and built new friendships with young people who share their commitment to service. We are very grateful to Ms Di Pasqua and her team for such a memorable and inspiring evening.
