From the College Captain – Term 1 Leadership Wrap-up 

Reflecting on the term gone by, we acknowledge the achievements, events and moments that enriched our Domremy community. The Year 12 leadership team this term has taken the initiative in planning and constructing this term’s events to reflect our school values and implement our College theme “The Storyline is yours… What role will you play?”

Our school committees have continued throughout this term, offering opportunities for new students to get involved in humanities, environment, languages, debating, morning Rosary, orchestra and choir. These committees allow students to foster new relationships across year groups while participating in new learning opportunities. We commend all our Year 12 leaders for their hard work and planning when establishing these committees. 

This term we also congratulated our newly appointed Sienna and Joseph House Captains, Georgia and Mia, along with our various SRC leaders who have started to discuss initiatives to implement for this year. The new leaders have shown a positive impact, and we can’t wait to see their initiatives progress over the year. 

This year’s swimming carnival was nothing but spectacular. Having the theme of ‘Beach Party’, students were encouraged to dress up displaying their house spirit as students completed various events with determination to get their house points needed to win. We congratulate all our swimmers, along with Nagle House, for dominating the swimming carnival and emerging as overall champion, whilst Orleans House was victorious and a standout in succeeding in its house cheers and war cries.

Highlights of the term included Domremy’s Open Day and our students’ involvement in Vinnies’ Sandwich making. Both initiatives encouraged widespread participation and exemplified Domremy’s core values in action. 

Driven by a spirit of generosity, our school community actively fundraised for Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion this term. Our initiatives included a fun St Patrick’s Day Green donut sale and a memorable Domremy ‘Teacher v Teacher Family Feud’ that brought everyone together. Further celebrating our unity, Harmony Day saw two cultural performances, students connecting over extended lunchtime picnics with friends, complemented by a delicious bake sale featuring the diverse flavours of our cultures.

Looking ahead to next term, we are thrilled to continue our Year 12 journey and create memories through upcoming key events such as  Domremy Day and our Athletics Carnival. We also extend our sincere thanks to all the teachers, particularly Mrs. McGahan and Mrs. Vassallo, whose invaluable support ensures the smooth running of all our events.
