One of the highlights on the Santa Sabina calendar is the Dom’s Day celebrations, to be held this year on Friday 28 July. The day commences with a Mass for the entire College community held in Dom’s Plot. As is tradition, the day for students concludes at 1:00pm. I would like to remind all parents of the early finish on this day so that alternate pick-up arrangements can be made for their children.
With many members of the Santa Sabina community travelling abroad over the winter vacation, I would like to remind families that we have a geographical block on our network access. This means that if parents or students would like to access Veritas Online or Parent Lounge while overseas, by default they will not be able to access the network. If there is an urgent need to access the College sites, please email helpdesk@ssc.nsw.edu.au and the IT staff will be able to assist on a case-by-case basis. Please note that given time differences, some requests will not be able to be fulfilled immediately.
After an enforced layoff, 2024 will see the return of international tours for the College. International Tours are one of the highlights of a student’s time at the College and provide students with a rich appreciation of the world around them. Staff are in the preliminary stages of organising tours for 2024, with proposals including:
| Trip | Audience | Time |
| Languages Tour to Italy | 2024 – Years 10 and 11 Italian students | April 2024 |
| Sports Tour to New Zealand | 2024 – SSC representative sport teams | April 2024 |
| History Tour to Germany and Italy | 2024 – Years 10 and 11 History students | September 2024 |
| World Challenge Trip to Vietnam | 2024 – Years 11 and 12 students | June 2024 |
| Music Tour to Italy | 2025 – Years 7 to 12 Music students | September 2025 |
A more comprehensive tours schedule for 2025 and beyond will be shared with parents at a later date.
