Footy Colours Day

On Friday 22 September, Prep-Year 10 held their Footy and Sports Colours Day! It was fantastic to see such a high participation level from students, with a large spread of team colours and sporting codes.

Footy Colours Day is held in the time leading up to the AFL Grand Final as a way for communities to celebrate belonging. At Dominic College it is a chance to display favourite footy and sporting teams colours and celebrate belonging in many different ways. This year, many students wore their own clubs sporting uniforms which showed pride and a love for their clubs.

Identifying with a team allows students to feel a sense of belonging and fosters friendship and camaraderie. Students can interact socially and develop cooperation and team work skills.

Teamwork skills are taught at developed in so many ways at Dominic College. In the classroom and through extra-curricular activities, students have the opportunity to develop a sense of belonging, co-operation, growth and having fun through these social interactions.
