This week we held the first of our College Feast Days for 2018. It was a magnificent community day for our students and staff - commencing in class groups - having fun, being with friends, then praying together at mass. Sharing a meal and then playing games with each other out on the oval were further highlights. Our patron and founder, St John Bosco did this with his own students over 150 years ago on special feast days of the Church. The boys at the Oratory would have mass together, go on a walk in the countryside, have a picnic and play games together. Like our students, the boys of the Oratory loved it.

I want to thank all families who supported the 140 students who represented Dominic College on ANZAC Day during the term break. It means a lot to us that so many students and staff took the time to break their vacation, dress in their formal uniform and gather with other students and staff to honour those who have both served and sacrificed for our nation.
