ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ students in ANZAC Day commemorations

â€‹ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ students, staff, families and old scholars particpated in community services across Tasmania on ANZAC Day morning. Students marched behind ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ banners and laid wreaths in services at Lenah Valley, Hobart, Glenorchy and New Norfolk. ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ Principal, Ms Gilligan, who attended the New Norfolk ceremonies with over 30 students, said she was impressed with the dedication of our students.

ANZAC Day commemorations 2016

ANZAC Day last year was the 100th Anniversary of the ANZAC Landings at Gallipoli. To commemorate and honour this significant historical occasion we asked all students to get involved in their community as way of recognising and honouring the sacrifices of our forebears. Over 150 ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ students participated in numerous parades and services. This was a fantastic experience for our students to have the chance to be directly involved in such a significant community event. As the years move on, it is important that as Australians we never forget the sacrifice that our soldiers, sailors, airmen and volunteers gave towards the future of our country. As a young vibrant section of the community we have an obligation to provide a link between generations and ensure this sacred day in the Australian calendar is always honoured appropriately.

ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ at the Derwent Festival

Fifteen ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ students ran the robots for visitors to our ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ Robotics tent at the Derwent Valley festival on Sunday 10 April. Director of Teaching and Learning, Mrs Selina Kinne, said the display was an extension of the activities undertaken by the Robotics Club at ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬, who meet weekly, and particpate in a number of competitions each year. "This was a valuable opportunity for students to demonstrate their learning and present a strong image of exciting and engaging learning opportunities at Dominic," Mrs Kinne explained.

Junior Talking Heads triumph

Wednesday was an intense but exciting day for cast members of our inaugural performance project, Junior Talking Heads. At 10am, over 80 students and their teachers from Austins Ferry Primary School were the first audience. The visitors were very appreciative of the opportunity to experience live performance and were also treated to a potted workshop session afterwards, where Miss Brownrigg had all the audience up on stage, moving and improvising.

Students, teachers and parents from schools all over Hobart were present for 18 separate debates involving over 100 students. ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬â€™s involvement in this competition has grown this year, with five teams competing across all year levels. Wednesday night was a great excuse to show off our facilities, and an opportunity for staff to come along and observe our students in action.

The P&F Easter Raffle has received amazing support from all parents, students and the school community with nearly $3000 being raised in just 3 short weeks.
