A day full of fun, cheering, competitiveness and sportsmanship ensued in what can only be seen as a huge success.

We are most grateful to all our parents, guardians and friends here at Dominic who give up their time each and every week for the service of others: as parent helpers in classrooms, on our excursions, assisting in Mamma Margaret’s Kitchen, coaching sporting teams and many other activities. We give thanks to the students and teachers who also give up their time to help others both in and outside of our community.

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.
