All of you are most welcome to join us for this evening’s Fete Meeting at 7.30pm in the College Reception area. There are a dynamic group of parents and friends, focused on continuing the long tradition of community,

which makes this College so special.

Home and AwayAt home base, Self-Love Week was an initiative thought up by our SRCs and they are to be congratulated on promoting self-care on an individual and community level. I was quite moved during the bead making activity held in our Hall. Without prompting, girls across year levels were affirming each other, and many of our older students stopped what they were doing, to instead assist junior primaries to cut string, tie that tricky knot, or thread beads.

In the last week, eight students and a parent were worthy recipients of Confirmation and First Communion. We congratulate them.

As I write this, our Year 9s are currently away, enjoying their three-day annual camp at Baptist Care SA Mylor, under the care of their Year 9 class teachers. Over the years, this camp has proven to be quite a hit among the girls and year after year, we are reminded of the fond memories formed at this camp, particularly by our Year 12s who note this as one of their school highlights.

Parking Restrictions We are being visited regularly by the Adelaide City Council traffic inspectors. Please be mindful of this, particularly at pick-up and drop-off times.

The recent restrictions to parking in North Adelaide and around our College’s perimeter, in what the Council are terming a ‘trial period’, has caused an untenable parking situation. As a College that has made a positive mark in North Adelaide since 1884, we will continue to insist that we too, along with residents, should have an equal voice in decision making. This ‘trial period’ will be reviewed by Council later this month.

Important Communication With this Bulletin, your daughter should have passed on important communication from the Chair of our College Board, Mr Jim Howard. This will also be sent to you via email. I am grateful to Mr Howard and our Board Directors, who continue to be of immense support to Sr Jill, myself, and this community. We continue to pray for Sr Jill’s speedy recovery, so that in 2020 she is able to enjoy the retirement that she so richly deserves.

Happy Father’s DayWishing the fathers and father figures of our

community a belated Happy Father’s Day!Father’s Day is celebrated worldwide to recognize the contributions that fathers and father figures make to the lives of children. At our Chapel Mass on Friday, our Reception Class celebrated the great men in their lives, in the most genuine of ways. Watching on, it became clear that Father’s Day, more than anything, provides a space for your children to express gratitude, love and respect in an explicit way.

Connecting to the PastOn Thursday, we welcomed Lorraine Williams and Julie Clume to St Dominic’s Priory College. These women are descendants (4th and 5th great nieces respectively) of our Foundress, Mother Rose Columba Adams (1832 — 1891). After taking a trip back in time, through sharing of information and artefacts, we eventually toured our heritage Chapel.

These fine women are pictured in the Chapel, holding an image of their great, great, ... , great aunt. It is thanks to the legacy of £6,000 which Mother Rose Columba’s father left her in his will, that the Chapel was ever built. Although she did many of the drawings for the Chapel and the funds her father left her in his Will saw it completed, Mother Rose Columba did not live to see its completion. Today, the most significant building of St Dominic’s is our heritage Chapel, which links our present to our early history.

Year 7/2020 Orientation EveningBy the time this Bulletin comes home, we will be well into our Orientation evening for our Year 7/2020 cohort. We welcome the current Year 6s from St Dominic’s together with students from 25 local and interstate Primary school communities.

The schools from which these families come, have had close ties with us for many years. Their students are wonderful representatives of their communities. I hope that after this Orientation evening, these ninety students will feel a little more at home in their new environment.

Last Friday our Reception Class focused on celebrating the special gifts their fathers, grandfathers, step fathers,

uncles etc bring to their lives, at our morning Chapel Mass. Miss Delloso and myself were very proud of the girls’ reverence, focus and engaged singing. We know too that the parents who attended were as equally proud. We were pleased so many were able to stay and join us with morning tea afterwards.

We thank our Year 2 Class who led us so well at our Assembly on Tuesday. They spoke confidently and conducted themselves respectfully. We all enjoyed their Bollywood dancing as they are preparing for the Indian Showcase Night. We were particularly moved by their opening prayer where they reminded us of the importance of this message.

‘Let us pray together that we will live gratefully with one another, as one human family, walking together to make a better world. Let us open our hearts to the transforming power of love and respect, upholding the dignity of every person and communities around the world.’

Amen

On Monday 26 August the Year 1s visited the Wingfield Waste and Recycling Centre as part of our Sustainability unit of work.

Earth Watch Day‘Yesterday was Earth Watch Day and we weren’t

allowed to turn any lights on or use computers and we had no heating so we had to bring a little rug. We did it because it will save the world because you are actually

saving power. It was the best day ever!’ Lily, Year 1

Year 9 RetreatOn 28 August the Year 9 Retreat was held at Bethany Conference Centre. This day was full of self-reflection and understanding the importance of adolescence. We reflected upon our childhood, and reminded ourselves who we really are. The day finished with a retreat tradition of writing a letter to our future selves. Overall, the day was full of fun and the letter was the best way to finish it.

Ishva Rathod Methuli Pathirana

The Year 9 Retreat was, as promised, a relaxed day where we got to look further into our own lives and those of others in our year level. After some activities, we enjoyed the retreat’s signature St Peter’s Bakery scones, which were quickly s-gone!

Throughout the day, we reflected on our strengths and weaknesses, skills and flaws; as well as the roles and responsibilities we may experience in the future. We recalled our early childhood and wrote about the habits we wished to leave behind as we transition into Year 10 and beyond.

We finished the very calming day by writing our annual letter to our future self, which we will open in Year 12. As always, this was a time of quiet reflection of the year past and the years to come, which became very emotional for some.

Sophie Conti, Tamika Gunson and Roshkan Kashkavij

Sacraments of Confirmation & First Eucharist

We warmly congratulate our students: Caydence, Sienna, Ella, Alexia, Gabrielle, Clare, Isabella and Lucy, and a parent, Mrs Louise Carlier, who received the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist on the weekend, at Rosary Church, Prospect.

We pray that this continues to develop each of your personal relationships with Christ and a true sense of belonging in the Catholic Church.

We celebrate with each family and also extend our gratitude to Mrs Lisa McCormick, of Rosary School, Father Philip and Father Paul, for preparing the candidates and making each initiation service special and memorable.

Una Visita al Mercato!Year 11 ItalianLast Tuesday, as part of their Italian investigation on Made in Italy products, the Year 11 Italian class visited Il Mercato, for a tasting tour of Italian made, imported products.

To begin with, the girls feasted on an Italian flavoured lunch, which was followed by an informative and mouth-watering tour of Italian food products. Our guide, Jianna, spoke to the girls about the origins of Il Mercato and how it has been a family run business for decades. In addition, the girls also learnt about the origins of many other Italian brands and foods, such as Il Mulino Bianco, Aldo Pasta, Alberti Strega and the Bailetti coffee machine. Everyone enjoyed the visit to Il Mercato, and look forward to returning again soon.

We would like to warmly thank the staff of Il Mercato for their hospitality and for making the experience an memorable and enjoyable one.
