Opening College Mass

Every year at Dominic College, we plan that the very first time we gather as a whole school community, that it will be in prayer.

On Wednesday, 13 February, all students and staff (except Kindergarten) gathered in the Savio Centre to pray. Our focus was to give thanks to God for our College community and to ask God to guide us and watch over us throughout the year.

We started the new school year with the added blessing of having our Salesian community celebrate with us. We welcomed Fr Peter (our College Rector), Fr Guy (Parish Priest at St John’s Parish Glenorchy), Fr Damien, Fr Bob, Br Barry and our visiting Salesian brother, Br Dominic.

Our College Rector, Fr Peter Rankin SDB spoke eloquently in his homily about his hopes for our students in 2019 – that they give their best. The respect and reverence students displayed was excellent and they are to be commended on their focus and attention and involvement in our liturgy.

Students are to be commended as they participated in the Mass with reverence and respect.

It was a wonderful way to start the year. Our 7-10 College Captains and Vice Captains, Mission Captains, K-6 Captains and Vice Captains all displayed wonderful leadership by taking on various roles throughout the Eucharistic Mass.
