Dear Parents, Millions of Christians around the world are journeying towards the most sacred days in our Calendar, as we enter into the meaning of Jesus’ Last Supper, his journey to the cross of Calvary, and his Resurrection on the third day.Your St. Dominic’s daughters, both primary and secondary, are challenged, according to their age, to reflect on the meaning of Easter, and the love of God revealed in Jesus for each and every one of us. Yesterday Fr Charles Gauci proclaimed John’s Gospel at our Holy Week Reconciliation for Years 7 – 12. Please join with us in spirit by reading it. You might also like to open a conversation with your daughter about its significance in understanding the essence of Christianity. Ask them if they remember what they were told about the grubby feet which Jesus had to wash.

John 13:3-5, 12-17During supper, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.”

A Successful Family Sports DayYou are wonderful parents, and this is always shown when, despite the fact that you would like to be taking it more easily on a Sunday morning, you gather your children and make your way down Brighton Road to the Sacred Heart College oval for the annual Sports Day. After an anxious early 10-minute shower, we managed to keep to a well-structured Sports Program, as organised by our PE staff, from start to finish. There was plenty of enthusiastic action on the track and at the ball games, for all ages, from the 5 year olds through to the 17 and over. Congratulations to Captains, Vice Captains and loyal members of the teams. As you know we acknowledged at the close of the Sports all those who helped in any way to cover the hundred and one things that need to be done in preparation for this big event. Our stalwart behind the scenes person Kathryn Hudson deserves another round of applause as she puts it all back in place. To our Parents and Friends and to all who helped in any way on the field or on the stalls or as providers of food and drink – THANK YOU. All the results are published in todays’ Bulletin as well as the lucky winners of our Sports Day raffle.

St Dominic’s Priory College

Early Sunday morning the strong wind and rain, certainly made me dig deep to find my positive thoughts and Growth

Mindset attitude of: we can do this! While the wind remained, the sun slowly made its presence felt and we carried on. We really did have a very good day. All the teachers and students put considerable time into the preparation of each event and were rewarded with enthusiastic student effort and attitude in all events. We also had an excellent, supportive parent body who gladly volunteered to help with the games, the convening of stalls and a big thank you to those kept us well fed. We also thank the many who work behind the scenes at these school events: Mrs Heggs spent the whole day recording placings of individual and year level points and to Mrs White and Sister Heiu who helped support Junior Primary. Thank you to all our Primary families for returning all Raffle Books before Sunday.

SAPSASA State Carnival Last Thursday Hannah Cameron, Alyssa Tran, Morgan Hillman, Bree Copeland, and Isabelle Tran attended the SAPSASA Swimming Carnival. All students need to be congratulated on their excellent performance and dedication. Many early morning trainings and the considerable support from their parents have helped prepare them for these events.

Morgan finished 11th in the U/11 Butterfly Bree swam an impressive personal best in the U/12 50m Freestyle RelayIsabelle finished 14th in the U/13 Breaststroke, Freestyle and Backstroke

We particularly congratulate Hannah and Alyssa who qualified for finals in their respective age groups amongst a very competitive field:

Hannah made it through to the final (top 8) of the U/13 Breaststroke, finishing in 6th placeAlyssa made it through to the final of the U/11 50m Backstroke finishing in 7th place and came 9th in the 50m Breaststroke

Last Thursday I was fortunate to represent North Adelaide Districts at State Metro Day and had fun cheering on our friends from our zone and

other Adelaide zones. I was very excited to make it through to the 50m breaststroke final.

- Hannah Cameron

St Dominic’s Priory College

Traffic Management on Barnard StreetThe staff and many parents try very hard to safely streamline the movement of students leaving from school in the afternoon but all of us need to make a consistent effort to have the safety of our children paramount. Some concerns from neighbouring residents need to be addressed and effectively acted on: 1. Vehicles blocking driveways (i.e. double

parking) in a way that is not immediately visible to a reversing car

2. Vehicles pulling directly in to a driveway as a resident’s vehicle is attempting to reverse

3. Safety of students running across the road or running ahead of parents and then crossing driveways with reversing cars

4. Definitely no U turns outside a school or 3 point turns in the school driveway

Adelaide City Council Parking and Information Officers and the Eastern Adelaide Police will issue expiations to any vehicles contravening these rules. Please be mindful of your own behaviour around schools, whether in relation to where you park or the respect shown to those trying to ensure pedestrian safety – you are our children’s greatest role model.

The Year 6 class have been in training to become guides for the upcoming Guided Tours. In the process they have had to learn a lot of new information about the school and about significant landmarks in the school grounds.. I learnt that the Conway Library was named after

In and around the classrooms:

YEAR 6

Mother Mary Vincent Conway, a teacher here in the 1960’s and 70’s - Alexandra ChavezI learnt that the St Dominic Statue is a time capsule - Annabel GriffinI learnt that the Drama Room was once a dining room - Ayo Adejoro.

Over 600 teenagers are injured on our roads each year. You CAN do something about it!

Harmony DayWednesday 21 March 2018

Harmony Day is a celebration of our cultural diversity and a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home. Our College community includes a diverse enrolment profile and we are extremely proud of this and celebrate this frequently, not just on Harmony Day.

On Wednesday 21 March, some teachers chose to integrate Harmony Day activities within lesson time, while SRCs also ran an activity with their home class. This meant that each student was able to decorate an orange girl or boy stencil and they also were asked to include words that unite humanity. With these, SRCs decorated their classroom doors and the sea of orange doors helped mark the day’s celebration of diversity and inclusion.

Muriel Noujaim, Deputy Principal (Student Wellbeing)

“EvErYOnE BElOnGs” That’s the Harmony Day message which the Year 3 class embraced as they immersed themselves in orange and various Cultural activities last Wednesday.We were fortunate to have Amanda and Tola come in and share their cultures with us. The Year 3’s are now experts at Italian Sauce Making and Nigerian drumming and dancing!

Tania Piotto, Year 3 Class TeacherThe drumming with Tola was really funny and funky. We did drumming with her. It was so much fun. - Emma

On Harmony Day, the Year 3s got to dress up in orange. We got to try these delicious Nigerian Jolly Balls and Chin Chins. - Piper

When we were making and eating the spuds I thought they were Spud-a-liscious! - Faridah

We did a sand mandala that we enjoyed because it was peaceful. - Trina

My favourite was eating pasta and learning how Amanda and her family makes the sauce. I loved eating the pasta so much I had seconds! - Clare

I learnt asking for more food is a good way of saying it is good in Italy! - Briana

I enjoyed doing the activities and I liked trying new foods. It was a fantastic day. - Nathalie

Made for Greatness Student Leaders Gathering Thursday 15 March 2018

On Thursday 15 March 2018 the ‘Made for Greatness’ student leaders Gathering was held at st Ignatius Parish Hall. The student leaders program aims to support schools in building the leadership capacity of our young people. The program has a Catholic foundation and complements the nurturing of leaders that schools already provide. Five of our students attended this gathering.

Muriel noujaim, Deputy Principal (student Wellbeing)

Chloe, L i ly, Kel l ie , Phuong and I were l u c k y e n o u g h t o at te n d t h e Yo u n g Christian Students ( YC S ) L e a d e r s h i p Conference in order to communicate with other schools and their different approaches to leadership. Leaders

from Blackfriars, Cabra, Sacred Heart and many other schools were there to share their ideas. Thalia Sully (Adelaide YCS Coordinator) was there to give us a few tips and share her methodology; see, judge, act. We all were inspired by this idea of seeing a problem, judging the situation and acting on what needs to be done. Reflection was also a key point in this process as we need to reflect on our actions and reflect how we affect others. We are extremely excited to bring back the knowledge we learnt from the afternoon and apply this to school life.

Sports Day turned out to be a great day after the initial shower of rain and the St Dominic’s school community joined together

to make it another great community event at the Sacred Heart complex. An amazing day that is completely prepared and run by volunteers. We were very grateful to all of the volunteers who assisted on the day to make it such a success.Catering for the day ran smoothly thanks to the tremendous effort of the convenors, who provided sustenance for the community with the assistance of many enthusiastic helpers. Thank you to all who donated their time to help out on stalls on Sunday and in the days and hours prior to the big day. Also a big thank you to the parents and businesses who donated the goods for use on the day. Well done to those who came early to set up, stayed late to clean up, or who spent hours slaving over a hot BBQ, cutting up the fruit for fruit salad, preparing the Vietnamese salads, making coffees or serving the large crowd that was present. Your time and team spirit made all the difference.To the convenors of our stalls, we extend our special thanks for donating hours of your time on the day, and in many instances, many hours in the lead-up to the event. Each year we put aside some time to reflect on the previous year, in a bid to consider any worthwhile enhancements that might result in the event being just that little bit better, but most of all to ensure that it continues to be an enjoyable time for all. A great deal of thought and effort is contributed by many parents and staff and we would welcome any new feedback either by contacting us direct or by your attendance at the next P&F Meeting on Wednesday 23 May.

Well done to all of you.
