Dear Community Members
As we conclude another term I would like to acknowledge the work and achievements that have occurred over the past 10 weeks.
As Principal, it is always a privilege to witness the ongoing commitment of our staff and students to our Dominican Community. Teaching and Learning has been our priority once again this term and it has been uplifting to read and sign all student semester reports and hearing about the learning that has taken place.
I am pleased to advise that at its June meeting, the Infrastructure, Planning & Development Committee at the Catholic Education Office, endorsed the application for approval of a Master Plan for Dominican School, Semaphore.
The motion carried was as follows:
That IPAD Committee endorse the request from Dominican School, Semaphore to have its Master Plan considered and approved as a basis for future regeneration and development of the school site.
This means that we can now move to the design phase with our Architect, Brown Falconer. I look forward to sharing these developments with you.
Last Wednesday our Director of Catholic Education South Australia, Dr Neil McGoran visited Dominican School. This was a highly successful visit where Dr Neil witnessed our school in action. He was extremely impressed with the teaching and learning that was taking place during his time with us. Dr McGoran met with all Staff and Board Members and engaged in rich dialogue about all aspects of our school. He was photographed with some of our students which will feature in The Advertiser in August.
I would like to thank all members of our school community who assist in so many ways to ensure that we continue to achieve new levels of excellence. I sincerely wish all families a safe and enjoyable holiday break.
Term 3 commences on Monday 19 July and I look forward to welcoming you back to the new term.
Kind regards
Phil Holmes, PRINCIPAL
