Parental Company on the School Journey – St Dominic's Priory College

Depending upon your daughter’s age and year level, different aspects of school life make a claim on your love and your time.

Certainly if your children are in Year 4, you have been supporting your daughters as they receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion.
If your daughter is in Year 10 you would have been watching and encouraging her as she finalised her Report for the MYP Personal Project which was due in on Monday afternoon. We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Personal Project exhibition.
Many school events are across year levels and that is true of Book Week being celebrated across Australia this week. We are watching with interest the upcoming challenge for Year 8s who are taking part in the Kids Cancer Project “Write a Book in a Day.“
