On Friday, 30th October, St Dominic’s students and staff came together to celebrate Patron Saints Day. Â This event occurs close to All Saints Day each year here at St Dominic’s and it is a time when we promote and recognise our school faction patron saints; St Catherine of Siena, St Thomas Aquinas, St Rose of Lima and St Vincent Ferrer. Â We began this years event by coming together in the hall to listen to some history about each of the saints and then headed out to our tabloid sports activities. Â The activities were tug-of-war, musical bobs, a sponge and bucket water relay and a teaching dunking machine. Â We finished off the very hot afternoon by enjoying an icy pole together before heading home. Â Thank you to the Year 6 leaders and sports captains who helped to organise and run the events, and to the Foster family for organising the dunking machine. Â Thanks also to all the students for their teamwork, respect, cooperation and encouragement within their faction. Â It was a great day!
