I’ve had the great pleasure this week to join with the Year 9 Dominic Team on their Challenge Walk as they have tested their endurance as an example of our “perseverance” core value. It was also an opportunity to take time in a beautiful setting on the Yarra River to build on relationships and to reflect on the goals that each hopes to achieve this year. Acknowledging that COVID-19 is still prevalent in our community, there is nonetheless a spirit of great optimism at the College as students settle back into their routines and we once again feel the rhythm of College life that makes Aquinas such a vibrant community.
