Xavier Assembly
11 May
Recently Damascus College celebrated Xavier Day with a full school assembly in the John Shannon Centre. It was a wonderful celebration led by House Leader Karen Hocking and Assistant House Leader Hannah Keating. They were supported by the tremendous work of the Xavier Student Representative Council (SRC).
Xavier House is named in honour of Mother Xavier Flood, one of the founding Sisters of the Convent of Mercy, Ballarat East and the first Principal of Sacred Heart College. The values of Xavier House include Tolerance, Learning, Endeavour, Excellence, and Community.
The assembly included performances from Zeb Nelson, Yr 11 and Adele Lockhart, Yr 12, as well as a spirited dance routine by the Xavier Yr 12 students. Yr 7 students provided a rundown on the camp they attended earlier this year, while Belinda Dwyer and a couple of VCAL students gave a rundown on what they are doing. Sport coordinator Nikki Hexter had the opportunity to present medals to students to celebrate their athletic success.
Interim Principal Christopher Grant finished up the assembly by congratulating the Damascus students on all they have accomplished thus far this year and inviting the students from Xavier House to enjoy a pizza lunch.
