On Monday our Concern Debate team took on Drumshanbo Vocational School in a most interesting and well argued debate. Dominican College proposed the motion that ‘Boycotting is the most effective way to end fast fashion’. Well done to both teams. The results will be announced in due course. The team will be hoping to make it two from two. Our picture shows Agata Zydbel (timekeeper), Emma Ulmshneider (chairperson), Madeleine Hardy (captain), Kylie Ampofo, Eviera Omelchenko And Zahra Fitzgerald.

A look back to our Annual School Mass last Thursday! 🕊️ Hearing the voices of our School Choir singing the 'Dominican Magnificat' truly brought our school community together.

It was a special day centered around the theme of Love, embracing the Dominican spirit of Veritas (Truth) and the call to Bi Cinealta (Kindness). We were also delighted to acknowledge the Catholic Jubilee Year 2025: Pilgrims of Hope.

A big thank you to Fr. Michael for officiating and to everyone who contributed to making the Mass so meaningful:

Ms. O'Boyle, Dr. Kinsella, Me. Grehan & Ms. O'Hanlon for their wonderful musical preparations and accompaniments.

Our students who shared through readings, prayers, reflections, and the offertory procession.

Head Girl Ciara Kelly for addressing the congregation at the start, and Dr. Kinsella for the closing words.

The Dominican Nuns who graced us with their presence.

The 5th Year Prefects, Mr. O'Doherty, and our Religion teachers for their excellent organisation and coordination.

This annual event is a cornerstone of our school calendar, uniting us all in faith and community. ❤️

Parking Notification
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We have received a number of complaints from local residents regarding parking during morning drop-off and afternoon collection times. In particular, there have been issues with cars parking on footpaths and blocking driveway entrances.
We fully understand that the area around the school can be very busy at these times; however, we would ask all parents and guardians to please be mindful of our neighbours and to avoid parking in a way that causes inconvenience or obstruction.
Your cooperation helps us maintain positive relationships with the local community and ensures the safety and wellbeing of all our students and pedestrians.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Kind regards,Dr. Alan KinsellaPrincipalDominican College, Galway
