    What’s in a name?

    In Roman mythology,

    Vertias, was the goddess of

    truth. It was also the name

    given to the Roman virtue

    of truthfulness, which was

    considered one of the main

    virtues any good Roman

    should possess. This Latin

    word appears in the mottos

    of many schools and

    colleges around the world,

    and was part of the Savio

    College crest, featuring on

    school blazers.

    When Savio College, Holy

    Name Secondary School

    for girls, Savio Primary

    and St John’s Primary

    amalgamated in 1973 to

    form Dominic College, a

    new motto for the College

    was created - Live by the

    Truth

    The motto is a clear and

    concise message taken

    from the Third Letter of St.

    John the Apostle. It should

    be the ambition of every

    Christian student to live

    by the truth as personified

    in Christ, our model. This

    idea is strengthened by the

    College Shield, where the

    Torch symbolises the light

    of Truth that will guide us to

    our Star, Christ.

    welcome

    Dominic College is a Kindergarten to Year 10, Catholic, Co-educational College, conducted by the

    Salesians of Don Bosco. We aim to educate the whole person, spiritually and academically, to ensure

    each of our students achieve incredible goals.

    Welcome to our first edition of Veritas, the inaugural

    publication of Dominic College’s Old Scholars’

    Association. The purpose of Veritas is to support Old

    Scholars to stay connected with each other and sustain

    a sense of connectedness to our College Community.

    We hope to celebrate the continuing lives and

    achievements of our ex-students and to share with

    our current students and families the possibilities of life,

    once they leave our care.

    Inspiration for our Students

    Old Scholars act as a very significant source of

    inspiration for our students. The success of our Old

    Scholars in building upon their education at Dominic to

    reach their potential in their professional and personal

    lives inspires our students. Your lives encourage our

    present students to reach high to achieve their goals

    and to be happy.

    Don Bosco’s great desire was that all of his students be

    happy. This desire of our founder and guide still drives us

    in the work that we undertake at Dominic. Veritas aims

    to be a window into that happiness and the journey

    of our Old Scholars in the pursuit of happiness in their

    lives.

    Old Scholars Continue our Story

    through their Children

    Old Scholars play a very significant role in the

    continuing story of Dominic College. A number of

    our former students return to work with us in our

    educational endeavours with children and young people.

    These staff members greatly enrich our capacity to be

    an authentic school in the tradition of Don Bosco.

    We have many Old Scholars who return to our

    community as parents wishing to enrol their children in

    their alma mater. Even though the school environment

    and academic programs look different to their school

    days, they are seeking to have their children experience

    and be formed in the same Salesian values in which

    they have been formed. They want their children to

    have diverse opportunities for their development and

    to make life-long friendships at Dominic as they have

    made.

    New Facilities bring New Learning

    Opportunities

    It is a great joy for us to have our Old Scholars return

    to visit the College either individually or as a group in

    reunion and remembering. The College might look a

    little different but it still retains that atmosphere of a

    welcoming family home.

    The expansive grounds and green fields of Dominic

    College continue to be one of our unchanging

    treasures. Our new facilities developments begun

    18 months ago through the Commonwealth

    Government’s Building in Education Revolution are

    coming to final fruition in 2011.

    Last year we completed and opened the Br Peter

    Dezani Design Centre. This year we will bless and

    open our new Science facilities, our K-10 Dance studio

    that will also be used for a diverse range of integrated

    learning activities and our new multi-purpose Savio

    Centre. The Savio Centre is designed for K-10 Health,

    PE and LOTE. These facilities represent a new era of

    creative learning at Dominic College. Old Scholars

    are warmly invited to these celebrations of the

    ongoing development of the College as a dynamic and

    contemporary learning community.

    Your lives are part of our past, present and future story

    of Dominic and we pray always that you continue to

    connect with each other and with us.

    DOSA Committee

    During 2010, a number of passionate Old

    Scholars and current Dominic staff began

    work to revive the Dominic Old Scholars

    Association (DOSA) with the aim of

    exploring avenues for communication,

    participation and connection with the

    College.

    The Committee is represented by:

    - Ms Beth Gilligan, College Principal

    - Fr Frank Bertagnolli SDB, College

    Rector

    - Mrs Caroline Jager, Old Scholars

    Coordinator

    - Mr Tony Webb, Old Scholar (1963),

    former parent and staff member

    - Ms Diane Byrne (Cerritelli), Old

    Scholar (1973), former parent and staff

    member

    - Ms Leesa Baker, Old Scholar (1986) and current

    parent

    In 2011, the focus for the Committee will be:

    - decadal class reunions (full details on page 7)

    - establishing a membership program for all Old

    Scholars

    - fundraising opportunities

    - specific DOSA events for Old Scholars to get

    together and reconnect with the College

    With the Committee wishing to widen the appeal of

    the Association to all Old Scholars, the Class of 2010

    were inducted into the Association during the Year 10

    Graduation Mass held at St John’s Parish. All students

    were presented with a keyring to mark their transition

    from student to Old Scholar.

    In addition to the presentation of the commemorative

    key rings, DOSA has been a long-standing supporter

    of the College Awards. The Association presents the

    Br Peter Dezani Award to the Year 10 student who

    has achieved overall academic excellence supported

    by an active school spirit as displayed by leadership,

    community service and sporting commitment.

    The Committee is looking for an Old Scholar who left the College between the years of 1990-1999 and

    2000-2009 to join them in raising the profile of DOSA and coordinating DOSA events. If you are interested,

    Opening of the Dezani Design Centre

    On Saturday 13 November 2010, around a 100 people

    from the wider College community gathered at the

    College to celebrate the Blessing and Dedication of the

    Dezani Design Centre.

    Most of the people gathered had known the man after

    whom the Centre is named – Br Peter Dezani – a

    religious Salesian Brother, who spent the last 34 years

    of his life at Dominic College teaching and instructing in

    the areas of Technical Drawing and Woodwork.

    During the ceremony one could almost feel the

    presence of a wonderful and unassuming man, even

    though the event was aligned with the 10th anniversary

    of his death. He was a man with a large heart, a warm

    smile, a welcoming word and peculiar sayings that have

    become part of the Dominic folklore.

    In the ten years since his death, many things have

    changed, and life has moved on. A few things still

    remain as a “memorial” to his vision and commitment

    the DOSA sporting teams continue to play in various

    competitions and the Christmas Vigil Mass is still

    celebrated in the Chapel every year. And now his name

    is associated with a building that embodies the Dominic

    tradition of offering skills, training and opportunities for

    our students. We hope that the students who learn

    new practical skills in the Dezani Centre also learn to

    cherish the values of life and service as testified by

    Brother Peter in his life.

    Holy Name Reunion class of:

    In November 2010, a group of 16 girls

    gathered at Dominic College, 40 years

    after they left Holy Name. This was the

    first reunion that had been organised,

    so there was a lot of news to catch up

    on. The girls had travelled from Western

    Australia, South Australia, Queensland

    and Victoria to re-connect with one

    another and to reminisce about their

    days at school together.

    They talked non-stop, shared

    photographs, laughed and cried and all

    shared something of their life journey

    with one another. The women spoke of

    the things that had nourished them in

    their lives, where and with whom they’d

    found love, their great joys, their disappointments and

    terrible losses and their struggles.

    Most had not seen each other in 40 years and their

    honesty and truth with which they spoke showed that

    the College’s motto of Veritas had been held in their

    hearts all their lives.

    One student, Ann Tolman, recounted this story from

    their days at Holy Name:

    As a group of young girls we went through a lot together.

    Everyone remembers the 1960’s as strange new times for

    music, sex and drugs. Living in Hobart was no different

    except that we mainly read about these things in US and UK teen magazines and tried to live out our version of this new age when we actually had very little to go on. Short skirts, long hair and loud music seemed so outrageous yet we didn’t want to miss out on anything.

    We watched the moon landing together in our third year of high school and (on occasion) were (gingerly) introduced to boys from the ‘mainland’ who came to play football with Savio students.

    It was a ‘new’ school, and I can remember marvelling at ‘indoor’ slippers, bunsen burners and the wall-mounted buzzer that would herald the change of classes. Prior to this, hand-held bells (or cow bells as we called them) were rung to signal the change of class.

    Sr Lucy Davey was one of our class teachers and most of us thought she was ‘pretty cool’. She taught English in 1970 and one of our books was Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. A line from that book was ‘we talk, I believe, all day long’. Sr Lucy thought this was very appropriate for our class.

    In the book it was a reference to conversations between Jane and Mr Rochester – for us it was purely the fact that,

    as young girls, in the aforementioned 1960s full of hope

    the College. Old Scholars are invited to attend the reunions, reconnect with

    and excitement, and hormones and expectations, none of

    us valued silence.

    I don’t know whose idea it was, but Carol Laskey (Gibson)

    and I decided on our last day of school in 1970 to abscond

    with the bell and have it engraved with these words. Our

    idea wasn’t to get caught – of course - but to replace it the

    next day and forever have our class motto left within the

    halls of Holy Name.

    The wide variety of fields that these women are

    now working in includes, education, disability services,

    childcare, the arts, health and medical, community

    services, retail and private enterprise.

    Thanks and appreciation must go to Claire Delany

    who dedicated so much of her time tracking down

    her classmates from across the nation and to Lindy

    Bateman (Walsh) for providing Moorilla wine that was

    thoroughly enjoyed over the course of the day.

    rambunctious Monty Python musical Spamalot. For

    those who caught the production, you may have seen

    the familiar face of Danielle Lipscombe (2005)

    performing in the colourful and side-splitting comedy.

    The College’s Visual Arts exhibition, Generate, was held

    at the Long Gallery in early November, showcasing the

    talents of current Dominic students as well as staff and

    Old Scholars. At the official opening of Generate, Old

    Scholar and world renowned opera singer Michael

    Lampard (2001) addresses the audience, talking

    about his days at Dominic and how he was always

    encouraged to pursue his dreams. Following his

    address, Michael wowed the audience with a rendition

    of the Impossible Dream.

    Like so many families that have passed through the

    halls of Dominic College, the Chappel family had

    four students at the school during the 1980s. All

    the children are now spread across the globe, while

    their mother remains in Tasmania, living in St Helens.

    Christine Schubert (Chappel 1980) has

    two teenage children, living on the northern beaches

    of Sydney and working as a theatre nurse one day a

    week and as support staff at Mater Maria College the

    rest of the week. Jackie Chappel (1981) has three

    teenage children and lives in Queensland working

    in Mental Health. Michael Chappel (1984) is

    married to Debbie, living in New York and working for

    the United Nations. Yvette Chappel (1986) is

    living in Western Australia and is kept busy by her two

    young children.

    Michael Marshall (1997) Since leaving Dominic

    and completing Years 11 and 12 at Guilford Young,

    Michael started an Engineering degree, but changed

    course and studied Human Movement. In his final

    year of study, Michael worked for the western Bulldogs

    Football Club as a Biomechanist/Performance Analyst.

    Michael was offered a position with the Tasmanian

    Cricket Association and moved back to Tasmania

    in 2005 and worked in a number of positions with

    the TCA until 2008. Highlights of his time with the

    TCA include being a part of the support staff for the

    Tasmanian Tigers first Pura Cup win, being appointed

    Head Coach of the South Hobart/Sandy Bay Cricket

    Club and being named in the 07/08 TCA Team of the

    the world, Michael left the position and returned to

    Tasmania just in time for the birth of his first child,

    Jess Palermo (Lyden,1998)

    Secondary Campus The thing that has changed the most at the College is

    the facilities - they are more modern and updated - the

    quality of teaching is still excellent and the same safe,

    secure environment exists. The only other thing that had

    changed, and has since been changed back, is that the

    girls cannot dye their hair, or wear makeup or jewellery.

    LydenPhil Roberts (1974) PRIMARY CAMPUS There are so many changes: the style and method of teaching, there is a greater range of educational sporting and co-curricular activities, stronger support for those students requiring it and the school is now very well established and recognised as having an excellent reputation in the wider community.

    Michele Guy (Cleary, 1981)

    Campus Administration

    The main change for me has been the progress of the

    buildings and the technology implemented into the

    classrooms. Computers were in very early development

    then and now we have an IT team with wireless network

    s,

    interactive whiteboards and the implementation of

    individual laptops. It is my belief the Salesian ethos

    is as strong now as it was 30+ years ago......I am just

    experiencing it now through the eyes of an adult!

    Cameron Golding (1999)

    PRIMARY CAMPUS

    The one thing that has changed the most at the

    College for me is the amazing Primary campus

    that has been built.

    Old Scholars on StaffWith almost twenty Old Scholars as current staff members at Dominic, we posed the following question to some of them:

    What’s the one thing that has changed the most at the College since you were a student?

    Clinton Baker (1982) Campus Administration The biggest change since I was a student would have to be the move of the Primary Campus from Bowden Street to Tolosa Street, creating one campus to cater for Kindergarten to Year 10.

    Baker

    Paul Williams (1969) SECONDARY CAMPUS The biggest change is that every room and building now has a different use. For example, when I was a student the machine and woodwork rooms were located off to the side of the White House and as a boarder in my final year, I had nightly dinners in what is now my office.

    Willams

    Rosemary Street (Fielding, 1969)

    Campus Administration

    The uniform has changed the most. Being a

    student of Holy Name, we had to wear the

    thick tunics, hats and gloves...no matter how

    hot the weather was.

    Kimbra Burke (1988)

    PRIMARY CAMPUS

    We are now all together, as one

    school, on the one campus.

    Burke

    Matthew Taylor (1998) E-Learning Services The physical spaces have changed the most – we used to play soccer where the Primary students now learn and basketball where the Design Centre now sits.
