Traditional induction for new St. Dominic students

SOUTH REWARD--The 75 new students who joined St. Dominic High School's first forms were served a 'special potion' as part of their induction into the new school during a fun orientation session on Monday.

The session was conducted by fifth formers and the special potion was served in keeping with the school's tradition. New teachers were also required to take the specially prepared potion before reciting the school's pledge.

The ceremony appeared to be fun for the general student population and teachers who attended.

Principal Jose Sommers said in addition to the 75 new students joining the school's first forms, an additional 15 students have joined other forms including the new International Baccalureate (IB) programme. St. Dominic has a total school population of 350 students.

The first batch of IB students will sit exams this year, and Sommers is hoping that the school meets international requirements with an 80 per cent pass rate.

Sommers also said it was very important that students become stakeholders in creating a positive environment at the school and report any bullying that they see.
