Celebrating the Spirit of St Martin’s House
25 June
Earlier this term, Damascus College celebrated St Martin’s Day with a student-led assembly that showcased the spirit, leadership and talent of St Martin’s House.
The assembly recognised and celebrated student sporting achievements, highlighting the commitment, teamwork and success of students both on and off the field. A vibrant talent show brought energy to the stage, with students confidently sharing their creativity through a variety of performances. It was wonderful to see so many students embracing the opportunity to participate and celebrate the gifts and talents within their House.
Students also shared updates on upcoming College events, including Do It For Dolly Day and the College production of Animal Farm, helping to keep the Damascus community informed and connected.
St Martin’s Day provides an opportunity to honour the life and legacy of St Martin de Porres and reflect on the values he embodied. His example of humility, compassion, service and care for others continues to inspire our community, with students encouraged to live the St Martin’s House values of Service, Participation, Trust, Diligence and Truth each day.
Congratulations to the St Martin’s House Captains – Kate, Lucy, Lachlan and Archie – for their outstanding leadership and organisation, and thank you to every student who contributed to making the celebration such a memorable occasion.
