ANNUAL MAGAZINE - Dominican Convent School

Matric
Valedictory Mass
First Holy
Communion
Seeing the matric class of 2012 attend their last Mass at DCS
reminded me of how short my matric year will be. The main
highlight for each matriculant should be what they have
contributed to the school community, so that they may make a
difference in the real world. They are our future leaders, and in
years to come I will be proud to say that we were from a school of
excellence – Dominican Convent School.

Firstly, I would like to thank God and all the people who made
this day a success and all those who came through to support.
It is an honour to have First Holy Communion. It was good and
the best experience in my life, and I learned a lot of things in
the classes, and that First Communion is not just about having
bread. It is about accepting God in your life.

My First Holy Communion was a heartfelt experience which
has now put me on the path of the beginning of my spiritual
journey. It was an emotional and yet such a blissful experience
to be supported by my family and friends, who will support me
throughout my spiritual journey. Receiving the Body and Blood
of Christ is the most spiritually satisfying experience.

On Sunday I went to Holy Communion at church. My mom,
dad, grandparents, godparents and my cousins came to watch
me receive Communion. I was so happy and excited, I could not
wait or sleep, but at night I slept and I had a good and delicious
breakfast. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I said: “Don’t be
scared because you can make a mistake and everyone will be watching.”
When we got to Church it was so beautiful, and the best part was
when I received Jesus in my heart. The End.

I was very excited eating the Body of God. I felt happy because I
wanted to be a child of God. I enjoyed the Mass at Church and the
reading. I also liked the food that was on the tables. Thank you.
The Valedictory Mass of the matric class 2012 was one of a
kind – not only because the matric boys wore shorts with long
socks, and the great and inspirational speech made by Carlos
Belchior (Deputy Head Boy), but because I realised that the end
of school life is a very emotional and life-changing moment. The
Valedictory Mass of 2012 saw Dominican Convent lose a united
and excellent group of adults. I hope in the year to come, the 2013
matrics can also leave a legacy.
