Celebrating as a community
Duchesne is proud of the many achievements of its students and takes every opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate their success. Formal dinners, to which parents, alumnae and guests from the wider community are invited, provide an excellent opportunity to celebrate and share the stories of the ‘living tradition’ of Duchesne. The guest speakers are chosen for the way in which their stories will resonate with the audience. These dinners enable students to understand and practise the protocols for such occasions, which is an invaluable advantage as they enter professional life.
