CELEBRATION OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT - March 2006
Guest of Honour: Mr Barry Murphy
Mr Murphy came to Dominican
College in 1968 as a young Physics teacher. The school had been
a girls’ school until then but boys were admitted in 1968 and so
the school appointed its first male teacher. The school had less
than 300 pupils and many fewer buildings than it does now. As
well as teaching inside the classroom Mr Murphy helped with
football and other extra-curricular activities. He became the
first lay vice-principal of the College in 1977. In 1989 the
Trustees decided that Dominican College should appoint its first
Principal who was not a Dominican Sister and Mr Murphy was
appointed to that role which he held with distinction until his
retirement in 2001.
Dominican
College is proud to count Mr Murphy as a past principal and it
was a special day for Dominicans when he presented the
following Achievement awards:
MacAulay, O’Neill & Martin Cup - For outstanding achievement at GCSE level
