The VeritasMosaic I took this photo because our school crest includes many symbolic images and is an important

part of our heritage. The Veritas mosaic is located in the Piazza of the senior school. The term 'Veritas' means truth. Santa Sabina College is a Dominican school and models their beliefs and faith on St Dominic, a truthful person. There are four Dominican pillars: learning, service, community and prayer. As a school, Santa Sabina uses these pillars as a foundation of spiritual growth. The dog with the torch in its mouth represents the dream Dominic's mother had before he was born. The torch represents St Dominic being the leading light of truth (Veritas). The black dog represents dogs in the wild, which are often great leaders like St Dominic.

The MiddleSchoolKite I took this photo because I thought that the kite must have a history behind it; I thought it might be more than a pretty decoration. The Middle School Kite was created in 2002 by a group of students and staff. Each person was given a small piece of the kite to decorate and put together. The kite we see in middle school represents what we call our homerooms; KITE groups (Kids In Trusting Environments).

BobThe Kangaroo I took this photo because I knew that this statue was very old and must have been involved in the architectural heritage of the school. This statue of a kangaroo was once situated on the top of one of the old buildings with an emu (The Australian Crest), many years ago. It was taken down and the emu went missing. The Kangaroo was placed on the grass near the Grotto. It is now used as a meeting place for the students and has been nick- named 'Bob' by one of the girls.
