The weekend-long St Dominic’s 50th Jubilee celebrations were held during Anzac Weekend (Friday 22 April – Monday 25 April 1994). Around 200 people attended. On Monday the Golden Jubilee attendees visited the old St Dominic’s building in Feilding, where they were able to visit most of the school grounds. It was a sad time for many people as the building had not been well looked after and presented with some disrepair.
