The core mission of St David’s College is to serve the community. Each year, St David’s has students from around 50 different nationalities. This diverse and rich community adds value to everyone, as we learn about our different cultures and backgrounds, proving that we are all different, and we are all together.
Culture Day
On a day that has remained a highlight of the year, we celebrated our diverse and rich heritages on Culture Day 2023.
World Refugee Week
In June 2024, St David’s Catholic College marked Refugee Week with a series of events showcasing our dedication to becoming a College of Sanctuary.
Ahead of the UN’s World Refugee Day, Pope Francis said, “we are all called to welcome, promote, accompany, and integrate those who knock on our doors.” This message resonated deeply within our college community, inspiring us to embody these values and heed the Pope’s call to action.
