Community Events

ANZAC services

One of our school expectations is ‘we are respectful.’ Over the holidays we commemorated ANZAC day as an opportunity for us to show our respect for those who fought under our flag.

Observation of Easter Rituals

This week, as a community, we have been focused on preparations for one of the most important seasons in the Christian calendar. Our Chapel has seen many visits by classes in spiritual readiness for Easter. Yesterday our K-6 students entered our annual Stations of the Cross. These were led by our Year 5 and 6 students in beautiful weather.

Student Rock Band

We started rehearsing together at the start of term. Mr Schmalfuss helps us all with choosing the music, getting our stuff together and focusing on putting our own original spin on the pieces.

ANZAC Day 2019

This year ANZAC Day falls during the upcoming Term 1 school holidays on Thursday 25 April. It has become a tradition at Dominic College that all students are asked to represent the College at ceremonies at Glenorchy, Hobart, Lenah Valley, Pontville or New Norfolk. This is a day of national ritual and commemoration of sacrifice undertaken for our nation. It is a day during which large number of students, looking wonderful in their formal uniforms, participate in ANZAC Day marches and ceremonies.

My beautiful balloon

WOW! What an amazing learning experience we had at the Year 5 Hot Air Balloon incursion on Monday 1 April.

Class of 2009 reunion

The Class of 2009 enjoyed a ten-years reunion on Saturday 30 March 2019. Over 30 old scholars from the Year 10 Class of 2009 met upstairs at Grantleigh in the Basil Fox Room, for nibbles and refreshments. Amidst the catching up and hugs, there was some chat about what the College was like ten years ago

Uniform Review Survey update

This week in our newsletter we published the survey data summary for students, parents and staff that has been developed by the Uniform Review and Re-Design Committee. It has been most encouraging that there has been much discussion about the type, style and option improvements with our uniform.

Relay For Life 2019, thank you

We have all felt huge pride in our students in Years 5-10 and our staff who formed the 2019 Dominic Relay for Life Team. They gathered for 20 hours overnight last Saturday to honour our donors’ $30,000 plus commitment to the outstanding work of the Cancer Council and walk hundreds of laps at the Domain for the cause.

Moonah Taste of the World and Harmony Day

Did you realise that the 2016 Census showed that 5,701 people who live in Glenorchy were born overseas and 9.4% of the residents speak a language other than English at home? With figures like these we can confidently say that we live and work in a multicultural place.
