Uniform Review & Redesign underway

This year we have commenced a major review and re-design of the College Uniform K-10. This week we had the first of five scheduled meetings of the College Uniform Review and Re-Design Committee together with Perm-A-Pleat, our current supplier and one of the country’s most prominent and experienced uniform designers.

Year 7 Bible Liturgy

On Friday 15 February, Year 7 students were presented with their bibles from Dominic College in a special Bible Liturgy.

Supporting young writers at home

Several times in the first two weeks of Kinder tuminana, I have been reminded of how much young children love to write — they’re always in search of a marker, paintbrush or crayon to ‘leave their mark’.

Holidays dates and planning ahead

It has been communicated a number of times that Dominic College cannot support nor approve the taking of holidays during term time. This is a legal mandate in the 2016 Education Act and has been put in place to ensure that sound academic progress can take place with students being present at school in all classes.

URStrong Workshops at Dominic College

We had a fabulous professional learning session for our K-6 teachers this week with a first class educator and expert in friendship development, Ms Dana Kerford. This session was followed in the evening by a wonderful parent and student workshop on friendship also facilitated by Dana.

Our Salesian Priests and Brothers

Welcome to our Salesian Priests and Brothers for 2019. We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful representation of the Salesian community in our College.

Ringing in Year 7 students

To start the day off, Year 7s gathered in the Savio Centre and we had a small Assembly, where we talked about ways of dealing with the first week of school as well as speaking of what Dominic was about.

Launch into Learning 2019

Dominic College’s Pre-Kindergarten program Launch into Learning is becoming part of the curriculum in 2019. There will be four Launch into Learning classes, two on Thursdays and two on Fridays in term time this year. One of Dominic College’s most experienced Kindergarten teachers, Mrs Linda Douglas, will be taking the Launch into Learning classes, as well as continuing to teach her Kindergarten class.

2019 College Calendar

The 2019 College Calendar has been printed and has been mailed to all families. The calendar is a handy reminder and guide to the majority of important events at Dominic in 2019. Keep it on your fridge or your utility area!

Ringing in Year 7s

The first day of Term 1 2019, Monday morning, 4 February, the College is starting a new tradition with the ‘Ringing In’ of our new Year 7 students as a symbol of their commencement of secondary education at Dominic College.
