Future Families

2019 Leaders function

Last Friday, our 2019 Leaders Induction Ceremony took place, where Year 9 students step up as the new 2019 leaders. Parents and carers of the excited leaders watched proudly in the Savio Centre, as each worthy leader was called to the stage to receive their badge and tie. It was through this process where the transfer of leadership occurred, and the new, motivated and determined leaders started getting ready for their 2019 roles.

2019 Leaders Induction

Congratulations to our 2019 Leaders who were inducted today. College student leadership was transferred between our current 2018 leaders and our future 2019 leaders today at a movin ceremony, where students volunteered to exercise their special role, and accepted the honour of college and House leadership.

Moves in the Salesian Community and the Parish

I take this opportunity to inform you that the Salesian Provincial, Fr Will Matthews SDB, has announced the changes for 2019 which affect the Salesian Community here at Dominic.

2019 K-6 Captains announced

Last week, Year 2-5 students and staff were involved in election processes regarding our 2019 Year 6 student leaders. We commend all Year 5 students who nominated for leadership roles and prepared excellent speeches about what it means to be a leader at Dominic College. We were extremely proud of every student who spoke so eloquently last week.

College Captains 2019

This week, students and staff were involved in election and discernment processes regarding our student leaders of the College for 2019. Year 9 students spoke to Year 7-9 students and staff at an extended assembly in the Savio Centre on Wednesday and outlined their thoughts on leadership, their time at the College and hopes for the College.

2019 Fees and Terms & Conditions

The College emailed all parents and guardians on 1 October 2018, including parents new to the College in 2019, to inform them of the fees that will apply next year, associated payment arrangements and changes to our General Terms and Conditions. If you did not receive this information, please contact the Business Office as a matter of urgency.

2019 and 2020 Japan trips dates change

Due to the Rugby World Cup being hosted by Japan in September 2019, and then the Summer Olympics being hosted by Tokyo in August/September 2020, Dominic College has decided to make some alterations to the way we usually schedule the Japan Study Tour in 2019 and 2020. With high costs due to peak travel, difficulty securing bookings, and increased risks to manage, we have decided to run a combined Year 9 and 10 Japan Study Tour in April 2019.

Innovative teaching and vocabulary development

Ensuring reading and writing success in the Early Years is our most important responsibility. One of the things that fascinates me most about being an Early Years educator is watching as our students acquire new skills, skills which enable them to read and write.

Veritas 2018

This year’s Veritas magazine, the magazine of the Dominic Old Scholars Association, has been mailed to families and to old scholars who are on our mail list. If you have not received your copy by 5 September, please email oldscholars@dominic.tas.edu.au and include your correct postal address. We will investigate and send you a new magazine if it has gone astray.

Parents & Friends news

We had a fantastic finish to Term 2 with our PJ Day and have been working hard over the last few weeks to prepare for a very busy Term 3. Thank you to all families, teachers and students who supported our PJ Day on the last day of Term 2 - all students and staff looked warm and comfy and the hot chocolates sold by Mini Vinnies were a winner in the miserable weather.
