Dominic College is a vibrant community of students, staff, families, Old Scholars and volunteers. We produce a fortnightly Newsletter during term, featuring a variety of reports and stories from staff and student leaders in areas of administration, learning and curriculum, wellbeing, community and mission.
You'll find a selection of stories here, too, plus additional new items in between Newsletters. Your contribution and news is always welcome - please email publications@dominic.tas.edu.au

Our three Kinder Classrooms have been named after three native animals for 2019. We have been authorised to use the actual palawa kani names. palawa kani is the language of the Tasmanian Aborigines. We believe this will signify the growth and acceptance of palawa kani in Tasmania, affirm the role language plays in sustaining culture, and celebrate one of the world's oldest cultures.

The cycle of life is a mystery and brings us both joy and sorrow. We have been so blessed to have a family of magnificent animals who respond so well to our students and families and often to crowds of members of the public. The Dominic College community will be very sad to hear that our beautiful Anglo-Nubian goat, Tempest, died suddenly this summer. She and our other animals were enjoying the grazing period of school vacation when she was bitten by a Tiger snake on the Glenlusk property of our Director of Science K-10 Ms Jane Myers.
