Sports

Dominic College is a rich sporting community offering extensive sports amenities, elective subjects and many co-curricular opportunities. The College enters teams in a variety of rosters catering from Prep – Year 10. Teams can participate in SATIS, JSSATIS independent or non-school based club rosters. Participation is not compulsory at Dominic but is strongly recommended for the social and physical benefits associated with regular physical activity.It is our vision, that the College’s sporting program fosters lifelong participation in physical activity.

The majority of sports are played on weekdays after school at various school venues around the metropolitan area with the exception of a small number of weekend sports. Interschool and state carnivals are held during school hours with the exception of the 7-10 state athletics, and 3-6 and 7-10 representative basketball tournaments, which are held on weekends.

The College’s sporting facilities include a multi-purpose gymnasium, two outdoor netball/tennis courts, two soccer fields and an AFL/cricket oval.
