Year 7 Information Evening
Dominic College has worked hard to ensure that the transition from Year 6 to Year 7 is as seamless as possible. At the Year 7 Information Evening prospective Year 7 students and their families learn more about the College by chatting to leadership staff and students, looking at interactive displays and learning about what to expect in Year 7. This event takes place on the evening of the Open Day on Tuesday 12 March, 2013. The presentation is from 6.00pm – 7.00pm in the Dance Studio and is for parents and students considering enroling in Year 7 at Dominic in 2014.

At the Year 7 House Orientation Evening, students enrolled at Dominic for Year 7 the following year meet the other members of their pastoral group, their pastoral teacher and their House Coordinator. This is a good chance for students and their families to become accustomed with the spaces and processes of their new school and forge some early friendships.
