Talking Heads 2019 announced

The 8th installment of this ongoing performance project will be presented in the Oratory Space in the first week back in Term 4. Talking Heads is an ongoing challenge our Senior Drama students undertake to deepen their experience through one of the most demanding of theatrical forms, the monologue.

Uniform Review information

The Uniform Review process has been completed in Term 3 and families will be updated at the end of this term. There were 442 parents who responded to the survey providing us with a wealth of data and excellent perspectives. Our Year 3-10 students completed the survey and there were 683 respondents. From our staff, 60 people lodged a survey. This was a very good, broad response and highlights a desire and commitment by all in our College community to have a quality uniform that meets contemporary needs.

Clarence Eisteddfod success

Dominic Choirs have traditionally been very competitive at the Clarence Eisteddfod. The current results have seen our Concert Bands move up several notches with equally strong results reflecting the development of Music at the college.

Mental Health Week, from the Captains

Last week, Mental Health Week 2.0 took place with more workshops and activities and guest speakers from all over Australia. Last year’s inaugural Mental Health Week was a huge success but we wanted to build and make it even bigger and better.

Music & Dance Showcase 2019

Thursday 19 September is the date for our Music & Dance Showcase for 2019. The Showcase gives an opportunity for our larger scale Dance and Music works at the College to be presented in a suitable venue with full stage and an auditorium that can accommodate family and friends of our 200 plus performers.

Mental Health Week success

Our week is aimed at prevention of mental health conditions in our students. All research indicates that having strong social connections and personal relationships as well as being part of a community are essential to maintaining good mental health.

Trivia night is OFF

Year 10 students are disappointed to advise that Friday night’s Trivia Quiz event has been postponed due to insufficient prior bookings. Although support was growing, bookings did not meet the minimum advanced ticket sales necessary to meet the required deposits for catering and support.

RoboCup success

Over Term 2 and 3 students in Robotics Club have been preparing to compete in Robocup Junior competitions.

Veritas magazine for 2019

The old scholars magazine, Veritas, for 2019, was mailed out to families and old scholars early this term. If you did not receive a copy please email oldscholars@dominic.tas.edu.au with your postal address and we will check where your magazine was sent. If other family members would like to receive our magazines let us know.

Science Week Fair at Dominic College

Last Wednesday we celebrated Science Week by holding our second Science Fair. It was rewarding to see so many students engaged in their experiments and having a great time. One group of students who shone academically were the Year 9 and 10 students.
