2006 Reunion

The Class of 2006 had their first, ten years, reunion on Saturday 8 October - with a meet and tour of the College in the afternoon, and a reunion in the evening at Hotel Soho. The afternoon tour was very interesting for the 13 ex-students. Meeting upstairs in Grantleigh, they enjoyed some photo albums and Yearbooks (and a few champagnes), and a catch-up. Then the circuit of new and old - plenty of new buildings and facilities in just the last 10 years, including the super-impressive Savio Centre with LOTE, gym and kitchens, and the Oratory Space (dance studio) and Br Peter Dezani Training Centre, which together took over their old Savio Centre gym building where they had their graduation ceremony and concerts.

EMPOWER presents Embrace

The Dominic College Empower Program would love to invite our girls, mothers, grandmothers, aunts and female friends to a very special viewing of Taryn Brumfitt’s documentary – Embrace. When body image activist Taryn Brumfitt posted an unconventional before-and-after photograph in 2013, it was seen by more than 100 million worldwide and sparked an international media frenzy. In her forceful debut, Brumfitt continues her crusade exploring the global issue of body loathing.

Parents & Friends News

It has been a very busy month for the P&F with lots of events happening and even more coming up next term.

The stall was well supported by all students especially the high school which was fantastic. We also held a BBQ to support the parents and players who participated in the Denison vs Franklin Footy & Netball day. Big thanks goes to Sharon Cleland, Sharyn Majchrzak and fa

Grandparents Day 2016

What a wonderful day we had for our Grandparents Day on Wednesday 14 Spetember! Our students were delighted and overwhelmed by having their Grandparents join them in the classrooms. In particular it was delightful to see Lucy in Year 1A; she was speechless when her Grandparents arrived from Launceston when she wasn’t expecting them to be able to attend.

Franklin v Denison Football and Netball

On Wednesday Dominic College hosted the annual 5/6 Catholic Denison v Franklin Football and Netball representative matches at the College.

As the weather set in the game became even tougher. Congratulations to Liam
