Mission

Taco Tuesday

On Tuesday 19 March, the College Captains ran a new fundraiser called “Taco Tuesday,” for 7-10 students. This was a perfect event to raise money for our current mission focus Project Compassion. Project Compassion is run by Caritas and is aimed at helping those who are less privileged, to have brighter futures. As a Salesian school we fundraise for Project Compassion in Term 1 every year.

International Women's Day breakfast success

On Wednesday 7 March we held our International Women’s Day Breakfast for Year 5-10 girls, their mothers, carers, aunties, grandmothers and older sisters. Old scholars and friends of the College also attended in significant numbers with some 240 people gathered in the Savio Centre on Wednesday morning for a shared breakfast, to celebrate the achievements of girls and women and to raise funds for girls in Samoa to be able access their right to a quality education.

Cambodia 2019: World Challenge meeting.

Following a successful 2017 World Challenge Cambodia Immersion, Dominic College is proud to announce we will be sending another team to Cambodia at the end of November 2019. This trip is open to current Year 8 and Year 9 students who are interested in a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Visit from Salesian Provincial

We had a quick hello this week from our Salesian Provincial Fr Will Matthews SDB down from Melbourne. It was fantastic to have Fr Will visit the College briefly. A teacher himself, Fr Will was impressed by our student focus and the way they spoke about their learning.

Just Leadership Day

On Monday, a selection of Year 8 and 9 students attended the Caritas Leadership Day at MacKillop College. Year 9 student, Annalize Moase, wrote: The day consisted of various interactive activities to make new friends while discussing social justice issues and leadership.

Working with children registration for volunteers

Dominic College is very grateful to those who generously support the College by volunteering their time with the many activities and programs within the Dominic College community. As many of you are aware, local and federal legislation requires all parents and volunteers currently working or wanting to work in a voluntary capacity in child education services such as Dominic College, hold a current Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) Card, also known as the Working with Children Card (WWCC).

Lent and Ash Wednesday

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, which we celebrated alongside our Opening College Mass. Thank you to Fr Bernie, Fr Nick and Br Abilio a Salesian Deacon visiting our College, who helped us celebrate these two significant events. Also thank you to the many staff and students who played a significant role in Mass.

Welcome Br Por

Br Por, a Thai Salesian brother, is in theological training in Melbourne and has come to Dominic to have an experience of pastoral ministry immersion. He attended the first K-6 assembly this week and has been very busy visiting classes from Kindergarten to Year 10.

Welcome from the Principal

Welcome to the 2018 academic year. I hope all in our community enjoyed opportunities for rest and renewal during the summer. I also hope all students are returning excited about the opportunities and the challenges of the year ahead.
