7-10 House Athletics Carnival

We watched our brilliant friend, Year 10 student, Samuel Walker compete at the Commonwealth games on Monday night. Then on Tuesday, 10 April, we had our 2018 Athletics Carnival! Everyone had extra motivation from watching one of our own doing so well on the world stage. Well done, Sam!

Year 5 Camp

After Easter, Year 5 went on their Far South Camp. The theme of the camp was “Let your Light Shine.” We explored how we could let our inner selves shine and used the time to get to know each other in a different environment.

Dominic Old Scholars Association (DOSA) Football 2018

Off the field the club has worked hard on its recruitment and has appointed father/son recruit Jake Briggs as senior coach. Jake is the son of the former DOSA hard-man Anthony Briggs who played 149 games for the Roosters in the 80-90s. Our assistant coaches this year are Caden Wilson, a Dominic old scholar who is a former William Leitch medallist and premiership player in both the TSL and SFL and Michael Fisher who returns to the club after a successful year in the TSL. Michael won both the OSFA and Roosters B&F in 2016.

ANZAC Day: Dominic College and the community

This year ANZAC Day falls during the upcoming Term 1 school holidays on Wednesday 25 April. It has become a tradition at Dominic College that all students are asked to represent the College at ceremonies at Glenorchy, Hobart, Lenah Valley, Pontville or New Norfolk. This is a day of national ritual and commemoration of sacrifice undertaken for our nation. It is a day during which large number of students, looking wonderful in their formal uniforms, participate in ANZAC Day marches and ceremonies

Dominic College App

Parents and guardians may have noticed recently a change in branding from one of our forms of communication. Early this year Parent Paperwork transitioned to become EdSmart. While all functionality of our existing tools in use by the College remain unchanged the name change enables EdSmart to broaden its offerings to schools to offer us exciting opportunities into the future.

Adventure Rec Extension Program

Over the Easter Break a keen group of Adventure Recreation students took the opportunity to take part in the Extension Program for the year. This Extension program was an opportunity for students to extend the surfing skills they have been developing throughout the term, immersing themselves in a new environment. The Surf Camp was held on Bruny Island, a surfing mecca that offered a variety of waves for our budding young surfers.

Holy Week 2018

This week across the College we have spent significant time in prayer and reflection in our Chapel and in our classrooms. I also commend all students for the manner in which they have energetically and selflessly committed to raising funds for Caritas’ Project Compassion. It has been a great effort by all students.

New SRC student leaders recognised

This week our Student Representative Council (SRC) members for 2018 were appointed and received their badges from our College Principal Ms Beth Gilligan.
