News
Dominic College is a vibrant community of students, staff, families, Old Scholars and volunteers. We produce a fortnightly Newsletter during term, featuring a variety of reports and stories from staff and student leaders in areas of administration, learning and curriculum, wellbeing, community and mission.
You'll find a selection of stories here, too, plus additional new items in between Newsletters. Your contribution and news is always welcome - please email publications@dominic.tas.edu.au
Traffic Management at Dominic College
If it was possible to start from the beginning and totally redesign the current roadways and paths infrastructure at Dominic College it would look considerably different to the current arrangements. Traffic would be kept to the perimeter of the College to ensure the current mixing of cars, buses and most importantly student and parent pedestrians was minimised. However the current infrastructure has been gradually pieced together over the decades with a focus of ensuring adequate vehicle access to the site as opposed to the safe and efficient drop off of car and bus transported students.
