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
