Dominic College Medical students

Old scholars and current medical students, Aleisha Herington (2013) and Eliza Nolan (2009) talked with a group of Year 10 students who are interested in studying medicine in a few years. Eight keen Year 10 students were given an insight into how to maximise their chances of achieving their goals, in an hour's one-to-one with Eliza and Aleisha - what subjects to select in years 11 & 12, how to develop solid study skills and how to go about preparing for the Undergraduate Medical and Health Professionals Admissions Test (UMAT) which they w

7-10 assembly: looking back, and forward!

​The Year 7-10 assembly was held today (31 August) but in period 7, rather than the usual period 5, to allow Andrew Palmer's Dance Baby Dance program to continue in the Savio Centre for the Early Years students. There were some interesting reviews, including a sample question replay of the Maths Relay, where our students explained the answers to some rather challenging maths questions.

Canteen changes

Building works for the new uniform shop are planned to start on Monday 12 September 2016. The College has been working very hard to ensure these works can start as soon as possible as the start date of the Creative Arts Redevelopment is dependent on the completion of this project.

Students enjoy new Rua Hub

It has taken a while but this week we opened up the Rua Hub, a social and recreational space for students to chill out, be with friends, have their lunch, or enjoy a game of table tennis.

Dominic College’s biennial Creative Arts festival is two weeks away, and when it came time to choose a student’s art to feature in the publicity for the Festival, the Creative Arts teachers agreed: the artwork of Year 10 student, Kate Lovell, was the first choice! You might have noticed her work adorning our website, or in posters and invitations. Lovely!
