At Dominic College, our faith, values, and sense of community are at the heart of everything we do. Our College Prayer and College Song express the spirit that guides us, our commitment to truth, justice, compassion, and hope. They honour the positive example of Jesus Christ and our patron saints, helping us to strive to embody their virtues in our daily interactions with people in our community and world.
College Prayer
Heavenly Father,
We give thanks to you for blessing us as members of this community.
May it be a place where we love to learn and learn to love.
Guide us on our journey to live by the truth.
We strive to be like St Dominic Guzman and St Catherine of Siena, courageous and strong.
We endeavour to be like St Dominic Savio and St John Bosco, joyful and caring.
May you comfort us in our times of worry.
Give us faith and fill us with hope.
Help us to be honest, respectful, responsible learners.
May we follow in the footsteps of your son Jesus Christ.
Amen.

College Song
[Refrain]
To live by truth and justice,
Caring for our world,
To live our lives with dignity,
Fashioned by God’s Word.
Dominic Guzman, Preacher of the Word.
Dominic Savio, example for the young.
May our lives reflect the graces you have shown,
Patrons of our College, we make your name our own.
[Refrain]
The symbols of our College: strength within the shield.
The torch is the light of truth, it guides us to our star.
Together we share our hopes and our fears.
Encouraged by faith, our dreams become our future years.
[Refrain]
Composed by Mrs Helen Harvey (née Beha)
