St Dominic's Day 2019

Happy St Dominic's Day to all our Dominican community. We celebrated with a fantastic mass followed by amazing student performances based around this year's theme "Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire". A great day! 








Brain Bee Challenge 2019

During the last week of term, 7 of our Y11 students were invited to compete in North Island Finals for the Brain Bee Challenge 2019. Brain Bee Challenge is a competition where students learn about the brain and neuroscience, and answer questions. At St Dominic’s Catholic College, this is done as part of Gifted and Talented Education.

The students had a great experience competing with other students from around North Island and also touring around the Medical School of Auckland University. Their favourite was when they visited the Medical School Learning Centre where hundreds of samples of human tissues and organs were displayed for learning purposes.
Special congrats to Maike Boquiren whose name was drawn out to win the Golden Ticket to spend a whole day at the Brain Research Centre later this year.

 

 


 
 

Rich Tradition of Learning and Achievement
Our students enjoy a high rate of success in national examinations and, later, at tertiary institutions. 
St Dominic’s offers a rich curriculum which ensures that there is opportunity for students to develop their academic, spiritual, cultural and physical potential.

We believe (and research confirms) that girls can more easily reach their full potential in a single sex school. A Gifted and Talented programme is offered for those girls identified as likely to benefit from additional extension and challenge.

Students Receive Individualised Assistance in Their Studies
All our students have their own academic coach from Year 7 through to Year 13 to advise on goal setting, review progress and to assist in determining the next steps required to continue the student’s academic achievement.

Learning support is available for any students needing a helping hand to build the capacities needed to achieve in the future.

Confidence Building Leadership Opportunities
At St Dominic’s we recognise the value of developing each student’s confidence to be a part of a team and to play their part as a leader.

Many leadership opportunities exist with each form class having a class captain, environmental captain, arts captain and sports captain while roles are also available as Peer Mediators, Ambassadors, Body Image Leaders and Eucharistic Ministers to name but a few.
