Recently, students from Years 7-13 were presented with Principal’s Awards for their outstanding effort and achievement in specific subjects and learning areas, and in a range of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. Well done to all award recipients.

Recently we celebrated International Languages week with a range of activities and food stalls taking place throughout the week. On Friday, staff and students were invited to come to school in cultural dress. It certainly was an awesome display and celebration of our cultural diversity at St Dominic’s. Thank you to all the staff and students who organised and led events throughout the week. 

For those in our community who were able to make it to one of the four shows of our production of Annie Jr last term, I know you will have been blown away by the energy, the talent and the joy that was so evident on the stage. All participating students displayed incredible passion and we are so proud of all actors, dancers, musicians, stage hands and artists.
A special thanks goes to Mrs Lambert (Director/Producer) and Miss Kim (Musical Director), for their ongoing commitment in ensuring the success of the show. Thank you also to the many staff and volunteers who gave of their time to support the production through costume design and creation, stage management, choreography, weekend rehearsal supervision, front of house and set construction. An amazing team, without who, none of it would have been possible. Check out our College Facebook page for all photos from the production.
