St Dominic's School was first established in 1925. The school on its present site was opened in 1939 by Archbishop Mannix. Throughout the school's development the Dominican Sisters have played a leadership role, concluding their involvement in December 1996. The Dominican ethos remains an important focus in the life of the school being expressed visibly through our school motto VERITAS, our Vision Statement and the many activities (e.g. St Dominic's Day) that remind us of the Dominican tradition of love of learning, a search for truth, a development of each unique person to their full potential, an appreciation for culture and a striving for excellence. Therefore, community involvement in the school is very supportive and the school enjoys an atmosphere that expresses the concept of St Dominic's being a place for all. St Dominic's School has twelve classrooms, a multi-purpose room, a resource centre and an administration area. Student support programs include: ICT, library, Italian, performing arts, physical education and student wellbeing. In 2008 St Dominic's received accreditation in Restorative Practices in Catholic School Communities.
