Dominic College is a Catholic, Kindergarten to Year 10, co-educational, independent school set on 25 hectares of grass and bushlands. The Dominic Early Learning Centre provides a caring and dynamic environment for children 0-5 years. The College is owned and governed by the Salesians of Don Bosco. The College focuses on the education of the whole child within an innovative learning community where each student is known, valued and nurtured to become more than they are now. The learning and teaching relationship is based on a belief in the potential of every student to achieve success. Learning is considered a deep transformational activity of the heart. Pastoral Care is at the centre of daily life at Dominic. Staff and student relationships are based on our founder, St John Bosco's philosophy that 'the young must not only be loved, they must know that they are loved'. Establishing and sustaining strong friendships based on respect, kindness and loyalty is considered important. The Creative Arts are being developed to take a central place in engaging students in learning and making meaning in new ways. Drama, Dance, Music and the Visual Arts are growth areas in the College. The use of technology as an essential tool for C21st learners is central to Dominic's vision and direction. Students use interactive white boards and laptops in diverse ways. They are designing and making movies, engaging in robotics and using Skype in deep learning processes. An individual student laptop program was introduced in Year 5 in 2011 and continues with the laptop program extending into Year 6 and Year 7 for 2012. This will continue for Years 8 to 10 in following years. The College attracts a significant number of kinaesthetic learners who are Physical Education and sports enthusiasts. The Athletic Development and sports programs are dynamic. They focus on the full range of team sports. Our experienced sports staff are great role models in health and fitness and teach our students the value of teamwork in sports. Religious..
