Welcome

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our St. Dominic’s Primary School website. It is an honour and my privilege to lead this wonderful community and work alongside our staff and families to educate the children of St. Dom’s. As a parent of two and an educator of over 30 years, I am invested in and dedicated to supporting students and their families, as well as providing an enriching primary school experience for every child. Our parents are the primary educators of their children and at St. Dominic’s, we acknowledge and truly value the partnership between school and home.  As the trusted and most significant adults in their lives, it is our shared responsibility to support and nurture our children to know that they are guided and supported in their learning, wellbeing and faith.  It is the responsibility of parents and staff to prioritise our children, enable them to thrive and teach them to be well-informed, lifelong learners and active and compassionate citizens now and in the future.

Our motto, ‘Veritas’, connects us to the 800 year Dominican tradition and to Dominican communities across Australia and the world. ‘Truth’ is grounded in prayer and contemplation, commitment to study, relationships, community, and justice, inspired by Gospel values. In the tradition of our Dominican Charism and in the context of our ever changing world, we work together to empower our students in Faith & Prayer, in their Learning, as active citizens in the Community, and as people of Service to others, making a difference in the world.

​

St. Dominic's Primary School is a community where everyone is known, heard and valued and Wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. Our Staff are experts in acknowledging and working with students to ensure their potential is reached, as full flourishing learners and active citizens of our world. As educators, we are committed to implementing and putting into practice expert teaching across all classrooms, to educate 100% of our students 100% of the time ensuring quality learning and teaching programs reflect a comprehensive knowledge of the curriculum.

Our students are at the centre of our work, our decisions, our community and at the heart of all that we do. At St. Dominic’s, every child's needs, efforts and achievements are acknowledged & celebrated and we value the unique qualities of each and every child, knowing that we are all created in God’s image and have immeasurable worth and sacred dignity. Our holistic approach to promoting wellbeing gives our students the opportunity to develop resilience, confidence, compassion and respect for all. As Principal of this wonderfully diverse & rich learning community, this gives me great pride. St. Dominic's community sits on the threshold of our school's centenary, which we will celebrate in 2025!!!!
