Dominic College has a supportive structure in place to assist in ensuring each student feels welcome and accepted in our community. This structure is the College's House system and vertically streamed Oratory Groups. The House system provides a unique opportunity for students across all year levels to come together, fostering camaraderie, friendly competition, and a sense of belonging.
The House System
The House system operates from Kindergarten to Year 10. All students and staff are assigned to a particular House and family links are observed to foster tradition and continuity.
In Kindergarten–Year 6 the students are grouped according to Year level, with each student being assigned a different house. The class teacher is the member of staff who takes primary responsibility for the welfare, achievement and behaviour management of each student in their class and is the first point of contact between a parent and the College.
The Year 7-10 Oratory Groups are grouped on a vertically streamed House basis. This means that there are students from Year 7 to Year 10 in each Oratory Group, allowing for the development of friendships across year levels and a sense of belonging and support.
The Oratory Group Teacher takes primary responsibility for the welfare, achievement and behaviour management of each student in their Oratory Group and is the first point of contact between a parent and the College. Each House is led by a House Lead Teacher who manages the staff and students within the House.
Each of the four Houses at the College are named after our Salesian and Dominican saints.
