ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ

Students and staff are encouraged and supported to aim high, to pursue their dreams and to excel in all that they do. We encourage our students to follow their academic and cultural interests, believe in their potential and become passionate lifelong learners. ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ College is a place where the diversity and unique gifts of the young people in our care are acknowledged and celebrated, and where we aim to empower them to go out and make a difference in the world. Students are encouraged to engage in critical reflection on the world, develop a love of learning, an appreciation of culture and beauty and a spirit of freedom and responsibility.

General Excellence Scholarships

ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ College offers several General Excellence Scholarships (of 25% to 50% of tuition fees) to students who demonstrate general excellence across their studies, involvement in community life and cocurricular activities, leadership and character. As a Catholic, Dominican school, ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ College is committed to educating the whole person, promoting a lifelong love of learning in a setting that allows students to flourish into empowered global citizens.

As a Dominican College we value study. Study enables us to search out and discern the truth of our times. Dominicans have been thinkers and leaders across many disciplines throughout the ages. That emphasis on study continues today as ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ students engage in the study of theology, Scripture, philosophy and associated disciplines that empower them to take their place in the world.
