Clubs & Activities

St Dominic’s girls are given the chance to join a range of clubs before, during or after school. These clubs provide opportunities to learn new skills that students will use and continue to develop throughout their whole lives. They provide a starting point to shaping their voice and perspective on important social issues. These activities provide our students with the opportunity to work in teams across year levels, strengthening the spirit of community that runs through St Dominic’s.
