аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Íø is an independent school for young women in the Dominican Tradition. We are energised and inspired by each other, finding joy in our work, our learning and our community. Students and staff are encouraged and supported to aim high, to pursue their dreams and to excel in all that they do.
At аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Íø, the diversity and unique gifts of the young people in our care are acknowledged and celebrated. 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
аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Íø offers several General Excellence Scholarships to students who demonstrate general excellence across their studies, involvement in community life and cocurricular activities, leadership and character. As a Catholic, Dominican school, аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Íø 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 аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Íø students engage in the study of theology, Scripture, philosophy and associated disciplines that empower them to take their place in the world.
All students applying for a General Excellence Scholarship must sit the scholarship test, which is run by EduTest.
