our dream We dare to dream of an exciting learning community in which each person is valued, nurtured and challenged to achieve incredible goals. our vision Dominic College will be a community that welcomes; that nourishes our Christian values; that prepares for life; and a place where friendships are forged within a spirit of joy and hope. our mission Dominic College aims to prepare individuals to embrace the challenges of life and understand that relationships are based on openness and acceptance of others. The example of Jesus Christ and the life of Don Bosco are our foundation.
