Catholic Colleges for Women in New Zealand

St Dominic's College is a Year 7-13 Catholic College for young women, formed within the Domincan tradition. In educating our students we lead them to aim for personal excellence in all things, to develop a broad range of interests and talents, to develop strong leadership skills, to engage in critical reflection on the world and to be young women who will make a difference to their world, and that of the society in which they live.

We believe in providing an education for young women which emphasizes academic learning, and ensures that our students are equipped with learning skills and knowledge which will prepare them for the future. Our students enjoy a high rate of success in national examinations and, later, at tertiary institutions. As a College we are committed to creating a caring and supportive environment where each student can feel special, loved, be heard and respected. We encourage our students to live justly, with compassion and respect for others. Our College culture is built upon traditional values and expectations relating to academic excellence, uniform, discipline and participation in sport, cultural and spiritual activities. Opportunities are given for student leadership and we foster the spirit of service to each other and the wider community. Our restricted maximum roll number enables each student to feel welcome, understood and appreciated. We feel we are small enough to care but large enough to challenge. We are a friendly learning community based on Christian values, with a full range of courses offered right through to senior level. Our focus is to send out into the wider community young women with a well-founded education for the future, based on Gospel values and self-discipline. We are confident that a young woman will leave our College as a fully developed person of integrity with independent thought, based on initiative, truth and caring awareness.
