St Dominic's Girl’s Catholic College

I am a former student of this school, and attended this school from Year 7 - Year 13. If you are a parent who is considering on sending your daughter/s to this school, I would suggest to look towards a different school. To begin, I would like to share the positive aspects and take out the time to provide my gratitude to the English department of this school, Ms. Shearer and Ms. Collins are phenominal teachers who not only taught English but also general life skills. Teachers, Mr. Drysdale, Ms. Claire, Mr Jellyman, Mrs Carla and Ms. Hill also shared a wealth of knowledge and truly upskilled their students in their respective areas. Unfortunately, most teachers decided to shrug off their responsibilities and expected students to simply memorise textbook content and made no effort to teach concepts, skills and values in a practical and applicable manner. Most teachers had no knowledge of different learning styles, or made the effort to incorporate new methods of teaching. If you would like to develop your daughter/s overall skillsets, professional and personal development - St Dominic's is not a fit school. St Dominic's rarely used and upskilled students on technology, never used real world examples to link subjects in school with the real world, and certainly did not prepare anyone for university or the workforce. The religious elements of the school prevented female empowerment and improvement in female capabilities. The school culture was more obsessed with student's appearances i.e. are the girls looking prime and proper rather than making any active investments in technology or innovation. Females were taught traditional" concepts determined their worth and value

St Dominics isn't a good school the teacher isn't good at teaching sometimes, some teachers just expect you to know what there teaching in a day. the school is just to harsh on us students, they don't mark tests fairly and by one little mistake you don't get the mark that you were meant to get.we can't have piercings and get in big trouble saying its in the law that you can't have that on your body" even tho its our body not theirs. St Dominics needs to be more reasonable with the students not making them feel down or have the right to speak.some of the teachers are unfair towards people that are of colour and have more than 1 ethnicity.I do not recommend coming here before you come here look at the reviews. and don't ever come."

i would not recommend this shcool!girls like shania jasmine and andrea

Do not recommend!!! The teachers here are known to be very problematic and racist with bad teaching skills and most students here have either been bullied or bully other students.I know multiple people that have complained to the teachers (including the principal) about certain problematic teachers and bullying happening here and they've done NOTHING AT ALL. The rules here are incredibly crazy and controlling the teachers don't care about YOU they care about you're appearance and how you represent the school" trying to make you seem "formal" and less "messy" or "unappealing" and they do this by not allowing makeup

the s block toilets are a biohazard

Personally for me, St Dominic’s wasn’t the right school. The teachers are quite rude and can also be racist at times. They don’t care about your well-being and only give you loads of work and homework each day. The students are really rude to you and they are very racist aswell. I hated this school so much and feared getting up in the morning each day to attend this school. I only stayed here for a year however, this school still haunts me to this day. I don’t recommend this school at all. If you are considering putting your daughter in this school, please look for more alternative options. I hope my review has helped you.

As a former student of St Doms, I hate to give it a 2 star rating. The school is facing construction so there is a large area being restricted, the hallways are always cramped, the stairs feel claustrophobic, I had a very hard time getting to class because of waiting for several minutes just to get through a door.Another issue I have with this school is how strict they are, you are not allowed to have your hair down, any jewelry or make up, eyelashes, you are not even allowed to wear different colored hair ties aside from black and green. They are also strict with time, they give detentions to students who are late" who have absolutely no control over their bus or train being late

Catholic Girls collage. Great School, girls learn with a wide range for a smallish school. Years 7 to 13.

I was an exchange student for 2-3 months. It was great, don't get me wrong. The reason I give it 3 stars is because of the social experience I saw girls go through. Lots of bullying, to teachers and students. There is a social preassure that can be easily seen. Some of my friends had to change school because of how tired they were of it. I would recommend it if you go for temporal time. Try to be as social as possible. Teachers are great, some are not.

Very confused about people giving this school a five star review. If I was able to give it a rating below one star I would, if you are considering sending your daughter to St. Dominics, I beg you to look at other options. The rules are over the top, it is an overall bad experience. If I could go back in time and choose to attend a different school I would. Teachers do not care about you, other students don't care about you, your wellbeing will be overlooked. There is no positive aspect of St. Doms. The staff are overly strict, making school even more miserable as it is. Everyday I wake up and dread going to the hell St. Dominics puts me through. A lot of times I don't even go, because I just can't deal with the torment of being there. I know I am not the only one feeling this way. Most of my personal problems and issues stem from attending this school. I seriously considered dropping out at one point. You are not allowed to be yourself at this school. You can't have your hair down, you can't have more than one piercing (the one on your earlobes), you can't wear any kind of jewellery, you can't dye your hair, you have to wear black ankle socks, you can't wear anoraks inside, and you aren't even allowed to wear makeup as simple as mascara. All because you look messy" and "improper" to the teachers and staff. There are probably more stupid rules I can't remember right now. Another thing
