Reviews of St Dominic's Girl’s Catholic College

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.

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, and students were left uninspired and underconfident. I learnt more from YouTube, Khan's Academy and Sparknotes than from many of my teachers. Your daughter/s will find integrating in further education opportunities and the workforce difficult because St Dominic's does not expose students to the very real life challenges of taking care of mental health & wellbeing, financial literacy, political literacy, healthy relationship with the opposite gender, and more. The careers department barely gave any guidance and only advertised "traditional" jobs i.e. doctor, lawyer, teacher, engineer or accountant. I didn't even know my current field of work existed untill I left high school. I've given this school a 3 star rating based on positive experiences with a handful of my teachers over the 7 years, but this does not make up for the fact the school is systemically failing to provide young women with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in today's workforce and world.
