Beyond the Classroom
Year 6 Drum Corp
As part of our rich tradition, our Dominican Year 6 students are involved in a school based Drum Corp - this is an integral part of our Year 6 Leadership Development Program. Students perform at Sports Day, Christmas Concerts, the Semaphore Street Fair and many other community events.
Music Tutoring
We engage with a range of experienced music tutors. There are opportunities for your child to to learn piano, guitar, drums and singing.
Music lessons, incorporating music theory and harmonies, are run during school time. These lessons are taught by private tutors for a reasonable cost. Payment for tuition fees are made by the parents.

School Camps
School camps are an integral part of the curriculum at Dominican School with students across Years 3 to 6 attending at least 2 camps during their time with us.
Camps provide children with an opportunity to experience learning away from the classroom in a fun and challenging environment to develop a range of skills including self discipline, independence and team work.
Past camps have included destinations such as Narnu Farm on Hindmarsh Island and Nunyara Retreat at Belair.
