About our school
St Dominic’s Catholic Primary School was established in 1976 and is situated in the heart of Melton. St Dominic’s provides education to 358 students from 243. Our population is very diverse with many of our students born overseas.
At St. Dominic’s, we strive to achieve excellence in all aspects of school life. All members of our community come together to support the growth and learning of our students. We provide a caring and nurturing environment where the children can thrive, develop a passion for learning and strive to be the best person they can be. We are on an exciting journey where we learn together and celebrate each other’s achievements.
We believe that all children have the right to an excellent education, which enables them to become positive and active members of the school, wider Parish, local and global communities. We want the children to develop self-respect and respect of others and for the environment in which they work and live.
In the tradition of St. Dominic, we aim for each child to develop a sense of courage, truth and compassion in everything they do.
