St Dominic’s College is committed to working with and walking alongside Indigenous people, advocating justice and promoting reconciliation
St Dominic’s College positively promotes and encourages the enrolment of students that identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders.
The College is committed to support students on a daily basis and as such, employs a full-time Indigenous Education Officer.
Mr Jeramiah Trindall, our St Dominic’s College Indigenous Education Officer’s role at St Dominic’s focusses on strengthening cultural connections, providing support to students, working alongside staff, families, and the wider community to foster a culturally safe and inclusive environment.
Mr Trindall also works closely with students on literacy programs, as well as before and after school study groups, to provide extra learning support and help strengthen their academic skills.
In addition to cultural support, Mr Trindall is committed to assisting our students in exploring and planning their pathways after school, whether that be further study, training, or entering the workforce. A main aim is to connect students with opportunities, resources and mentors who can help guide them towards achieving their future goals.
Students are supported in connecting with their culture and extending their knowledge. We also encourage our students to participate in our dance group who not only perform at our own events but have the opportunity to perform at public venues and occasions.
With the support of the Elders in our Local Aboriginal Community, the College as a whole celebrates important events to commemorate and reconcile the histories of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. At St Dominic’s all students are given the opportunity to experience and learn about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditions and culture. These events are occasions for our boys deepen their understanding about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of they can contribute to achieving reconciliation.
RED DIRT IMMERSION PROGRAM
St Dominic’s College invites local businesses, clubs, and community organisations to partner with us in supporting our Red Dirt Immersion Program – a transformative cultural education experience for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
The Red Dirt Immersion Program takes students on-Country to engage with Aboriginal communities through hands-on learning, storytelling, and cultural exchange.
