History

The school offers a new Hospitality/Tourism wing (2007) that supports the school's growing Specialist High Skills Major Program.

Specialist High Skills Major Program

  • Construction - This Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is offered to students in Grades 11 & 12. Students who choose this pathway select 9 of their 16 courses that relate to Construction in their final 2 years of secondary school. During this time students receive industry specific certification and coop related work placements. Students also work on off-site projects as a class to help erect projects in the community like sheds, gazebos, greenhouses and community gardens.
  • Hospitality
  • Non-Profit - This SHSM pathway enables students to build a foundation of "sector-focused" knowledge and skills before graduating. The program seeks to develop skills in the areas of "cooperation, ethical values, consciousness, and citizenship" along with problem-solving and team building approaches to real world needs. Students will study both local and international issues while seeking to promote action within the community and abroad.

    • Teams and Clubs

    St. Dominic offers a full complement of athletic team sports as well as several school clubs.

    Teams include volleyball, basketball, soccer, badminton, and cross-country along with several other major team sports. Team coaches are committed to building teams that understand the fundamentals of working together to succeed and enjoying sports as an integral part of education.

    Clubs include Yearbook, Coding Club, Robotics Club, among various others which are highly regarded among particular groups of students.
