Mission Statement

St. Dominic Savio Catholic School is a Christian Community in which everyone expects to be treated with courtesy and respect at all times. Our aim is to help everyone accept ownership for their academic, personal and spiritual development.

About the School 

The St. Dominic Savio Catholic School community is committed to nurturing the spiritual, intellectual, moral, social, emotional, and physical growth of every student. Guided by our Catholic faith, we strive to provide a caring and God-centred environment where each individual is valued, respected, and supported.

As a community of faith, students, families, staff, and parish partners work together to foster the development of the whole person. We believe that a positive, creative, and engaging learning environment helps students grow as responsible individuals rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Building strong relationships and promoting mutual respect are central to our school community. Our Code of Behaviour supports student growth by encouraging self-confidence, self-discipline, responsibility, and respect for others. Together, we share responsibility for creating a safe and welcoming environment where all students can learn, develop, and reach their full potential.

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.

School History and Tradition

St. Dominic Savio Catholic School opened in 1999 and is named in honour of St. Dominic Savio, who was born in Riva, northern Italy, in 1842. From a young age, Dominic demonstrated a deep devotion to the Eucharist, a strong commitment to his faith, and a desire to live a virtuous life. At his First Communion at age seven, he adopted the motto, "Death, but not sin!", which reflected his dedication to following Christ.

St. Dominic Savio is remembered as a model of youthful holiness, inspiring students to embrace faith, purpose, and the joy of life. His example reminds our school community to strive for excellence, live with compassion, and make the most of every opportunity to serve others.
