School History and Tradition

  • We opened in 1999 and are named in honour of St. Dominic Savio, who was born in Riva, northern Italy, in 1842.

  • From a young age, St. Dominic Savio demonstrated:

    • A deep devotion to the Eucharist.

    • A strong commitment to his faith.

    • A desire to live a virtuous life.

  • At his First Communion at the age of seven, he adopted the motto “Death, but not sin!”, reflecting his dedication to following Christ.

  • We look to St. Dominic Savio as a model of youthful holiness, inspiring our students to embrace faith, purpose, and the joy of life.

  • His example encourages our school community to:

    • Strive for excellence.

    • Live with compassion.

    • Make the most of every opportunity.

    • Serve others with faith and purpose.
