History:
St Dominic鈥檚 Primary School, Broadmeadows, first opened in February 1959 when 200 children commenced their education under the care of two teachers. The Sisters of St Joseph originally donated the land on which the school and church are built and have had a great deal of influence in the school's development. Rapid population expansion in the 1960s forced St Dominic鈥檚 to grow to nearly 1000 students. St Dominic鈥檚 remained a large school catering for the many cultural groups who moved into the area. St Dominic鈥檚 is still a highly multicultural school but the school population has remained steady at around 220 children.
