School climate is evident in the feelings and attitudes about a School expressed by students, teachers, staff and parents—the way students and staff “feel” about being at school each day.

It is important that the 'whole' community wants to move a school. To stay with what we have always had and do things the way we always have is counterproductive to what a school is primarily is about. That is learning and by learning one takes risks and try new ideas and 'thinking'.

St Dominic’s Catholic Primary School looks for new ways of doing things, if it's going to improve student learning and allow children to 'have a go'.

Making mistakes for us is OK as it allows us to reflect and improve. Having a supportive community behind the school is vital and allows the whole school community to move in one direction.

St Dominic's is on a learning journey which is very exciting. Reflecting on teacher practice and student achievement is part of our learning journey.
