Set on hill on twenty-nine acres of parkland, St Dominic’s Priory School has much to offer. Located in Miramar, Gqeberha, with a magnificent view across the city, this is one of the region’s top schools. Founded in 1900, St Dominic’s Priory School is an esteemed independent, co-educational school catering for pupils from Pre-Grade R to Grade 12.
As a Catholic school, St Dominic’s Priory School upholds and promotes the Catholic faith in the Dominican tradition, fostering an environment of respect, compassion and moral integrity. It prides itself on offering a holistic, comprehensive education, integrating academic excellence with character formation, and nurturing the intellectual, spiritual, physical and emotional development of each pupil. With a strong emphasis on critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills, pupils are encouraged to explore their talents and to participate in extra-curricular activities, to develop confidence and leadership skills.
A wide range of activities including cultural groups, clubs and societies complement the academic curriculum promoting teamwork, leadership and personal growth. The school abounds in top-tier facilities for sport, with marvelous grounds for cricket, hockey, swimming and tennis. A new astroturf hockey field is expected to be completed in April 2025.
The school also places great emphasis on the cultural growth of its pupils, championing music, the performing arts and several cultural electives in its “Liberal Education” programme, nurturing both intellectual and creative pursuits.
St Dominic’s boasts modern, well-equipped facilities in spacious classrooms along with cutting-edge science and computer laboratories. From Grade R onwards, pupils are introduced to coding and robotics developing a solid foundation in computerised thinking, problem-solving and logical reasoning. A stand-out feature of the school will be the new state-of-the-art Ryan Centre, a dedicated faith, science and arts facility. The lower ground floor houses a 546 square metre multi-purpose hall, four tutor rooms, a classroom, storerooms, bathrooms and a tuckshop that will be able to cater for events inside the facility, too. The upper level features two computer labs and an additional classroom.
At St Dominic’s Priory School, the Grade 12 pupils sit for the Independent Examination Board (IEB) examinations. The school is proud to announce that the Matric Class of 2024 achieved a 100% pass rate. Of course, it remains proud of the good effort of all its pupils, whether or not they meet this excellent standard.
Guided by the Church’s teaching, the school is family-focused with the mission to promote Jesus Christ and His words of love: “to love the Lord… with all heart, soul and strength”, “to love your neighbour as you love yourself”, “to do to others as you would have them do to you” and heeding Jesus’ command to worship well “in memory of Me”. With small class sizes, dedicated teachers and assistants, and a safe, secure and happy
environment, pupils thrive at St Dominic’s Priory School, being made ready for the demands of the real world outside of school.
