Education QLDÂ introduces Cabra Dominican College in Cumberland Park, for all your education and learning needs.
Founded in 1886 by Dominican Sisters from Cabra in Ireland, Cabra Dominican College, as a Christian community in the Catholic tradition, strives to nurture and develop the unique gifts of individuals, to liberate them in the search for truth and to empower them to create a better world. The integration of Christian values, scholarly endeavour and cooperative involvement underpin all learning experiences at Cabra. The College motto is VERITAS which is the Latin word for truth. It is a motto shared by Dominican communities and institutions throughout the world. At Cabra Veritas describes our quest to understand who God calls each of us to be and to look at the world through the eyes of a loving creator.
This focus on each individual means that we need to provide a broad range of educational, pastoral and co-curricular programs if we are to have any chance of making the Cabra Vision a reality in the lives of our students. Therefore, it is easy to recognise excellence in many different areas of the College. Cabra Dominican College also hosts a specialist educational facility, the St Mary’s Unit, which caters specifi cally for the learning needs of approximately twenty students with a diagnosed intellectual disability. With highly individualised programmes for its students, the St Mary’s Unit has continually set the standard for excellence in this important and specialised fi eld of education.
