   Welcome to this new Dominican College Website.                                   

 

In our Website we present the origins of Fortwilliam in 1930, our aims and the range of curricular and extra curricular activities open to our pupils.  We hope this Website will provide you with interesting information about Fortwilliam. It will attract you to its exceptional facilities and introduce you to our approach to education. Dominican College is currently one of the newest Belfast Grammar Schools, in fact probably the newest.  The origins of our school stretch back to the year 1930.  Our tradition however has been handed on to us from St Dominic in the 12th century, St Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century and more recently through the vision and dedication of our predecessors in education.

We remember them with pride and gratitude.  It was their response to the needs of their times that created the tradition which continues to inspire us today.  The single word VERITAS (truth) epitomises the aim of all Dominican Colleges and Schools.  It is the pursuit of Truth in all its forms.

We hope as you browse this Website it will give you an insight into the life of our school with its particular ethos, facilities and attractions.
