Dominic College, a Catholic school in Glenorchy, was formed in 1973 by an amalgamation of three schools, including Savio College, formerly Boys’ Town, which was a children’s Home and school that received child migrants in the early 1950s. Dominic College has a strong old boys’ network that includes the former child migrants. In October 2012, the College celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their arrival at Boys’ Town.
