Cabra Dominican College is a private, independent Catholic high school located at Cumberland Park, an inner-southern suburb in Adelaide, South Australia.

In 1868, seven Dominican sisters were invited by the Bishop of Adelaide to visit the South Australian city.

The school officially opened in February 1886, with a total of nine sisters caring for 37 boarders and 3-day girls.

who was sent down to South Australia in 1875 to assist with the troubles the sisters were facing after the death of Teresa Moore.

As the first Prioress of St. Mary's Franklin Street, she conditioned the building of a small girls boarding school.

She was a vital contribution to the sisters overcoming hardships faced after the excommunication of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop in 1871.

Since the establishment of the College, the Veritas Magazine has been printed annually and distributed to staff, families, and old scholars at the end of every year.

In its thirty-plus years, the St Mary's Unit has brought many meaningful teaching and learning experiences for the students.

The St Mary's Unit students enrich the Cabra Dominican College community with their enthusiasm, passion and talents.

The unit provides specialised life education curriculum programs for students with diagnosed intellectual disabilities.

Please note that the enrolment process and selection criteria are the same for the St Mary's Unit, as that of the College.

Students would purchase tickets from the school for $5, and the community would gather on an oval to watch a large projection of a movie.

The home economics kitchen and classroom are also located within the ground level as is the college boardroom.

Opened in 2017, the newly developed St. Catherine's Wing saw the old music rooms become 4 multipurpose classrooms split across the upper two levels of the convent.

The eastern side of convent houses the St. Bridget's wing which includes a multitude of various music rooms and facilities.

It is the namesake of St. Brigid's Square on the west of the wing, a common gathering area which is used for student-held handball matches during the morning and breaks.

The ground floor of the building has various science laboratories including specialised facilities for chemistry, physics, and biology.

Originally a science laboratory, Aquinas Theatre is now one of three dedicated dance and drama spaces that the college offers.

Redeveloped in 2017 to accommodate a new library at the college, O'Mara is made up of 10 classrooms, one of which is a general science lab.

Up until 2018, a small, corrugated-iron gym was located at the site, but was demolished as part of a series of renovations in the school.

The black and white Cross in the centre of the shield was worn by the knights of the Order of Calatrava, a family of which St Dominic's mother was of.

The Cabra courts were used in the filming of RackaRacka's popular YouTube video STUNT GONE WRONG (Live)[8]
