Cabra Dominican College is a private, independent Catholic high school located at Cumberland Park, an inner-southern suburb in Adelaide, South Australia. It was established by an order of Dominican sisters from Cabra, Dublin in February 1886 with nine sisters, and caring for 37 boarders and 4-day girls.[1] Originally offering a co-educational primary education and a high school education for girls, it began accepting boys into the high school in 1978.[1]

The school caters for about 1,200 students and serves educational year grades from middle school to senior school (grade 7 to 13).[2] The college also offers a grade 13 for those who wish to further their education or if further education is necessary. The college also accepts many international students from countries including Japan and Italy.[1]

The college is distinguished by its rust coloured blazers – with the school colour scheme being gold, red, black and white.
