Domremy College Five Dock is a comprehensive Catholic Secondary School for girls in Years 7 - 12. The College is part of the Sydney Catholic Schools system of primary and secondary schools operating across the Archdiocese of Sydney. It is named after the birthplace of St Joan of Arc, the patroness of Haberfield Parish. The Presentation Sisters established the College and administered it until 1997. The College continues to educate our students in the Presentation ideals of being women who promote Gospel values, human dignity, justice and reforms which challenge some of the negative values of society.

Following its establishment with 12 pupils in 1911, Domremy College rapidly developed into a private school with infants, primary and secondary departments and Leaving Certificate examinations. With the introduction of the Wyndham Scheme for Secondary Education in NSW in 1966, the Secondary section of the College became a Year 7 - 10 school for girls within the Sydney Archdiocese Catholic Education System. During the years which followed, the infants and primary departments of the College were phased out. In 1985, approval was granted to once again conduct a high school for full secondary education from Years 7 - 12.
