Big Hairy Audacious Goal

Our Year 8 DiSCovery classes have just commenced an exciting project - the Big Hairy Audacious Goal! Over the school year, our Year 8 students will be working hard on a project that they feel passionate about. It doesn't necessarily need to be related to school work. It can be a project that goes toward solving a problem and/or helps the community in some way.

At the end of the year, we will be presenting the work achieved by our students on a DSC Gallery Wall for our Grade 6 Orientation students to view. We can't wait to see what our students produce.

Year 7 Cricket Sign Up

The Year 7 Cricket Round Robin will be taking place on Friday 10th March 2023. All Year 7 students that are interested in representing DSC in cricket should use the link below to SIGN UP NOW! Please ensure that you complete the sign up form by 4pm Tuesday 28th February 2023.

If you have any further questions about DSC Sport please come and speak to Mr Pring in the stadium office.

Uniform Reminder

Wearing the correct uniform demonstrates that a student is ready to learn. Page 5 and 6 of the Student Planner outlines our summer uniform requirements and expectations. If students are out of uniform then they must present note from home to the Junior School reception before class at 9am in order to obtain a Uniform Pass.

Required laptop program for NAPLAN

NAPLAN testing will take place in Week 7 on student laptops. We ask that families download the Naplan Online test program to their student's laptop at home to avoid any last minute IT issues. Download the program using this link:
