Principals' Message

2025 School Captains

It is incredible to think that we are wrapping up another fantastic year of teaching and learning. I am immensely proud of our students and teachers for their unwavering commitment and hard work towards education. As we conclude the 2024 school year, I am filled with pride reflecting on all that we have accomplished as a school community in enriching the lives of our children. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful families at Donvale for your continuous support of our school. To the families who are moving on from Donvale, thank you for your contributions, which have made a lasting impact on our school community.

A special thank you goes out to Louise Martin for her exceptional dedication and support as the school council president. We are grateful to Lou and Tim for their tireless efforts in supporting our school community over the years, and we wish them and the entire family all the best in their future.

As the year comes to a close, we have many celebrations ahead, including our Grade 6 Graduation on Monday. I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to bid farewell to our students and commemorate this significant milestone with them and their families. Graduation marks the culmination of all the experiences, learning, and growth during the primary years of schooling. We are incredibly proud of the class of 2024 and wish them the best as they move on to the next chapter. Remember, Donvale Primary School will always be your school, and our doors are always open for you to come back and say hello next year.

A big thank you to Andre, Eleanor, JZ, and Lucy for their exceptional leadership as school captains this year. I am immensely proud of their growth in leadership, and I wish them continued success in their future endeavours. 

Congratulations to our new school captains for 2025:
