News and Information from Primary
This week we celebrate that all DCS Primary students have now had the opportunity to be together with their whole class. Last week our Kinder and Prep students had their first days as small classes with a staggered start. It has been a joy watching each student commence the year.
Walking through the classrooms, playground and Primary assemblies there is a sense of calmness and excitement for the year to come. In the Principal Ponderings Jiloa article last week, Mr Smit shared that the theme of the year is "Unshakeable". This theme will guide us as a school as we work together as a community. During the Monday Assemblies we will link the "Unshakeable" theme with the Character First program.
Throughout the year, DCS Primary will continue to follow the Character First program. To commence the year, we will explore the character trait of Responsibility. Character First defines Responsibility as "taking ownership of my thoughts, words, and actions."
To help our students embody Responsibility, we'll introduce them to the "five I will statements," which are practical commitments each student can make to develop this character trait:
Throughout the year we will be asking students to share highlights and thoughts on activities that have taken place in the life of DCS. This week we have asked students to share their highlights from the start of 2024.
