Year 9 Cluster Day
Our second Year 9 Cluster Day is happening on Wednesday 29th May. This time we will be exploring career paths that involve the 'Makers'. Students will spend a fun day of activities and presentations from people in the Trades & Apprenticeships areas.
Year 10 VCE Subject Expo
The annual DSC VCE Subject Expo will be held in David Perry Hall on Wednesday 29 May. This kick-starts the VCE subject selection process for our Year 10 students, however our Year 9 students will also be given time to attend. Even though our Year 9s are a year away from selecting their subjects, it's a great opportunity to get them thinking about their senior school pathway options. Teachers will have VCE subjects and VCE-VM displays set up and be on hand to answer any questions about future studies and vocational pathways.
