Celebration Day
On November 21st we will be celebrating the conclusion of Year 12 and the high school journey of our Year 12 students.
All students in Year 12 are invited to Celebration Day which is an opportunity for the cohort to celebrate their successes and come together as the graduating class of 2024 for one last time.
Details:
When: November 21st
Where: Doncaster Secondary College, outside tennis court area
Time: 9am - 12pm
Cost: $26 (payable on Compass event 'Year 12 2025 Celebration Day!')
Timeline of the day:
9am - 10:15am: Breakfast, rides, games
10:15am - 11:00am: Performance Centre
11am - 12pm: Colour run, water-fight, rides
Students should also be mindful that there will be the famous 'colour run' and water-fight (provided the weather permits!). This will mean clothes will get dirty so wear something that you're prepared to get dirty in. You're also very welcome to dress up.
Students must enter via the Dianella St carpark, students should also park in side streets and not in the staff carpark. Please also carefully observe acceptable behaviour standards of the college. Students who choose to not follow college conduct may be asked to leave the event.
We look forward to celebrating with our Year 12s on the 21st! Please also note that Valedictory is the day after on the 22nd.
