Cornucopia Yearbook 2021
Cornucopia is the name of Doncaster Secondary College’s yearbook. 'Cornucopia' means: an abundant supply of good things. And good things is what it contains!
Cornucopia is a culmination of all the events, stories, sporting endeavours, creative activities and general frivolity that has taken place at our school over the past year. Despite the numerous lockdowns we have lived through in 2021, you’ll be surprised at how much we have achieved together. Carefully curated by our Yearbook Editor, Sue Hayward, Cornucopia is a keepsake that you will cherish and regularly refer to throughout your life.
The Cornucopia Yearbook 2021 will be distributed during mid term 4. To receive your copy please pay $25.00 through Compass Events or at the school office. There will only be a limited supply so please secure your copy.

DONATE YOUR OLD SCHOOL BOOKS & UNIFORMS
If you are wondering what to do with your old school text books, novels and school uniforms, why not donate them to the school.
Doncaster Secondary will happily accept all donations so we can add to our Welfare library and then distribute to those students in need.
You can leave your items at the front admin office and they will be bought down to the library.
Thank you in anticipation.
