This week our Hair and Beauty class explored the use of costume makeup to create realistic wounds, cuts and bruises. It was an excellent session, with lots of fun and creativity on display. The results truly speak for themselves.

Our Secondary Athletics Carnival will be held on Thursday 9 April, and we couldn’t be more excited! Everything will be ready to go, and we are looking forward to a fantastic day filled with cheering, smiles, and celebrating the achievements of our wonderful Secondary students.
We warmly invite all parents, families, and friends to come along and join in the fun. Please bring a hat and a picnic rug, and settle in to enjoy the day.
DCS Community has organised the Small Brew Coffee Van to help keep staff and parents caffeinated throughout the day. All beverages from Small Brew will be complimentary for parents and staff. Secondary students are welcome to purchase drinks at their own expense.
We are also delighted to once again welcome Rory’s Hot Spuds food van, which will be on site serving meals and cold drinks for parents and staff throughout the day.
In addition, a small student canteen will be available, offering items such as Gatorade, lolly bags, and chocolate bars, with prices ranging from $2.00–$5.00. Both cash and EFTPOS payments will be accepted.
We look forward to sharing an enjoyable and memorable day with our school community.




DCS is actively partnering with our colleagues at Leighland Christian School to provide information and experiences that will support our Year 10 students as they consider continuing their education in Years 11 and 12 at Leighland.
Over the course of this year Leighland team members will be visiting DCS to connect with our senior students. And our DCS students will be invited to Leighland activities and events to enhance these connections.
Families exploring Year 11 and 12 options for 2027 are strongly encouraged to book a tour at Leighland Christian School for further information.
