Athletics Carnival 

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.
