What's On at DCS

Upcoming Events for Students and Families

Easter Service

DCS families and friends are invited to join us 8:30am Thursday 2nd April for our Easter Service.

Please join us in the Jiloa Centre for a special community time together as we worship and reflect on the Easter message, followed by morning tea afterwards.

Remaining Dates for Jiloa Juniors and Little Sprouts

We would like to remind families of the remaining dates for Term One Playgroups.

Little Sprouts will still be running on Thursday 2nd April, but as Good Friday falls on Friday 3rd April, Jiloa Juniors will take a short break over the Easter period. Sessions will resume again with Little Sprouts on Thursday 9th April and Jiloa Juniors on Friday 10th April.

Our last Little Sprouts for Term One will be on Thursday 16th April and we will finish off the term with Jiloa Juniors on Friday 17th April.

Playgroup will recommence in Term Two on Thursday 7th May for Little Sprouts and Friday 8th May for Jiloa Juniors.

We hope you have all enjoyed a wonderful Term One so far, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Easter Holiday Break Reminder

Please note that school will be closed from Good Friday 3rd April through to Easter Tuesday, 7th April.

Students return to school on Wednesday 8th April for the final two weeks of Term 1.

Wishing our school families a restful and reflective Easter break.

Secondary families...

Don’t tell the students… We’ve heard that some students might try to convince their parents to skip Secondary Athletics Day (because apparently parents don't attend secondary events...). But at DCS, we love having our parents involved and partnering with us to make school events special!

So, we’re adding a little extra incentive for parents to jump in on the fun

Come along, dress up in your House colours, and cheer loudly! The top three parents, family or friends who display the best DCS team spirit over the day will walk away with fuel voucher prizes:

$100 for first place
$75 for second place
$50 for third place

Bring the colour, bring the energy, and be part of the excitement as you cheer our students on. We can’t wait to see you there!
