State Schools Relief

Support is available for families in need to help with school uniform requirements. Families may access either specific logo uniform items or an $80 voucher to contribute toward uniform purchases. This support is available across all year levels, and a Prep package is also offered.

A Health Care Card is not required to access this service.

Parent Payments

Just a reminder that Parent Payments for 2026 are now available on Compass under the Course Confirmation tab.

Thank you to all families who have already made their contributions. Your support plays a vital role in ensuring students have access to the tools, resources, and experiences they need to thrive. These contributions also help us continue building an exceptional learning environment for your child.

Lunch Orders

Students at DPS have the option for order a lunch order on Mondays & Wednesdays, from Classroom Cuisine. Orders can be placed online at www.classroomcuisine.com.au any time until 8:30am on the day. 

Lost property

If your child has misplaced any of their belongings at school, we have two lost property boxes. One at the tiger turf end of the junior building, and the other opposite the after school care room in the middle school building. 

Please ensure all your child's belongings are named clearly so it is easier for them to be found when they are misplaced.
