Celebration Spot
Honouring and celebrating our student's achievements
Each week we love to celebrate any students who may have achieved something significant during the past week; sporting events, dancing, baptisms, theatre, music achievements, new babies etc. both inside school and outside school.
Please email admin@dcs.tas.edu.au with the details (we would love a photo too!) so we can celebrate together as a community.

Interschool Puzzle Club State Jigsaw Puzzle Competition
Congratulations to our 12 primary students who participated in the Interschool Puzzle Club State Jigsaw Puzzle competition yesterday here at DCS.
Competing against schools from across Northern Tasmania, students tackled a range of challenges including puzzle chess, puzzle sprints, bingo challenges, and a 300-piece jigsaw puzzle race. Our DCS teams achieved an outstanding result, taking out 1st, 3rd and 4th place, as well as a number of DCS teams that won some mini challenges as well. The winning team completed their puzzle in an incredible 42 minutes and these students will now go through to the online Nationals competition next Friday 6th November.
Well done to all the students who participated and a special thank you to Miss Smith for her dedication in preparing and supporting the team before and throughout the event.
Japan School Exchange
Year 9 student Nicholas is currently on a four-week exchange in Japan, where he is living with a local family and attending a local school. Nick's adventures have included visiting the beautiful Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island, exploring Hiroshima Castle and its gardens, touring Hiroshima University, and discovering many of Hiroshima’s shopping districts.
He even participated in a cultural festival where his class performed a song in front of the entire school! Playing basketball with students at his school has also been a great way for him to connect with others through something he loves.
What an amazing adventure! We can't wait to hear more about Nick's experiences when he returns to DCS.
