What's On at DCS

Casual Clothes Day – Friday 17 April

Students are invited to wear casual clothes, and bring a donation, on the final day of term, Friday 17th April. 

Funds raised will support MPFG Australia (Mission Possible for Future Generations), an organisation dedicated to empowering communities in the Philippines through access to education, sustainable development initiatives, and compassionate support for families in need. MPFG Australia believes every child has the potential to succeed, and that by investing in their growth today, we can help break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for individuals and communities.

In May, during the first two weeks of Term 2, a group of our Year 10 DCS students will step beyond the familiar rhythms of Devonport and into an experience that will stretch their hearts, deepen their faith, and awaken their understanding of God’s global family. This is more than a trip, it is a calling. A calling to serve, to see, and to love wholeheartedly.

Twenty-two students and six DCS staff will be travelling to Bacolod City on the island of Negros in the Philippines, where they will serve alongside MPFG, Mission Possible for Future Generations.

We invite our wider school community to partner with us in two ways:

• Prayer, as the team finalises preparations and undertakes this journey

• Financial support, through a donation on Casual Clothes Day

Donations may be a gold coin, or if you feel led, a larger amount. Funds raised will go towards providing educational resources for students in the Philippines and helping meet any gaps in child sponsorship support.

Please join us in prayer for the team, specifically:

• Open hearts, that students would be deeply shaped by what they see and experience

• Humility and unity, as they serve alongside others

• Protection and health throughout all travels

• Bold faith, that students would clearly see God at work and respond

• Lasting impact, both in the lives of those they serve and within their own hearts

Thank you for your continued prayers, generosity, and support.

ANZAC Day

DCS traditionally participates in the Devonport ANZAC Day March and Service held along Victoria Parade and the Cenotaph on Saturday, 25th April 2026 at 11:00am. We warmly invite any DCS students and families to attend, and we would especially value the presence of our school leaders to represent DCS on this important occasion. 

We ask that those participating to please meet Mrs Alison Moore and Mr Travis Cruse outside the Fire Station on Victoria Parade at 10:40am to gather before the commencement of the march. Students will be required to wear their formal winter school uniform, including blazers for our Secondary students. 

ANZAC Day is a time to honour and remember the bravery, sacrifice, and service of the men and women who have served our country in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping. It is an opportunity for our community to come together in reflection, gratitude, and respect.

We hope you can join us in commemorating this significant day.
