What's Happening In Primary

Primary House Cross Country

A heartfelt thank you to the entire DCS community for the incredible support shown during the 2024 Primary House Cross Country. Events like these build upon the legacy of DCS, and we are grateful for the opportunity to come together as a community.

Cross Country provides a unique opportunity for students to participate in an activity that unites the entire school, much like our other cherished events, including Dedication, Founder's Day, Production and Friends and Family Morning. The sight and sound of students cheering for and encouraging one another is truly special, reflecting our commitment to demonstrating a heart for Jesus to others.

Congratulations to all students for their participation and making this another spectacular DCS event.

Are you a past student, staff member, Founder or Legacy partner of DCS? We are forever grateful for all the people who have helped to build DCS over the years into the growing, thriving school it is today, and we want to honour and celebrate you!

Our Founder’s Day is a time to reminisce, share memories and celebrate, not only our Founders, but all of the past students and families who have called DCS ‘home’ over the last 32 years, and the current Legacy partners who are working with us as we progress our vision into the Secondary years.
