DISTRICT ATHLETICS SUCCESS

Wow Wow Wow, Donvale has won again!

What a fantastic day Donvale had at the District Athletics Carnival this week! We were not only finally handed our well awaited Cross Country Shield, but we came away with winning the Athletics Shield as well!  We couldn't be more prouder of our students and the effort they displayed Wednesday at the Doncaster District Athletics Carnival.  There were many personal bests and 22 students have made it through to the next Division round.  Thank you to our attending staff Mrs Costopoulos, Miss Priest, Mrs Dorman and to all the parents who came to support our 56 representatives.
