What's Happening In Secondary

News and Information from Secondary

Jumpstart

How do you like to get ready in the morning? What helps you ‘get into the zone’ and ready to learn? You may like to listen to ‘Eye of the Tiger’ and get the adrenaline flowing or, you might prefer to have a nice calming cup of tea or coffee. In Secondary we have a great program to help us get ready to learn for the day called Jump Start. On Monday and Wednesday mornings we start the first 20 minutes of our days at Jump Start, choosing between the options available to help us prepare for the day. 

 

This term we have had four options running during the morning: 

 

Contemplation: In Contemplation, students come into a quiet room where we play worship music and have a featured verse with guiding questions for a prayer journal. Students choose to sit quietly, pray, write, draw and relax their way into the day. 

 

Walk and Talk: Students who want to start their day with connection to their peers before class often choose to walk and talk with their friends in the morning - getting their mind and body active and switched on before heading to class. They also have the option to walk while listening to music. 

 

Boot Camp: In this option, students do highly physical activity to truly kick start their day. Chasing that dopamine hit, students are able to get rid of any excess energy before they settle into the classroom. 

 

Chess Club: Finally, students who really want to stretch their brain muscles before class, have the option to verse each other and/ or staff in a game of chess. Activating their problem-solving skills to get ready for the day, these students get ‘in the zone’ to conquer their learning. 

 Founder's Day

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.

 

If you have been involved at DCS as a Founder, past parent, staff member or student, are a current DCS family or are involved as a Legacy partner, we would love for you to join us for our Founder’s Day, Thursday 20th June.
