What's On at DCS
Upcoming Events for Students and Families
Primary Art Competition
This YEAR’S THEME IS... ‘COMMUNITY’
What type of art... Picture or 3D?
What style of art... Realistic or Abstract?
What aspect of community would you like to show in your artwork?
Ideas to help...
Animals which live in communities - ants, bees, dolphins, gorillas, elephants
People living in communities – different places, towns or cities, other countries and cultures
Feelings about being in community - sharing, love, feeling connected, feeling safe, belonging
How do you feel when you think about being part of our DCS community?
What patterns or colours come to mind?
Your art needs to be inspired by the word community.
The artwork needs to be done by you, without parent help, computer help or tracing.
It can be 3D (sculpture) or a picture - no larger than A3.
All pictures need to be completed on paper or lightweight card (easier for hanging).
Each student can only submit one piece of art.
There will be a prize for each category winner for Kinder, Preps and each grade from Year 1 to Year 6.
You will need to collect and complete a submission form from your class teacher or Mrs Clark.
The form and your artwork need to be given to Mrs Clark by Friday 16th May.
All artworks will be on display in the art exhibition and for voting by judges and our school community.
Art competition entries will be part of our art exhibition, which is launched at our Primary Creative Arts Afternoon Wednesday 28th May 3:15 – 4:30pm.

Casual Clothes Day
On Friday 11th April, our students will be having an end-of-term casual clothes day. Students in both Primary and Secondary are invited to wear casual clothes. Please ensure that casual clothes are appropriate with fully enclosed shoes to provide protection. Cost is a gold coin donation with all proceeds going to Gran's Van.
