Assistant Principal's Report

Julia Bay

Thank you for a wonderful first half of Term 4 at Doncaster Primary School. 

We have celebrated many enjoyable events including our Colour Run, Dance Curriculum and Prep Transition Program. I want to thank all of our staff for providing these opportunities for our students and ensuring these events run smoothly, all of our students for the enthusiasm and focus they consistently bring to every element of school life at DPS, and our family community for volunteering and supporting all events that take place at our school. 

On Friday 30th October we celebrated a very happy World Teachers Day for all of our caring, dedicated, joyful and energetic teachers! We are very fortunate to have an exeptional team of educators at our school and I feel privileged to work with them every day. 

We have had many students represent our school over the start of Term 4 with students competing at both division and regional athletics competitions and our Level 6 softball team taking part in the finals. On Wednesday 4th November, Giselle from Level 6 represented Doncaster Primary School at the Rotary District Public Speaking Grand Final. We are exceptionally proud of Giselle for her achievement and showing our values of determination, pride and success. 

Over the start of the term all students have continued to focus on our whole body listening routine which ensures that all students are actively involved in their learning and are successful in every session of every day. Whole body listening has 5 elements which are; tracking the speaker, voices off, sitting correctly, ears listening and paying attention. Walking into any class in the school, it is evident that studetns are actively engaged in their learning and demonstrating our school wide positive behaviours of being their best and being respectful.

I look forward to seeing all of our DPS community over the second half of the term and I am looking forward to many more enjoyable events before the end of the year.
