What's Happening In Secondary

Year 8 Camp

In the final week of Term 1, our Year 8 students embarked on our first-ever Year 8 Camp at the Lea Scout Centre in Hobart. Our students even had the privilege of meeting the Tasmanian Jack Jumpers Coach, Scott Roth, during our pit stop in Campbell Town!

Our focus for camp was: 'We are Better Together!' Students participated in many group activities where they were required to collaborate and strategise together and encourage their classmates. From creating chants, to Minute To Win It games, Grug, laser skirmish, a scavenger hunt, abseiling and a flying fox, our Year 8's demonstrated that we truly are better together!

Thank you to all the staff who helped make this camp possible and an even bigger thank you to Ms Coates for all the time and effort she put in to make camp something that all who went will never forget.

Year 7 Information Sessions

2025 will see the third year of Year 7 at Devonport Christian School. Since commencing in 2023 we have seen our Secondary school flourish, with exciting and innovative programs providing exceptional learning opportunities for our Secondary students. Our Secondary school is growing in numbers and planning is well underway for our new Year 9 and 10 Centre which will provide an additional learning space for our secondary students, and in doing so open up more areas for our Year 7 and 8 students.

We will be hosting two information sessions on Thursday 2nd May from 3.30-4.30pm and Friday 3rd May from 1.45-2.45pm in the JILOA Centre.  While these sessions are particularly for those who may have missed our information evening earlier this year, all parents of Year 5 and Year 6 students are invited to come along to hear about our commitment to continuing our DCS learning culture and community into the secondary years.

Walk Safely to School Day

This year National Walk Safely to School Day is held on Friday 10th May. This is a wonderful opportunity to gather as the DCS Community with our families and friends.

We will be meeting at the Splash carpark ready to leave at 8am and walking to school together via the walking track.  Once we arrive at school, Breakfast club will be open for breakfast treats and hot drinks.

But wait…there’s more!

All parents who wish to stay on for assembly can catch the DCS Bus back to Splash! The bus will be leaving from the Secondary area after assembly from 8:45am to get you back to your car if you wish. Otherwise, enjoy the walk back along the Don tracks at your leisure.

All families are welcome to attend! As this is a community event it is expected that students will walk under the supervision of their families.

This event will be weather permitting. Families will be notified via Schoolbox and Facebook should we need to cancel.

We are looking forward to a great morning!

All Secondary students will be participating in the DCS Secondary Cross Country on Tuesday 14th May from 1.30pm.  Parents are warmly invited to come and watch students' race here at school and through the Don Reserve tracks.
