What's Happening In Secondary

Secondary Orientation Day

On Wednesday 27th November, Secondary hosted our Orientation Day. It was amazing to see our 2025 Year 7, 8 and 9 students worshiping God together in The Gathering, meeting new teachers and staff, learning new routines, and serving one another. We were also able to welcome a number of students who will be new to DCS next year. 

Year 7's experienced a typical day in Secondary, with English, Maths, Beyond Core and Design.

Year 8's reflected on their year, learned about the Leadership Board, participated in some GLS sessions, prepared lunch to share, and learned to make resin bookmarks, which they later taught the Year 7's to make.

Year 9's had their first experience of our Year 9 Beyond Program, including splitting into their tribes and meeting their facilitators. They enjoyed being offsite and participating in a range of activities designed to get them thinking about moving from childhood to being a young adult. Orientation Day helped all our students begin to prepare for next year.  

2024 Celebration Service

Devonport Christian School is excited to gather as a community for our 2024 Kinder to Year 8 Celebration Service.

Our Celebration Service will be held at the paranaple centre TONIGHT (Wednesday 4th December) at 6:30pm.  Market Square is available for families to bring a picnic and socialise from 5:00pm onwards. Doors to the paranaple Centre will open at 6:10pm and students will need to be seated by 6:20pm.

Our Celebration Service is a wonderful evening where we have the opportunity to reflect on the past year, praise and worship God for His amazing goodness to our school and celebrate our students and staff. Students from Kinder, Prep, Year 3/4, Year 6 and selected Secondary students will perform on stage on the night, with other classes being featured in some amazing video presentations.

Some important information:

• Doors open at 6:10pm
• Students to be seated in the paranaple Centre or allocated room by 6.20pm
• Students in Prep-Year 8 are to wear their formal school uniform
• Kinder students wear their sports uniform

We have been made aware of the following from Devonport City Council in regards to parking and roadworks currently being conducted at the Best Street/Fenton Way intersection (near Harris Scarfe):

The Best Street/Fenton Way intersection (near Harris Scarfe) will be closed from 6pm for overnight works. Entry to the multi-level car park will be from the Best Street entry only and not via Fenton Way. Cars will need to travel up Best Street from the McDonalds end and turn right into the car park. There will be no oncoming traffic due to the closure. Cars will then exit out of Fenton way. 

Council may have traffic control onsite during our Celebration Service, but we just wanted to make all families aware ahead of time.

Please see Schoolbox for a post with information on where your child needs to gather at the beginning of the evening.
