School Holiday Office Hours

It has been our pleasure to serve you throughout 2024 and we look forwarding to continuing this in 2025. Please see below for our office holiday opening hours.

We wish all our students and families a safe, restful and wonderful summer break.

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.

Salvation Army Christmas Appeal

This Christmas DCS is partnering with The Salvation Army to “Give a new beginning this Christmas” and host a food drive. It’s a wonderful way for us to join together as DCS Community  to bless Devonport, and shine our light on those doing it tough.

It is as easy as adding something extra to your grocery list to bless another family. These items can be brought into the Front Office from Wednesday 27th November up until the 10th of December. Please refer to the shopping list for suitable items. 

We are looking forward to spreading Hope this Christmas.
