What's Happening In Secondary

English

Our Year 7 and Year 8 English program features structured, explicit instruction with lots of deliberate practice and daily review. If you know a Secondary English student, ask them to tell you about simple, compound and complex sentences! 

We are always working to build background knowledge and our confidence in reading, analysing ideas and spelling. Year 7 students work hard to write formal, analytical sentences, and these sentences build into essay paragraphs as seen in the Year 8 examples below.

Learning to read and write academically with excellent spelling and punctuation is a major focus in Year 7 and 8 and we are so impressed with the progress our students are making. 

Parent Teacher Interviews

Parent Teacher interviews will be held in Term 3 on Tuesday 30th July and Wednesday 31st July for both Primary and Secondary.  Bookings for Parent Teacher Interviews can now be done through Parent Lounge and will be open for bookings from 8:00am Monday 1st July.  Please have a look at this exciting new feature once it opens up!

Primary interviews will be held in both the Jiloa Centre and Alpha HQ (STEM Centre), and the Secondary interviews will be held in the Secondary classrooms.  Please note, for secondary families wishing to see Jack Harvey, he will be meeting with parents in the Jiloa Centre.

All class teachers will be available for you to speak with, including our specialist teachers.

Our Founder’s Day is a time to reminisce, share memories and celebrate, not only our Founders, but all of the past students and families who have called DCS ‘home’ over the last 32 years, and the current Legacy partners who are working with us as we progress our vision into the Secondary years.
