What's Happening In Secondary

News and Information from Secondary

Wheelchair Basketball

On Tuesday 21st May, our Year 7 students had the opportunity to participate in a wheelchair basketball program as a part of our Inclusivity and Diversity Unit. Students took the afternoon to travel to Geneva and use their basketball courts.

 

Students met Paralympian basketballer, Katherine Reed and Katherine shared her testimony of her journey in life pre and post wheelchair. Students had a chance to better understand Katherine’s lifestyle by learning some wheelchair basketball skills, which then culminated in a scratch match between the Year 7's. Overall, students had a fantastic time learning and being challenged.

Are you a past student, staff member, Founder or Legacy partner of DCS? We are forever grateful for all the people who have helped to build DCS over the years into the growing, thriving school it is today, and we want to honour and celebrate you!

 

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.

 

If you have been involved at DCS as a Founder, past parent, staff member or student, are a current DCS family or are involved as a Legacy partner, we would love for you to join us for our Founder’s Day, Thursday 20th June.
