PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

Senior School Exams 

All our Year 12 students will finish their exams next week. The attitude and approach to the exams have been very positive and we hope our students achieve the results they are hoping for and the results they deserve!

Next Monday, 19 November the Year 10 and 11 exams period will begin.  It is important that the students respect the process associated with formal assessment and arrive punctually for their exams, adequately prepared and with the permitted materials/equipment.  These exams present students with an excellent opportunity to experience similar expectations to that of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority when it comes to Year 12 examinations.

Remembrance Day 2018

On Friday, 9 November, our College led a Remembrance Day observance at the Doncaster RSL. Doncaster Secondary College and the Doncaster RSL have an established relationship where our Year 9 History students are charged with the responsibility to organise and run the proceedings. Our students hosted the service, presented readings, shared their thoughts and learnings associated with Remembrance Day and the events surrounding it, and participated in the wreath-laying ceremony.

The ex-service people and visitors, and special guests were all most impressed by our students and very appreciative of the work they had done. While this ceremony was underway, the remaining Year 9 classes participated in a similar observance at the College. It was a wonderfully moving activity and one that creates very important memories and links between our veterans and our young people.

Thank you to our students for their wonderful work and especially to our teachers who have helped support and build this strong relationship with the RSL.
