Around the College
VCAL Project - MS Readathon
The MS Readathon inspires students to read as much as they can while supporting an important cause: Multiple Sclerosis. All throughout August, students aim to read as many books as they can (including online books) to raise funds for kids who have a parent living with multiple sclerosis.
VCAL students - Marcus T., Adam S. and Ava M. - have organized and registered our school for the MS Readathon to raise money for this important cause.
All students are welcome to join the Doncaster SC Team here.

Charles Allen Seymour Hawker Scholarship
Successful applicants of the CAS Hawker Scholarship are those who most convincingly demonstrate their potential as a future leader, the contribution they have made to their school and community and their academic ability, in keeping with the example C.A.S. Hawker set as a leader and his contribution and service to Australia.
At Doncaster SC we believe we have a few contenders and encourage our students to apply!
Scholarships are valued at up to $60,000 and are most often awarded to students entering their first year at University.
Applications open Monday 6th December 2021 and close Friday 7th January 2022.

Student Planner 2022
In term 3 our thoughts turn to the content and design of the 2022 School Planner. Students, we would love to hear any thoughts and ideas you may have about how we could improve its usability. Our SRC have already provided some really great feedback which we will take onboard.
Over the coming weeks, our Middle School and Senior School leaders will reach out to get your thoughts. In the meantime, you can email your suggestions to Lisa Fairweather, Marketing Communications Officer at DSC:
