R U Ok Day
On Thursday 9th September it was R U Ok Day 2021. The DSC staff put an extra emphasis on checking in with their students' well-being by starting conversations and providing various resources to support services.
In recognition of the day, and to encourage students to feel comfortable reaching out, teachers changed their Webex and MS Teams banners.
A simple, "Are you ok?", could change someone's life.
Homework Club
When students return to on-site learning, the Homework Club will be starting up once again for this term on Thursdays at 3.30 pm in the A Block. Students are welcome to join and get support with their homework.
