This will be an opportunity to see familiar faces, the College grounds and to take a trip down memory lane as the College's history comes alive. Pencil this date into your diary and start contacting friends and encourage them to do the same.

Music Program
Welcome back to another great year of Music at Doncaster. Instrumental lessons and rehearsals have started this week so any students who haven’t made contact with their instrumental teacher yet please do so as soon as possible. If you are in year 7 and have had an offer sent to you to learn an instrument but haven’t responded yet, please return your form or email Mr Dean at Dean.Nicholas.J@edumail.vic.gov.au as soon as possible.
If you are in year 7, are new to the school or have only just decided you’d like to learn an instrument and would like to take advantage of the heavily subsidised lessons and ensemble experience, please see Mr Dean or Mrs Howes in the Music Centre office. Instruments that are currently available are Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Bass Guitar, Percussion/Drum kit, Violin, Viola and Cello. We also run a Rock Program, so if you play the Guitar, Keyboard, Bass, Drums, Sing or create Electronic Music and didn’t audition on Wednesday there still may be a place available for you in one of the bands. See Mr Dean in the Music office to arrange an audition.

Wellbeing Garden
Last year we had a brand new shaded area installed in the Wellbeing Garden. This area will be available to students during their lunch and recess breaks and will also provide an excellent space as an outdoor classroom setting.

Sustainable School Shop - Secondhand Uniforms
More than 200 families at the school per year use the Sustainable School Shop service for buying and selling second-hand uniforms, items that are listed for sale to sell. More items for sale are needed as there are far more buyers than there are sellers. If you have items you no longer need please list them for sale.
The items you list for sale will appear in the secondhand uniform Stocktake Report that is regularly sent to families. Given it is the beginning of the school year, this is a busy uniform trading time.
