2023 Intentions

It is hard to believe that it is time to start planning for 2023! In order for us to establish classes and appoint staff, we require accurate information from our families in relation to your child/children’s enrolment at Doherty's Creek P-9 College next year. 

Although we are disappointed to see anyone from the DCC family leave, we understand that family circumstances sometimes necessitate this. Therefore, could you please complete this short survey on the following link for EACH of your children.  https://forms.gle/63siDBELB27Tf1oa9  Please return this information ASAP. As always, please do not hesitate to contact the school should you have any queries.

Change of clothes:

If your child is in Prep, or is prone to having “accidents”, please leave a change of clothes in their bag as the school has very little spare uniform to be able to supply a change. 

Uniform - Buy, Swap, Sell

Lost Property:

We always aim to return what we can but often when items are unnamed, they are added and remain to the ever increasing lost property pile.

We hope to reunite as many items as possible with their rightful owners. If you think your child may have misplaced anything at the school, please take a moment to look through the wooden create located in the library entrance. 

Please LABEL your children's belongings!
