Year 12 Encouragement Pack

Over the school holiday break, our Year 12 students each received a Care Pack in the mail, which was full of all kinds of goodies and an Encouragement Card cleverly designed by Ms Patterson. We hope you're feeling rejuvenated after the break, after was has been an extraordinary and challenging year so far. All of the staff here at DSC are so incredibly proud of the resilience each of you has shown during this difficult time. With the end of the year nearing and celebrations just around the corner, we wish you all the very best for your assessments.

Messages of encouragement from our staff at DSC:

2020 Australian Science Olympiads - Physics, Chemistry and Biology

As Science is an integral part of most of our lives, from climate change, food security to disease prevention; the science that we learn today will have a significant impact on what happens on our planet tomorrow!

It was impressive to see Doncaster Secondary College Science students use their critical knowledge and problem-solving skills to compete in the Australian Science Olympiads and achieve excellent results.

An outstanding effort from the largest group of DSC students that competed in the Australian Science Olympiad.

Physics- 2 Distinctions (top 20%);

Chemistry - 1 Distinctions (top 20%); and 4 Credits (top 30%);

Biology - 4 Distinctions (top 20%); and 4 Credits (top 30%).
