We were honoured to receive the certificate pictured above from Hon. Bruce Atkinson MLC in recognition of our 50th Anniversary this year.
Our 50th Anniversary Celebration Day
In a couple of weeks we are holding our 50th Anniversary Celebration on Sunday, 24 March from 1.00pm at the College's David Perry Hall. This is a community event and will be an opportunity to see some familiar faces and to see the College's history come alive. There will be live entertainment from past and present student bands, food and beverages stalls and historical photo displays. This is a community event and everyone is welcome. If you're interested in attending, please register your interest by clicking on the link below.
Music News
The Music Department is now in full swing and all students should have had at least one lesson and one rehearsal with their ensemble. If your child hasn’t had either yet, please contact me or their instrumental teacher. Soundwosrks had their first rehearsal on Monday 4th March after school and they had a great turn up of enthusiastic new Year 7 students. Early rehearsals will require only basic knowledge of their instrument and time will be spent mostly on ensemble etiquette and learning to play together. Other ensembles have started their rehearsals also and I’d like to remind students that they need to arrive on time to get the most out of the rehearsals.
DSC 50th Anniversary Celebration Day
We have a collection of past and present Music students performing at our Celebration Day on Sunday, 24 March, on a stage outside the David Perry Hall. If you are interested in performing please contact Mr Dean in the Music Centre or email him at Dean.Nicholas.J@edumail.vic.gov.au. If not come along and enjoy the music anyway!
More positions available
If there are any students interested in having lessons on Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Tuba, Flute, Clarinet, Violin, Viola and Cello, we still have a limited number of positions available. At this stage positions in Guitar, Saxophone and Percussion are full. If you have now settled into school life and feel like you’d like a new challenge, contact Mr Dean to arrange a trial on any of the listed instruments. Our instrumental staff are very experienced and will be happy to assist you to start playing music on the instrument you’ve always wanted to play. Music levies are only $350 for a whole year of lessons so it’s a fantastic way to get into Music.
Singer Wanted
One of the Rock Bands in the Rock Program requires a singer to sing in a heavy rock/ funk style. If you can sing in this style and want to be a part of a great band in the Rock Program please contact Mr Dean.
Music Camp
Music camp is from the 27 - 29 May so put it on your calendars now and keep an eye on Compass for the information and payment amount. All Strings, Woodwind, Brass and Percussion students are expected to attend.

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.
