Year 7 Camp

Week five saw our wonderful Year 7 students challenge themselves at ‘Camp Weekaway’ in Benloch Valley. Our students spent two nights away and participated in various activities such as canoeing, raft building, ziplining, mountain biking,  initiatives, hut building, the maze and a ‘bush rescue’. They worked together with their peers to solve problems and form new connections and friendships that will last for years to come.

It was great to see our Year 7s build their teamwork and resilience and I saw a lot of smiles as well as some pretty tired faces at the end of the week. We’ll always remember roasting marshmallows, our eye-opening night walk and Mr Gardiner practically living in the dam. Our second half of campers also participated in an interschool round-robin on Wednesday and represented Doncaster with pride.

A big thank you to our fabulous peer-buddies. These Year 9 students gave up their time to come and support the Year 7s on camp and it was great to see them challenge themselves and develop their leadership skills. I’d also like to thank all of the staff involved in preparing for and running the camp. Camps like this take a huge team and couldn’t happen without their dedication.

Year 9 Art Electives

Some fantastic work has been created by DSC’s Year 9 students in their various Art electives this term. They are to be congratulated on their focus, creativity and outstanding skill level. I can’t wait to see the amazing art pieces they each create with the remainder of the semester.
