Cornucopia Yearbook 2021
Cornucopia is the name of Doncaster Secondary College’s yearbook. 'Cornucopia' means: an abundant supply of good things. And good things is what it contains!
Cornucopia is a culmination of all the events, stories, sporting endeavours, creative activities and general frivolity that has taken place at our school over the past year. Despite the numerous lockdowns we have lived through in 2021, you’ll be surprised at how much we have achieved together. Carefully curated by our Yearbook Editor, Sue Hayward, Cornucopia is a keepsake that you will cherish and regularly refer to throughout your life.
The Cornucopia Yearbook 2021 will be distributed during mid term 4. To receive your copy please pay $25.00 through Compass Events or at the school office. There will only be a limited supply so please secure your copy.
