Week Beginning 13th January 2020 - Christopher Short, DCIS Principal

Dear DCIS Parents,

We had a wonderful first week of term last week and I am so proud of how well our new students have settled in.

Friday's Charity Drive in support of those affected by the Indonesian flooding and Australian wildfires was very successful and I am proud to share that the Dover Court community raised $5600. The money is being transferred to the Red Cross, who are working hard in the affected areas.  

There has been a fantastic buzz around the campus today, with the start of this year's swim galas. Well done to all children in Year 3 who did their very best in the water and thank you to all parents who helped cheer the children on.

The Parents' Support Network and the Japanese Parents' Network had their first meetings of term this morning. Both these networks are parent initiated and supported by the school. 

The Mandarin Department are very grateful to those who have signed up as Temple Fair volunteers. There are few slots left, if you are able to help support this wonderful event, please complete Temple Fair Volunteer form.

The tickets for the DCA Secondary (Years 7-9 and 11ML) disco are now on sale. Please refer to the email sent out by the DCA for further information.

The ECA confirmation email will be sent out this afternoon, the ECAs start on Friday, 17th January. Please note that ECA buses are only available to students in Year 2 upwards and that there are no ECA buses on Mondays.

Finally, a reminder that our school campus is completely nut free. We have students in our school that are severely allergic, so no food or snacks containing any nuts, including Nutella, are allowed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 

Have a great week.
