Dear DCIS Parents,

The DCA Quiz Night on Friday was a great success, even though my team was defeated by most of the parent teams. Thank you to the DCA for another well organised event and thank you to Victus for hosting us at Mason's Table. A special thanks to our Quizmaster, John Fox.

I would also like to thank those who attended 'A Coffee with David Burren' this morning. We understand that these events are much appreciated and it is something that we will try to do regularly.

Our Year 13 students have started their IB Mocks today, a very important part of the preparation for their final exams in Term 3. We wish them the best of luck and thank the Dover Court community in advance for respecting their need of a quiet environment around C-block.

As you are aware, we have unfortunately had to cancel and reschedule many events this term, this includes the Pre-teen Parenting Workshop that was due to take place tomorrow, 3rd March. The Year 8 Parent Teacher Conferences will go ahead on Wednesday, 4th March. Please note that we will check temperatures of parents upon arrival and will have hand sanitiser available to use. We also request that only one parent attends the conferences with the student, as this will greatly reduce the number of people on site. The Parent attending must submit a signed Travel Declaration Form, which was sent out today by Mrs Hyland, or it can be filled in on arrival at the school. The Primary Parent Teacher Conference booking email for the meetings on the 16th and 17th March was sent out today. If you have any issues signing up, please contact Mrs Sheila Abdul.

Have a great week, and as always, please get in touch if you have any questions.
