The staff have been busy preparing for students return to school and while operations will go back to somewhat normal, there
have also been some recent changes to comply with the department’s recommendations, including the need for students to be
wearing masks until further notice.
This year’s first cycle of reports will be available shortly and it will be a great opportunity to gauge your student’s progress.
It should provide some guidance in how well the students have been doing after returning from last year’s interrupted remote
learning period. The term ahead has plenty happening with the swimming sports which has just been completed, interschool
cricket, the Year 9 day at THE SUMMIT and much, much more.

These students should be thinking seriously about organising
a Work Experience placement for the last week of Term
2: June 21-25. Students can collect Work Experience
Arrangement forms from the Careers Office. Approximately
200 students will be seeking placements so there is hot
competition for places.
MOBILE PHONES AT DSC
With the return to school, it is a good time to remind students
who choose to bring mobile phones to school that they must
have them switched off and securely stored during school hours.
The policy applies to mobile phones, music players, wireless
headphones and non-laptop internet-connected devices.
At DSC this means phones and other devices are to be switched
off and stored in students’ locked lockers from the start of
period one until the end of the school day, including recess and
lunchtime.
This will be a six and a half hour mobile phone detox for
students each school day.
If parents need to contact students they can do so via the office.
This is a government policy in place in all Victorian Government
Schools.
