Whilst many members of our community have been affected by the current safety protocols associated with COVID 19, few are more impacted than local charity providers  and those they serve, the most vulnerable in our community.

For the remainder of Term One, Duncraig Secondary would like to construct care packs for those in need living around Perth. As you do your weekly shopping, please consider adding a few of the items below to your trolley and arrange with your child to drop them off in the marked box outside Student Services. The Deans and I will work with our year 12s to create these packs before sending them on to local services where they will make their way into the hands of those that need them most.

Our Service Learning programme has been affected by our current settings and our students have been unable to participate in the same service activities that take place in any given term. This collection acknowledges this gap and sits as an addition to our Winter Appeal and our Christmas appeal.

Donations of second-hand small backpacks, handbags and reusable shopping bags will also be accepted.

Please see the photos of our Year 11 Marine and Maritime Studies students on their Open Water SCUBA diving course. There really is no better way to experience the marine environment! A great time had by all.

Ben Nicholson

Teacher – Science

Ms Wood and Mr Nicholson have taken the General and ATAR classes down to Mettam’s Pool multiple times this term.

The students can be seen practising their snorkelling skills, observing the effect of water pressure on gas volume, how the water depth effects colour, and even conducting environmental sampling using transects and quadrats.

Ellis Aitchison, Y11, met Scott Morrison.

Ellis is doing Cert II Civil Construction at Motivation Foundation and Scott Morrison visited there.
