Dear Parents and Guardians,

As you know the secondary dismissal bell goes at 3:20pm.

Our primary students are dismissed at 3:10pm and their families are struggling to get around the turning circle and out of the way in time for secondary dismissal.

This is due to secondary student parents arriving from 2:50pm and parking or waiting in the area.

It would be helpful if secondary student parents arrived a little closer to 3:20pm and keep along the shoulder to allow primary student parents to move through the circle.

When waiting for your child in the bottom carpark along Doveridge Drive, please park in allocated bays and avoid idling in a queue of traffic.

On average our community collect their children and are off the campus within 15 minutes, which is wonderful considering the number of cars involved. Thank you for your patience and consideration as we continue to successfully navigate our drop offs and pick-ups.

Kind regards

Dr Darnelle Pretorius

Head of Campus – Duncraig

T5 had their service excursion to help ‘Friends of Yellagonga’ to rehabilitate bushland in Kingsley. We spent nearly 3 hrs weeding, planting and clearing rubbish to make a difference in our community. It made all the hard work worthwhile seeing what a difference we made to our community!

A selected group of Y9 students  have been mentoring the Y2s to help support their learning and make things more fun! SO far they have been involved in Bush school to teach students how to tie knots and build shelters and assisting them in their primary visit last week.

The year 10 Visual Arts students were visited by established artist Rachelle Dusting to learn the techniques and skills she has developed and honed over her artistic career. Under Rachelle’s careful and learned instruction, the students investigated the concept of visual temperature in oil painting using warm and cool colours over a three hour workshop. The first study was a basic ball image used to understand the relationship between temperature and areas of shadow and highlight, including reflections and light sources. Armed only with shades of red, yellow, blue and white, the students were challenged to create lifelike skin tones in their second study of a human ear.

Well done to our  AFL Girls Team who experienced their first win last week. The team showed great form and skills on the field, we can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings. Go girls!
