February 10, 2020

Last  week, we commissioned our new Year 12s and School Captains, we also welcomed back students from the Class of 2019 who achieved an ATAR score over 90 in their WACE Exams. Our alumni were kind enough to offer their peers some words of wisdom as they continue through their high school years.

We Remember Them…

May 2, 2018

Anzac Day, 25 April, is one of Australia’s most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.

Yesterday Duncraig held a Anzac Day Service on the Quad.

It was attended by the whole school.

“This is a day not of celebration but of national memory. It’s a day when we learn, and learn again, of the horror of purposeless war. It is a day for looking after your mates, cherishing your home, your neighbourhood and family. It’s a day for realising how rare this wonderful country of ours is and how precious it is.” – Unknown

Drum for a Cause Fund Raising Event

October 17, 2017

The recent fund-raising event, Akwaaba, was a tremendous success with a fantastic attendance.

Parents and students enjoyed the drumming workshop and delicious barbeque.

Mr Clay Osbourne was the coordinator of this event and had this to say “Well done to everyone for being proactive and helping out at the Drumming night tonight. You really came together as a team tonight. Your initiative and willingness to get involved was amazing. Thank you! Thank you to all the parents and everyone who purchased tickets. Your contributions will go toward our service initiates and greatly benefit children in South Africa.”

Well done again on a fantastic effort!
