We hope everyone enjoyed their shadow day at DSS. We enjoyed having you here. I will be visiting your schools with Mrs.McMahon (Head of Student Services) on December 1st to go over your option sheets and your evening visit to DSS on December 8th at 7pm. We ask that parents , and/or any family members or guardians that you wish to bring come out for this very informative evening. You will get to meet various staff members, visit classrooms and meet representatives form various clubs and teams. Grade 8 students will participate in a passport activity that allows them to enter a draw for prizes.

P.S THANK-YOU to all the community members , parents and students that supported the DSS magazine campaign.

We have had a very busy start to second semester. Students have been settling into their classes. Student Council is busy setting up activities, charity projects and dances. Sports teams have been out competing in tournaments. Ski club is out enjoying the snow. The Drama Club is getting ready for this years production. These are only a few projects that have been in the works following our semester 1 exams.

It always amazes me how many projects are constantly on the go at our school. The students and teachers at DSS are always working towards making this an enjoyable, exciting and interesting time in the students lives.

Thank-you for your recent submissions of options sheets. If for any reason you have not handed in your option sheet to DSS please tell your teacher so that I can get any necessary paperwork to your teacher to pass on to you.

We hope to have you visit soon.

WELCOME GRADE 8's

January is upon us and it is time to look at your pathway for the next year. It seems that you have just settled into Grade 8 and we are already wanting you to decide what your next steps will be. Though it may seem challenging right now , in fact it can be a very smooth transition. We start the option sheet process early with students in order to be able to answer any questions and alleviate any anxiety.
This blog is one way we try to subside any concerns, or even fears about highschool. Highschool can be a very exciting and fun time for everyone involved , especially you. It is a time of new possiblities that are there seeking you out.

Welcome, we will see you here soon.

Please send in any questions or concerns about starting highschool.

P.S. I will be visiting your school again on January 22nd to collect your option sheet.
