DC Staff Update
22 March 2015
I'm grateful this week for...
...actually quite a lot of things lately, in particular the major events such as the Y8&9 Camps, the Y13 Diploma Art Exhibition (did you take an opportunity to go and see the students' art?), the work put into the ICAS Competitions, the House debating, the MUN and ACAMIS trips, along with a myriad of other activities across the school. Thank you all for your dedication and good humour across the term. I think we are all looking forward to Friday's end-of-term assembly and then a couple of well-deserved weeks holiday.
Alice's adventures
The school is abuzz with anticipation over Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, our primary production running over this coming Wednesday and Thursday. This is going to be another fantastic performance, only made possible by the hard work of Frank, hugely supported by many, many staff and students, both in primary and secondary. Break a leg...
Teachers and Students front and centre
One teacher and two of our students have represented DC in front of large audiences this weekend..
ESF Choral Concert
Michael Burrows and the Primary Cobra Choir made us proud at the biannual ESF Choral Concert on Friday night. Michael had the honour of conducting the opening song. This photo was taken at rehearsal.
ESF Choral Concert
Nicole Lau (Year 13) was the first ever secondary student invited to conduct one of the songs at the ESF Choral Concert. Nicole did an amazing job and had the 850 students eating out of the palm of her hand.
IB Regional Conference
Cherie Ho (Year 10) did a wonderful job of introducing the closing keynote speaker Fizal Rizvi (Professor of Education at Melbourne University) at the IB Regional Conference in Macao.
Staffing
We are interviewing candidates this week for the Head of Drama, 10-month English and MYP/DP Teacher-Librarian positions, and hope to have these wrapped up by Friday.
