Head of Prep's message

Dear DBS Prep Parents,

Time is flying in the world of DBS, and we have reached the end of week five already! The new student leaders were announced in today's assembly. I speak on behalf of all the staff by saying that we are very proud of everyone who has put themselves forward to take on a new role or responsibility this year. Students have demonstrated the DBS values already in going through this process:
  • courage to put themselves forward
  • integrity in respecting and following the fair and proper process
  • humility by being gracious in both success and defeat
  • generosity in helping others when needed
  • empathy in supporting their friends and peers with kindness
Over the coming weeks and months, we look forward to supporting our new leadership teams to bring their ideas to the table and further improve what we do at DBS.

A huge highlight of this week was the Cool4School workshop on Tuesday. We were delighted to welcome Marcel Pusey for his second visit to DBS, and once again, he had the Araya Hall rocking! Students in Years 3-6 participated in music and dance workshops, which we were lucky to enjoy at the end-of-day performance. Thank you to parents who could join us for the performance and for getting involved in the final song and dance! It was a magical moment having so many people from the DBS community dancing and singing together under one roof! Thank you to Mr Gower and the music department for organising this fantastic opportunity.

Please join us next Wednesday for our Parent Workshop on the theme of well-being. Mr Orton will present alongside our new school councillor, Miss Rubani, and we hope to see you there. We have scheduled the workshop to coincide with the end of the Year 1&2 sports day, so please join us in the D2 BlackBox at 10 a.m. 


Best wishes for a wonderful weekend,

Mary Bridges
