Under the leadership of teachers Tim and Sarah, students have been actively engaged in community service initiatives. Year 12 students have continued their valued partnership with CareNet through a series of “Cook-On” sessions, preparing meals including pasta bolognese, Hokkien noodles, and butter chicken with rice. These meals are collected, frozen, and distributed by CareNet to support local families. A recent visit to CareNet provided students with insight into the impact of their efforts, with a follow-up visit planned next term to assist with food distribution.
Year 10 and 11 students have focused on revitalising the school’s vegetable garden. With support facilitated through Rotary, soil and tools were supplied, and additional funding enabled the purchase of new seedlings. Students have also completed and installed bird boxes from a 2025 project, enhancing the school environment.
Unfortunately, cost-of-living pressures have limited participation in the planned Rotary Sailing Weekend, though this may be revisited later in the year.
Planning is now underway for the DSC High Tea on 31 July, where Interact students will once again host and serve local community leaders, with support from Rotary.
