Lost Property - Secondary Students

It’s time to play detective and track down those missing jackets, water bottles, and PE kits! Over the next two and a half weeks, your Learning Team will be reminded, or take you all down, to the locker near the security office to help you reclaim your lost property.

Before you go, take a moment to label all your gear; it’s the only way to make sure your items find its way back to you if it wanders off again.

Once we hit the Spring/Easter break deadline (27th March), any unclaimed "treasures" will be donated or cleared out, so let's get your belongings back where they belong!

Launch of the DC

We are excited to share our new school video with you. This short film captures the essence and spirit of Discovery College and celebrates the journey our students embark upon from Year 1 through to Year 13 and the community that supports them along the way.

 

In this video, you'll see powerful moments of inspiration and discovery that spark our students' passion and fuel their journey to Grow, Discover, and Dream at Discovery College. 

 

We are grateful to everyone who helped bring this video to life and we hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

 

Watch the video here.
