The student star of the year goes to the students who have acquired a Queensland Certificate of Education and have lead by example.

Congratulations to the 9 students who have become role models for the rest of the Senior School students to follow in 2011. From little things big things grow.

Staff Star of the year - senior school!

The Staff Star of the year goes to the entire Senior School staff who have worked so hard and diligently this year to ensure a successful year for the students. In 2009 the Senior School recorded 2 QCE results along & many pleasing VET course completions. It gives us great pleasure to announce that in 2010 the Senior School staff have enabled the QCE results to dramatically improve to a new high of 5 in 2010 with another 4 to be completed by the end of year. The school can look forward to double figures in 2011 from the current year 11 ranks. Thanks to all the senior academic and VET staff who have made this possible over the course of the year; Aisea, Amy, Emma, Georgie, Mathew, Manjit, Richard, Vimal, Tekoa, Aunty Mary, Jade, Liz, Rhonda, Jenny, Brea, Sam, Mapa, Leanne, Linda, Cate, Estelle, Gracie, Harry, Joe, Joe Coco, Mike, Memory, Mbongeleni, Peggy, Reese, Rob McBride, Rob Hodge, Rod, Rosemary, Rudra, Tony Mogan, Tony Epseg, Virgil, Frankie, Monica & Mr Warren!

This has been a super successful year for the senior school that has seen a dramatic increase in stability and is highlighted by the fact that the senior school students recorded a total of almost 300 QCE points from English, Maths & Science alone. 2011 can only get better.

Annie Strikes Gold

Congratulations to Annie Mabo who is one of the leading TAVE students at DC. She recently acquired a QCE by completing her courses in 2010.

Annie is an excellent touch football player and coach. She has completed a certificate III in Health and Nursing that are worth maximum points each along with a number of other completions that include:

BSB20101 - Cert II Business - 1 Credit

Cert III Children's Services - 8 credits
Cert III Health Services Assistance - 8 credits
English Communication - 4 credits
Prevocational Maths - 4 credits
Religion and Ethics - 4 credits

We wish Annie all the best for her future and is a great example of what happens when you put your best foot forward and complete courses in the TAVE year.

Student star of the term is Judith Carney

The student star of the term is Judith Carney who is the first year 12 student to complete all of her work. This comes on the back of being a good mother to Reeko, while setting an outstanding example about how to acquire and education with competing interests. Judith’s greatest asset is her deep reflective thinking and an analytical mind that is complimented by her strong will and determination. It is interesting to note that everyone loves Reeko, and from what I observe, he exudes a great deal of his mother’s delightful and insightful nature. Perhaps this is the start of a new dynasty where children like Reeko follow in their parents footsteps by acquiring an education and a successful career as a result. Judith is seen here wearing the new senior school shirt for 2010.

Everyone in the school loves Reeko and everyone loves what Judith has achieved.
