Easter Tuesday 2nd April - School Holiday
|
The school term and holiday dates are usually arranged so that Easter falls within the term 1 school holidays, Easter Tuesday is often overlooked as it is a School holiday, not a statutory holiday.
|
|
However, there are instances, like this year, when Easter falls much earlier than usual outside of term holidays.
|
|
Therefore, in addition to Good Friday (March 29th) and Easter Monday (April 1st), school will be closed on Tuesday, April 2nd,
|
Care For Kids - After School Care Programme
|
Our Care for Kids holiday program will also be closed over the Easter break including Easter Tuesday.
|
|
Thank you for your understanding.

The EPro8 Challenge is an inter-school science and engineering competition. These events are designed to promote science, engineering, and problem-solving.

Teams of 4 compete against one another in various technological and engineering challenges.

This year we had 12 teams participate in our school finals events, with the top 2 placed teams making it through to the next round.
|
|
Congratulations to our top two teams:
|
|
DSS Micro Mechanics (Adrian Partridge, Mac Loveridge, Grace Clark, and Isla Scott)
|
|
DSS 4Engineers (Lauren Kennedy, Curtis Page, Phoenix Ward, and Eli Galloway).
|
Both of these teams will represent David Street School at Morrinsville Intermediate next week, with the aim of making the Semi-final and Grand Final next term.

All teams performed incredibly well and displayed great collaborative and thinking skills. They should all be very proud of their efforts.

Lost Property
|
Each Term we always have extremely large amount of lost property. We do our best to manage and ensure lost property is returned to the owner. Please name your child’s clothing, including towels, togs and goggles. This helps us get items back to where they belong.
|
|
Any lost property not claimed each term is donated to charity.
