Dear DCIS Parents and Guardians,
It was an especially busy weekend for DCIS students. On Friday night Patrick from Year 11 won two awards at the Across Asia Youth Film Festival. His film ‘War Photographer’ was one of 33 films in the final from across Asia. He won Best Drama and Best Special Effects – the film was partly shot at school and the special effects did fool me!
This is the link to Patrick’s film. There is an audience selection prize running this week at www.aayff.com. Please scroll to the bottom to vote.
On Saturday Ms Dodson led our inaugural Gaelic Football team to a bronze medal at the South East Asia Gaelic Games. The team did an brilliant job of transferring their sporting prowess in other sports into something that was brand new to them. Coming out with a medal on their first outing was a tremendous success. Extra special thanks to parent, Janet McSwiney, for coaching the team.
Our Primary FOBISEA Games team are currently away competing and will be back in school on Thursday. They had an extremently successful Day 1 winning 194 medals in the swimming and the Athletics. Frances in 6SO deserves a special mention for clearing a height of 1.35 in the High Jump smashing the U11 FOBISEA record.
Have a great week everyone!
Mr. Christopher Short
Principal
