Christmas Fayre
Gift shopping, bouncy castle, dunk tank, wet sponge toss, photo booth and delicious treats sum up a fantastic day
There was so much fun to be had at the fair on Saturday with something for everyone! The turnout was fantastic with many staying until 7pm. The bouncy castle was a huge hit as well as the dunk tank. Thanks to Ms Good for being one of the first to“ test” the dunk tank and also to Mr Short who bravely volunteered for the Cubs sponge throwing game!
There were some delicious cakes and treats on sale in the canteen as well as some mulled wine and mince pies in the Cooper Hall to accompany the gift shopping. The class stalls were busy all afternoon with children enjoying the great variety of games on offer.
Thank you to everyone who came, to all the class reps and parents who organised stalls, to Leandra and Centre Stage for performing, to our 2 volunteer Santas who are now the stars of many photos, to our vendors who supported us, to Jaime Brown, Alex Johnstone, Dave Bradshaw and Adrian Jauk who all helped to create the artwork and music and to the DCA Christmas committee for their hard work in pulling it all together.
Merry Christmas everyone!! Kind regards, The DCA Parent Association
Dover’ s Got Talent
( and you do too!)
Could you be the next big thing? Year 3 students and upwards are invited to be ambitious and show off their talents!
DCIS is full of talent and we are really excited to launch Dover’ s Got Talent, our brand new platform for students to share their talents. This project will launch in January, so students have time over the holiday to choose their performance and practise their act.
The contest is open to all students from Year 3 upwards. Talents can include – but are not limited to – singing, dancing, gymnastics, acting, comedy sketch, magic tricks or playing a musical instrument. See below for more details.
Please note the following regarding auditions:
Students must be Year 3 upwards.
Each act should not exceed three minutes in length.
Students may wear a costume but it should reflect our school’ s dress code. Please refer to our Parent Handbook and Student Code of Conduct for further details.

Students should have their music available on USB or burned to a CD, and ready at the time of audition.
Singers may not lip-sync or sing along with a recorded voice – please use karaoke style voiceless tracks only.
Students may audition for only one act.
Unfortunately parents are not allowed for the first round of auditions but are welcome to attend the final performance.
Timeline:
The first round of auditions will be held next term on Friday January 13th within class.
Each class will vote for their two representatives and these students will go forward to Round 2. In Round 2, students will be invited to record their performance in our TV studio. The recordings will be completed by the end of January.
These videos will then be shared and available for viewing and voting. The final winners will be announced on Friday 10th February and they will get to perform at a celebration assembly on March 3rd. Their recording will be shared and displayed on our TV screens around the school.
We encourage all students to get involved and we really look forward to celebrating the many talents we have right here at DCIS.
