Parents welcome |
Just an early note to parents regarding uniform during CAW – students may wear Year 9 uniform on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are free dress days.
For those who are unsure what Year 9 uniform is: DCC polo sports top, DCC rugby top or sports jacket and DCC tracksuit pants or blue jeans and runners. Given the active program of Creative Arts Week we want students to be warm and comfortable. It is advisable that they bring an old shirt to put over the top of their uniform if they are painting props or backdrops. |
