19.01.2022 Science skills were in full swing on Friday 6 March as eight students from Year Six competed in the Dianella Secondary College Science Quest competition. There were lots of hands on science learning and friendly competition as the two teams spent the day competing against fifteen other teams and working their way through four science challenges in engineering, forensic science, chemistry and geology. Our students lived up to our school motto Soaring to new heights in exc...ellence through unity as they showed impressive team cooperation skills to achieve these impressive results. Well done and congratulations to Alika A, Jasmin K, Ethan L, Benjamin W (second prize) and Ravneet S, Perry W, Ethan N, and Annika W (First prize). A big thank you too to Mr Taylor for organising the day. Mr Paterson See more

14.01.2022 Message from the School Board As Chairman of the School Board, I want to acknowledge and give our sincere thanks to the tremendous effort being made by teachers, principals, and office staff. What an amazing team you all are! As we all try to navigate this surreal/crazy/scary time within our own homes, here you all are trying to look after your own families, as well as contributing to the learning, well-being and mental state of our children as well. ... Setting up a remote learning system is a mammoth task. So many student considerations: technical, emotional, physical and the time and effort to get something like that up and running. DHPS staff, we are eternally grateful to Every single one of you. The extraordinary effort you are all going to for our children is incredible. With love and thanks, Lorinda Mortimer, the DHPS Board and school community.

09.01.2022 This term, during our studies of chemical science, several classes have been learning about the three states of matter and the properties of each state. The focus of this activity was to apply what they have learned about the properties of a gas to make a film canister launch into the air. There was quite a bit of excitement. Thank you to those students who volunteered to talk to camera about what they had learned. You did a great job! Mr. Paterson... Science specialist See more

08.01.2022 P&C ECE PLAYGROUND FUNDRAISER We are aiming to raise $5000 for this fundraiser. With many of the normal P&C fundraising opportunities not available at present and perhaps not available for the rest of the year, I implore you to give as much as you can as this will likely be our major fundraiser for the year.... This exciting 4 phase project is going to deliver heaps: A wondrous cubby house A sensational sensory walkway A fantastic fairy garden More space for the ECE students by moving a fence outwards PLUS If we reach our goal, this will open up the school to fund either: An outdoor fitness circuit OR More equipment for the main playground So this is a win-win with both the ECE and also the older students both benefiting from achieving this fundraiser. Here is the link to click on, donate and share far and wide! Thank you Richard - P&C President https://www.gofundme.com/f/dianella-heights-ps-ece-playgrou

01.01.2022 IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR ALL WA SCHOOLS - PLEASE SHARE. WA schools have now been back for almost three weeks. Over that time, weve seen a steady increase in attend...ance, with an average of 85.6% of students in attendance at WA public schools yesterday. Id like to thank all of our principals, teachers, school staff, cleaners, gardeners, parents, carers and students for making the return to school such a success so far. At the start of term we opted for a soft opening of WA public schools so parents who felt comfortable with their kids returning could do so but those who had concerns could choose to keep their kids home. At that time, we flagged that WA school arrangements would be reassessed after three weeks. Today Im able to provide an update that will apply to all WA schools going forward. As of next Monday, 18 May, all Western Australian school students will be required to return to school. This decision has the full support of all stakeholders in the education sector, and our health experts. There are exceptions for students who are medically vulnerable or those who have a family member with chronic health issues, who will be assessed and can continue to learn from home and will be supported by their schools and the Department of Education. But from Monday, students who remain away from school without good reason, will no longer be provided with learning packages and their absence will be marked as unauthorised. Based on health advice, students in residential facilities will be now permitted to return home at weekends, at the discretion of the principal or manager. Through the State Governments $43 million additional investment, strict environmental cleaning throughout the school day, including high-touch surfaces and playground equipment will continue at public schools, as will reinforced hygiene measures. Drop off and pick up arrangements that restrict parents and carers, and non-essential visitors, from entering school grounds remain in place. Individual schools will provide further information to their parents and carers on how each school will manage these changes. At this stage, certain activities such as assemblies, camps and inter-school events remain prohibited. Going forward, any further changes for schools will be considered in line with the WA roadmap for easing COVID-19 restrictions in our State. As always, State Government decisions will be based on the best health advice. Thank you again for your cooperation and understanding as we navigate this together.

01.01.2022 What an amazing morning, with staff and students having the privilege to learn from legend John Coutis about resilience and making the most of every opportunity. Thank you for inspiring us, John.
