21.01.2022 We have some AWESOME school captains here at Donvale! This week, Bani, Lucas, Riley and Emily took time out of their busy schedules to visit our F-4 classes via Webex.

Here are some of the fantastic creations!

Their letters were sent to the Alfred Hospital and were warmly received. We are so proud of all the work our 1/2 students put into writing and presenting their beautiful letters.

14.01.2022 BOOK WEEK - This week we are celebrating book week. Today the 1/2 students listened to a shortlisted story called ‘One Runaway Rabbit’ by David Metzenthen. After reading, they were given the opportunity to make sock bunny rabbits as a fun craft task. We saw lots of really cute and creative bunnies!
