14.01.2022 Hello DSODE! Unfortunately due to the ongoing restrictions regarding overnight school camps and excursions, we cannot hold our onsite Residentials for Year 7-12 as planned in Term 3. We're just as disappointed as you are!! As an alternative, we are holding another Virtual Residential in Week 7 of Term 3 - Spring Theory! If you're interested in 3D printing, like building and making things or you would like to gain some nationally recognised qualifications to add to your resume, then you will love what's on offer in Week 7! Students in Year 7-12 are asked to register their interest in participating with their Student Adviser. We're looking forward to 'seeing' you online in Week 7! Miss Morgan & Mrs White (Residential Co-ordinators)

13.01.2022 Congratulations to our Year 12 Music 1 student Jorja Dalton for getting through to Phase 2 of the Talent Development Project. The TDP helps develop and cultivate the extraordinary musical talent of students. Every year up to 80 public school students from around New South Wales are selected to take part in this unique program. ... Students participate in monthly master class workshops, conducted by industry experts throughout the year. Numbers are reduced each phase until only those ready to begin a career in show business remain. Her teacher Lenore Braithwaite says, Jorja is a wonderful hard working student and an extremely talented vocalist who deserves this fantastic opportunity. She will gain invaluable experience being able to work with professionals in the entertainment industry who will give her guidance and advice. It has been very rewarding seeing her grow as a musician throughout the last two years at DSODE. We wish Jorja all the very best for this phase and look forward to seeing her success in the future.
