Welcome back to term 3 everyone, hope everyone had a great break even though we were interrupted with a snap lockdown.  

I used that time for some cupboard clean outs and I'm still going....maybe I should have just stuck with one cupboard!! 

Just a reminder that Zita and I are available everyday at school and you can catch us at the breakfast program on Tuesdays and Thursdays and some Fridays for a chat or catch up. 

Also our defence activity on Wednesdays at morning tea for the students will continue so keep reminding your children to come along for some fun.

We are changing our name!

On 1 July we will change our name from Defence Community Organisation (DCO) to Defence Member and Family Support (DMFS).

Our new name reflects our vision, what we do and who we do it for. While we are changing our name, there will be no changes to any of the services or programs offered to ADF members and their families.
