Downlands College, MSC Education today
Downlands Performing Arts PROMS on Saturday 19 October, starting at 5pm on the Downlands Front Lawn. This free event is open to all Downlands families, friends, and the local community. Come and be dazzled by our talented performing arts students as they showcase their passion, from dance troupes and instrumental ensembles to various choir groups.
Did you know that each week, our Downlands students volunteer to make and serve breakfast for the students at a school in our neighbourhood? It’s a small act of kindness that goes a long way in building up community beyond the Downlands gates. We are proud of our students for their dedication and for being ‘good shepherds’ to the younger students in our community.
We're proud to be a sponsor and the host of Mates on Mats – A Mindful Movement Marathon for Mental Health. Join us from 26-27 October at our Jules Hall for 24 hours of mindful movement in the form of yoga.
Our Year 11 student, Lori, recently explored the realm of science at the SPARQ-ed Immersion Program. This biomedical educational initiative is designed for school students and is a partnership between the Department of Education and the Translational Research Institute.
Starting with skills training and a workshop, Lori and her peers delved into two captivating assays: EGF and Tfn uptake, along with Immunofluorescence staining in the following workshop days. The highlight of the experience? A visit to the TRI Core Facilities, where the students got to see the impressive results of their efforts.
The Downlands Dance Showcase is an event that marks the end of an entire year of dance performances and competitions. You will get to witness the extraordinary talent and hard work of our Prep to Year 12 Dance Troupes, Secondary Curriculum dance items, and some of the most talented student soloists.
