💚 Wellbeing Week at DVS – That’s a Wrap! 💚

What a lovely week we’ve had at DVS! Lots of smiles, laughter, positive energy and a real sense of togetherness around the school.

From Frank Diamond’s inspiring talks on Monday, our First Year wellbeing walk on Tuesday, Tara Rafter’s visit on Wednesday, to the unveiling of our A–Z of DVS on Thursday and our non-uniform day on Friday, it’s been a busy but brilliant week!

We even finished off with a little staff raffle to say thank you to our amazing, hardworking staff who give so much to our school every day. 💚

Our theme this year is BELONG, and this week was a lovely reminder of what makes DVS such a special school community.

A huge thank you to all the staff who helped out, supported the events and went along with the Wellbeing Team’s plans throughout the week. Your kindness, patience and support made it all possible!

And a special thank you to our fantastic Student Wellbeing Team. From planning and organising to setting up, helping out and bringing such great energy to everything, you were absolutely brilliant. So proud of you all! We are so grateful to our Wellbeing Coordinator Ms O’Connor for helping and supporting the Wellbeing Team in organising the week.

Here’s a little look back at the week through some of our favourite photos. Lots of happy faces and lovely moments! 📸

Different styles. Different personalities. One school. We all BELONG at DVS! 💚
