The Garry Oak area, also known as “the Magic Forest”, at the edge of Doncaster school (at Thistle St) was routinely used during school hours as an outdoor classroom, and outside school hours as a natural playground. In January 2017, the area was closed by the School District for safety reasons, and has not been used since.

We are excited to announce that change is on the way – thanks to the generous support of Patrick J McNally Charitable Foundation! Their donation of $10,395 will fully cover the cost of the arborist work required to tend to the trees and make the area safe for everyone.

In addition, the School District has agreed to take responsibility for maintaining the area once it has been re-opened for school use.

We look forward to having the Magic Forest back!

Hello Doncaster Families,

You are the parent community at Doncaster School and we hope you can attend the meeting on Thursday, February 2nd in the library at 7pm. It is an opportunity for you to hear about what is happening around the school and to ask any questions that you may have.

As usual, we will hear from Principal O’Connor and/or Vice-Principal Paris and we also have two guest speakers attending.  Jessica Shafer will be joining us from CISV Victoria and Lindsay Taylor will be back to update us on the CRD’s Active and Safe Routes to School initiative.

See you there!
