A bilingual education can do wonders. It helps your child develop wider, more diverse perspectives – and grow into a confident citizen of the world.

We also create rich, nurturing learning environments – and involve the community wherever we can.

After we have received the signed enrolment agreement and the deposit, we will send you a written confirmation of place.
Moving from kindergarten to primary school is a big change for your child. That is why we hold three Foundation Year Transition Days in October/November, before your child starts at DSM.
Your child will attend a Foundation Year class once a week for three weeks. Each time, they will have a ‘Buddy’ who is a current Foundation Year student. We recommend that your child attends all three days so they can get to know our school, their teachers and their future classmates.
You can also support your child’s transition by talking about positive primary school experiences at home.
If your child is joining DSM at a higher year level or after the school year starts, they will attend an induction meeting with their class teacher prior to their first day of school.
We host multiple Open Days throughout the year. These give your family a special opportunity to learn more about our curriculum, teaching team and learning environment. You will also meet members of our parent community over a delicious morning tea.
To attend one of our Open Days, please register online.
You can also call us on +61 3 9489 9364 or send an email with your contact details and your child’s name and birth date to Stefanie Dietrich.
If you can’t make it to one of our Open Days, we’d be happy to arrange a private school tour.
