It has been a pleasure to work in the community alongside the Worshipful the Mayor of Dartford and the Lady Mayoress over the past year. Thank you for all your support and congratulations on raising over £16,000 for your chosen local charities. Good Luck from us all at DSTC.

Today we said goodbye to our amazing receptionist Paula Tivey who leaves us after 5 years in post. She will be a big loss to the school and especially her team of student receptionists. We wish her the best of luck in her new position.

Thank you to all visitors to DSTC this term. Without exception you have given us such positive feedback. We are now on a 2 week break but when we return we have our Post 16 open event on Tuesday 13th November where we hope to see you again.

DSTC Community Day 2018 was formally celebrated last week where a number of charities received money raised by our girls. It was a pleasure to have the worshipful the Mayor of Dartford, Town Mayor Cllr Anita Barham and the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Kent attend.

2018 DSTC Community Day was another resounding success. We are so pleased to have been able to help local charities and community groups. I was personally delighted to meet the Lord-Lieutenant of Kent and Lady De L'Isle who where suitably impressed with the girls work. Well done.

DSTC has Talent - it's official. Tonight saw the first ever talent contest supported by singers and dancers and organised by our Year 10 Music students. All 9 finalists did well and the judges took a long time to agree but our overall winner for 2018 was the superb Renee Plumb.

Due to the unprecedented hot weather, we have decided to postpone the Race for Life run today. We have to ensure the safety of the DSTC community above all else and so we will let you know of a revised day, most likely Thursday. Details to follow.

I would like to congratulate our newly qualified teacher Katherine Barnarte on her recent success at the Tang Soo Do Association (Karate) WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS where she came 1st in 3 categories and is now Adult Female World Grand Champion. An inspirational and amazing achievement.

I am pleased to report that our group of adventurers are having an amazing time in Kenya and have been put to good use in local villages. They have experienced wide ranging skills from bush craft to water hole maintenance! They move from Tsavo to the Ocean Camp today.

Mr Dix and a group of DSTC girls are appearing on The Community Show on Channel Radio between 10am and 11am today. They will be talking about our annual community day which is on Wednesday 18th July. We invite you to listen in.

Wishing Mrs Baron and the 5 girls off to Kenya with Camps International the very best of luck. We know this is a fantastic adventure for them and the work they will do whilst there is so welcome by the local community.

Congratulations to the 2 Year 7 students who have gained over 400 reward points this year and had a lovely lunch with me today. Well done to Babikshana and Rithicaa.

[Anne Davis @Principal_DSTC]

Today we were very fortunate to have Dr Zoe Laughlin in from the Institute of Making to talk our Year 8 students about materials and how we use them. This was a timely event with International Women in Engineering day having just been celebrated on 23/06/18.

[Anne Davis @Principal_DSTC]

I would like to wish all students taking examinations over the coming weeks the very best of luck. Most of the hard work has been done, you can do it on the day just relax into it. Eat, sleep, revise, repeat.... Best wishes from Mrs Davis.

What a fantastic weekend to take our Year 7 students on the annual #bushcraft weekend. The girls came back to DSTC having learnt some new basic survival skills and with a healthy glow from being outdoors. Well done to all who went.

[Anne Davis @Principal_DSTC]

We were delighted to welcome Chief Constable Alan Pughsley from #kentpolice and his team for a careers talk at #DSTC yesterday. The girls found It was both informative and inspirational in equal measure.

[Anne Davis @Principal_DSTC]

What a fantastic way to end the term. Our inaugural Spring Fair, that has been organised by our Business Studies students, is in full swing and has been a joy to visit. They are donating proceeds to Barnardos and having fun in the process. Well done to all involved.

[Anne Davis @Principal_DSTC]

Yet again our sporting success is something to celebrate. Today the Year 7 and Year 8 students became Borough Gymnastic Champions. I could not be prouder of these wonderful teams. Well done to everyone who took part and for the staff for their support and encouragement.
