Defence
As the tempo starts to pick up around Gallipoli Barracks and exercises, operational duties, training courses and even deployments are again in full swing, please don’t forget to either let your child’s classroom teacher or myself know of any parental absences so we can support your child at school and check in with them when needed. Parental absences and changes at home, coupled with assessment time at school can weigh heavily on children.
We are changing our name
On 1 July Defence Community Organisation (DCO) will change their name to Defence Member and Family Support (DMFS).
The new name reflects their vision, what they do and who they do it for. While their name is changing, there will be no changes to the services or programs offered to ADF members and their families.
