Did you know?
We have a closed Facebook group for our St John Paul II College and Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School Defence Families. It is aptly named “Defence Families of HSP & JPC”. If you are an ADF family and would like to be a member of our Facebook group, please contact me so I can send you the link. vicki.walsh@cg.catholic.edu.au
DCO Events and activities
DCO are changing their name to DMFS!
On 1 July Defence Community Organisation (DCO) will change their name to Defence Member and Family Support (DMFS) Branch.
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.
