8 November 2009.  New for 2010.  The College Board has now passed the budget for 2010 and 'learning, leadership and service' will be further developed.  The College's academic program will be expanded, with more tutorials and exam review sessions, new academic literacy and conversation classes, support for postgraduate residents.  These will reinforce our learning goals and strengthen DLC's academic grades which continue to rise over the last six semesters.

4 November 2009.  DLC wins the 2009 Inter-collegiate Sports Trophy!  The men's water polo team added the final points needed to confirm that DLC is the winner of this year's sports trophy between DLC, Robert Menzies College and the Village.  It went down to the final event, but is now secure in DLC's fit hands! See here for the final results.  Resident Tutorships for 2010.
