Introducing the Oisin Arts Fund

4/11/2026

Dear Dovercourt Community,

We are pleased to share a meaningful opportunity to come together as a school community to honour the memory of Oisin, a beloved Dovercourt student who passed away in 2022.

In partnership with the family and our School Advisory Council (SAC), Dovercourt is establishing the Oisin Arts Fund, which will support arts-based initiatives that enrich student learning and well-being. This year, funds raised will help bring a special theatre production, The Last Voyage of the Good Ship Talos, to our school this April. Created in collaboration with Soulpepper, this interactive performance explores themes of connection, resilience, and the environment, and offers students a thoughtful and creative space for reflection.

This production holds a special connection to our community, as the main character, Oisin, was named in honour of our own student.  It is our hope that this experience will be both meaningful and inspiring for our students, while also celebrating Oisin’s memory in a way that reflects the creativity and spirit he brought to our school.

We invite families who are able to contribute to the Oisin Arts Fund. (See instructions below.) Donations of any amount are appreciated and will go directly toward supporting this initiative and future arts opportunities at Dovercourt.

Thank you for your continued care, generosity, and commitment to our school community.

  1. Go to School Cash Online donation website.
  2. Scroll to the bottom.
  3. Select Amount. 
  4. Select School: Dovercourt.
  5. Leave Initiative as GENERAL.
