Last week, we recognised the International Day of Families, observed on 15 May.

Families come in many forms and can include those we live with, those who care for us, friends, pets, or anyone who plays an important role in our lives. As part of WorldWise Living, our Senior School students created handprint artwork to represent their own sense of family and community.

One of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 11, focuses on building safe, inclusive, and connected communities. Each artwork reflects a unique story, reminding us that there is no single way to define a family, and that every family is valued and celebrated.

The artworks are now displayed on 4F between the Senior School office and the Alleyn Theatre.

Our Student Council enjoyed an unforgettable afternoon of teamwork, creativity and adventure during their Enchanted Quest Adventure! Following a magical storytelling session led by Miss Goddard and Mr Harvey, students worked together to solve clues, complete exciting challenges and uncover hidden treasures across the College grounds.

From exploring the Fairy Garden to building LEGO swords and cracking secret codes hidden within the Enchanted Forest, the afternoon was filled with laughter, imagination and collaboration. After successfully completing nine magical challenges, students celebrated their adventure with a well-earned Crown Cupcake together.

On Wednesday, our Year 3 to Year 6 students enjoyed an exciting Junior School Sports Day at Gwacheon Stadium, one of the highlights of the sporting calendar each year. Throughout the day, students took part in a variety of running, jumping and throwing events, showing fantastic teamwork, determination and House spirit.

With parents cheering from the sidelines and students proudly representing their Houses in their House colours, the day was a wonderful celebration of participation, perseverance and community spirit.

Last Saturday, the Art Department was delighted to host a Sip & Paint afternoon in collaboration with Friends of Dulwich. Inspired by a floral theme and the beauty of spring, parents created a vibrant range of artworks influenced by artists including Yayoi Kusama, Gustav Klimt and Lynsay Green.

It was wonderful to welcome parents into our creative spaces and see such enthusiastic engagement throughout the afternoon. The event beautifully captured the spirit of creativity, connection and community at Dulwich College Seoul.

Our Year 12 IB Chinese students recently stepped beyond the classroom and into a real Chinese restaurant as part of their food and dining culture unit.

From ordering dishes and making payments in Mandarin to exploring Chinese dining culture, students had the opportunity to use their language skills in a real-world setting. Before the visit, students also created their own Chinese menus using Chinese characters.

It was wonderful to see students building confidence and bringing their classroom learning to life through authentic experiences.

We are delighted to celebrate Jeo Kim (Year 6), who achieved 4th place in the Junior Team Division at the Spring Debate Get Together held on 25 April 2026.

In addition to this impressive team achievement, Jeo was also awarded the Best Speaker Award in recognition of an outstanding individual performance throughout the competition.

Congratulations to Jeo on this fantastic achievement. We look forward to supporting continued growth as a confident communicator, critical thinker and learner.
