🎹 Piano Paws is back!

Our much-loved Piano Paws initiative gives Secondary students an informal lunchtime stage to share their talents, build confidence and perform in a supportive environment. Alongside Open Mic and Primary lunchtime performances, it is one of many ways for students to share their love of music with the wider school community.

Our first Piano Paws session of the 2026-27 academic year featured a wonderful range of performances, from Emer (Year 10) bringing the magic of Joe Hisaishi's Porco Rosso, to Andre (Year 11) performing Katherine Fisher's Chinese Lanterns, and Hayden (Year 13) showcasing the energy and virtuosity of Kapustin's Prelude No. 23.

A huge well done to all three performers for sharing their musical talents. Opportunities like Piano Paws help nurture creativity, confidence and a lifelong love of the arts while reminding us of the incredible talents our students bring to school every day. πŸŽΆπŸ‘

"Students learn by listening to the teacher"

Do children learn best by sitting quietly and listening? In our final Early Years Myths Explained video, Ben Coles explains why play is such a powerful driver of learning in the early years.

At NEST, teachers carefully design environments and experiences that allow children to explore, question and discover, helping learning feel meaningful and memorable.

Planning for university can feel both exciting and overwhelming, but the right conversations can make all the difference.

The Lion City University Fair returns to Dover Court on 22 September, giving students in Years 9-13 the opportunity to connect with representatives from more than 180 universities worldwide, right here on campus.

To help students make the most of the experience, our Careers and Higher Education Counsellors, Hani Rahman and Andrew O'Reilly, have shared practical advice on preparing for the fair, engaging with university representatives and navigating the application process with confidence.

Whether students already have a destination in mind or are just beginning to explore their options, this guide offers valuable insights for every stage of the journey.

"How do I know if my child is doing well at school?"

Academic progress is important, but it is only one part of a child's development. A child's progress can also be seen in the questions they ask, the confidence they build, the challenges they overcome and the growth they make over time.

At Dover Court, regular communication between home and school helps families stay connected to both the outcomes and the journey behind them.

Did you know a nature walk can inspire scientific inquiry, creativity, language development and problem-solving all in one morning? πŸŒΏπŸ”

Recently, our Early Years children explored the park, collecting natural treasures, observing wildlife, examining objects under microscopes and transforming berries into artwork.
While children's curiosity leads the way, our expert Early Years educators carefully guide the experience, extending thinking through thoughtful questions, meaningful discussions and hands-on exploration.

Through our NEST (Nurturing Early Success Together) programme, children from Nursery to Year 2 learn through play, exploration and real-world experiences. By carefully observing children's interests and asking thoughtful questions, our teachers help turn moments of curiosity into powerful learning opportunities.

"Students learn best when sat at desks"

Learning doesn't only happen at a desk. At NEST, our learning environments are designed to spark curiosity, creativity and discovery. From our indoor and outdoor atelier spaces to learning experiences in the local park, children learn through exploration, play and meaningful experiences every day.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, we see the environment as an important part of the learning process, offering children opportunities to investigate, create and make connections with the world around them.

Behind so many of the events, celebrations and opportunities that make Dover Court special is an incredible community of parent volunteers.

Research shows that when families are actively engaged in school communities, students experience a greater sense of belonging, wellbeing and connection. Through the Dover Court Association (DCA), parents play an important role in helping to create those experiences for our students and families.

Our latest blog explores how the DCA brings people together, supports school life and strengthens our community.

If you'd like to learn more about getting involved and hear about the plans ahead, join us at the DCA Annual General Meeting on 17th September. Whether you're a long-time volunteer or simply curious about how you can contribute, we'd love to see you there.

"What questions should parents ask to really understand what a school values?"

When visiting schools, parents often ask about academics, facilities and results. Dover Court Teacher Matthew Joyes suggests also asking what a typical school day looks like for children and what the school chooses to celebrate beyond the classroom.

The answer can tell you a lot about a school's culture and values.

Curious what that looks like at Dover Court? Join us at our NEST Open House on 26 September and ask our educators your questions in person. πŸ‘‰ Register now: https://www.nordangliaeducation.com/dcis-singapore/open-day
