The College Shanghai - Dulwich College Shanghai

Friends of Dulwich
Partnering with Parents
FoD activities this term included contributions to school activities,
Career Day and a visit to the Mercedes Benz Arena.
Much has been going on with Friends of Dulwich (FoD)
around the school this term: monthly coffee mornings have
brought in presentations from health professionals across
Shanghai, and parents have also helped with numerous
in-school activities. These include cleaning out the lostand-found
cupboards, making and creating hundreds
of gorgeous costumes for the shows, assisting in reading
programmes, adding helping hands to the Art Department
and finalizing the backdrop and filming for the D’Oscars
extravaganza in the Junior School.
We have also finalized our donations to charities from our
Winter Fair earnings. Sizeable donations will be going
to Heart to Heart, Home Sweet Home, the continuing
employment of a wonderful Music Department staff
member from Home Sweet Home, the Art
Department and several new items within
the facilities at DCS and DUCKS.
Dulwich community parents helped make
Career Day an enormous success. Parents
from every profession joined forces to bring their ideas,
regrets, advice and their knowledge to our students. The
enthusiasm and volunteer spirit of the participating parents
really made the day a standout; one we look forward to
repeating.
Friends of Dulwich contributed significantly to the
amazing visit to the Mercedes Benz Arena for the Year 9
and 10 students. As the bus pulled up to the Arena, the
students were thrilled to see our school name in lights!
The managers and promoters of the Arena spent the
entire morning speaking to the students, encouraging
them, touring them around the facility
and entertaining them as if they were
VIPs. Friends of Dulwich hopes that
this magnificent relationship with the
Arena and its staff continue and further
develops into a beneficial partnership for
both the school and the business.
A sincere thank you to all the parents
who have given so generously of their
time and talent this term.

Book Delivery Project
A special thanks to Friends of Dulwich who donated 50 boxes of books – three years’ worth of unsellable Winter Fair items.
Thanks to the collaborative efforts of teachers from Junior and Senior School, the books found good homes: Chinese
books were donated to Home Sweet Home and the Josephine Charles Foundation; German books, some of which were
rare, went to the German School Shanghai, while the rest found that their way to Nepal, India, Malawi and South Africa.
