Howard Charles Howard, 2nd Baron Howard of Effingham and 1st earl of Nottingham (c. 1536-1624) took advantage of his high birth to sustain a long and distinguished career. He served Queen Mary as Lord High Admiral and Queen Elizabeth as Lord Chamberlain. Charles Howard was the patron of Lord Howard’s Men, later known as The Admiral’s Men, a theatre company in the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. Lord Howard’s Men were generally considered one of the most important acting troupes of English Renaissance theatre. Edward Alleyn, the founder of Dulwich College London is considered one of the greatest actors of Shakespeare’s time was the principal actor for the troupe. Charles Howard held supreme command of Naval Forces when the Armada was destroyed in 1588. In 1596, with Lord Essex, he stormed Cadiz to forestall another Armada. The following year he was created Earl of Nottingham and served as Lord High Steward until 1615. Shackleton One of the greatest explorers of the 20th century, Ernest Shackleton was an inspiring leader who demonstrated selfless regard for those he led. His hairraising expedition to Antarctica in 1915 made this Old Alleynian a legend in his own time. When his ship, the Endurance, was trapped in the polar ice, he led his men to shelter and then sailed out in an open boat (now on display at Dulwich College London) to seek help. He returned to save his comrades two weeks later – a happy ending to a harrowing experience, achieved through sheer grit, ingenuity and determination. Wing Yung Wing was a dedicated educator, a scholar and an ancestor of one of the founding members of Dulwich College Shanghai. Born in Guangdong Province in 1828, he was the first Chinese to receive a university education in America, graduating from Yale University in 1854. Yung entered the Qing Imperial Government service in 1864, and proposed that the government subsidise the education of young Chinese in the west. Between 1874 and 1881, several hundred Chinese youths were sent to U.S. universities. He was also instrumental in establishing one of China’s first modern companies, the China Merchants Steamship Navigation Company – whose 1901 headquarters still stands on Shanghai’s Bund. 31
preparing for the world School Events Speech Day At the end of each academic year, a prize-giving ceremony is held to recognise the achievements and efforts of the students. Awards are presented in each of the five sections of our College Values. Each award winner receives a certificate and a book token. Productions Two major drama productions take place each year. In 2012/13 our senior students produced The Grimm Tales and students in Year 7 to Year 9 took the lead roles in Rock ‘n’ High School. Musical Performances In the Senior School, we have a wealth of talented musicians. There are many large ensembles, chamber groups, rock bands and choirs. Students also study independently through the Instrumental Tuition Programme. Many of our students sit the ABRSM Examinations, here at the College. There are also opportunities for students to showcase their talents, whether this be at assemblies, lunchtime concerts, soirées or scheduled performances. The assessed performances of the students of IGCSE and IB Music are also open to the public. For more details please see the Music Handbook on the College website. Assemblies With over 600 students, it is not straightforward to find a space for whole school assemblies on a regular basis. However, we do hold these for special occasions such as Prefect Investiture, Lunar New Year and the Year 13 Leavers’ Assembly in the Upper Gym. Each week, we hold three assemblies: Tuesdays Years 7-9, Thursdays Years 10-11 and Fridays Years 12-13. These are used to celebrate success, promote school events, mark occasions and reinforce our College Values. 32
