FoD
Friends of Dulwich (FoD) is a volunteer parent organisation that provides a focal point for the school
community. It serves as a fund raising vehicle for agreed charities, in addition to fund raising for
selected school community events and projects.
Through class representatives they facilitate the communication between class teachers and parents
in relation to volunteers for classroom or special events. The class representatives also facilitate the
social interaction among families in the school community. All parents are automatically members.
Activities include Parent-Teacher Socials, Daddy-Daughter Dance, Father-Son sporting events,
The Winter Fair, The International Food Fair, Teacher appreciation activities, Health and Nutrition
Committee, Scholastic Books, Farmers markets, flea markets. In addition FoD collaborates with the
school to support productions and assist with sporting events. Monthly Coffee Mornings feature
guest speakers and vendors.
The FoD weekly newsletter provides up to date information on upcoming activities as well as a
link to the College local events board and community forum, on the College website, which allows
parents an opportunity to exchange information.
FoD offers support for new families to assist them in having a smooth transition to both DCS and
Shanghai.
The FoD committee meets monthly. If parents are interested in getting more involved or have any
questions they should email fod@dulwich-shanghai.cn.
Committees and Working Parties
The College is committed to working in partnership with the parent body to foster a sense of
community spirit. It recognises that input from representative samples of parents alongside that
of students and staff on key issues will help to ensure that communication is open and transparent
and that decisions have been made following due stakeholder representation. To this end interested
parents may be invited to join College working parties or committees as appropriate and upon
approval of the Headmaster.
