At DCB, learning of courses stretches far beyond
the classroom, and academic excellence is not the
only objective our students strive for. When our
students returned onto campus, they were delighted
to have opportunities to engage with a vast array of
ECAs, sports, music and performing arts, visual arts,
and service projects. All three schools also had their
Sports Day with a wide range of sports activities and
residentials across Junior and Senior Schools have also
returned in this last term.
At DCB, we believe that learning is effective when
it’s adapted and applied. In light of that learning
principle, we are now partnered with Amazon Web
Services to bring Artificial Intelligence technologies
into the curriculum to better support students to
apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems.
Looking ahead into the new academic year, DCB
has confirmed three strategic key priorities: Live
Worldwise, Community of Learners, and Learning
Pathways. Under each of these headlines, there is a
number of areas that we intend to focus on next year.
Our IB and IGCSE Visual Arts students put on
amazing exhibitions, displaying their artworks on and
off-campus. In the Chinese New Year celebrations,
spring student concerts, and the recent MADD
Around the World Festival, our students and teachers
put on professional performances and fully expressed
the DCB vibe. The ECA groups came up with creative
ideas for serving the community and promoting
sustainability such as the accessibility lift and the
greenhouse and garden designs.
We look forward to continuing our partnership
with the whole DCB community, working towards
our strategic priorities, to create another year of
exceptional experiences for our students.
