Celebrating diversity
Dover Court published its first yearbook at the end of the 1974-75
academic year. This tradition has been continued throughout the
school’s history, with a new yearbook every year including artwork,
poetry, short stories created by students, photographs, letters,
achievements, and accounts of events and activities held over the year.
One of the characteristics that the school has prided itself on,
beginning in 1975, was its diversity. Multiple pages have been dedicated
to the United Nations day, and the many nationalities and backgrounds
of students and staff, with people from all over the world, from Great
Britain and Australia to India and the United States, and even students
from Colombia and Peru! Mrs Hamilton wrote that year that she ‘would
like to feel that the general atmosphere at Dover Court is one of mutual
acceptance of each other's individual ideas and customs, and of unity in
our students' affection and pride in their school.’
