SHARED MEMORIES<br />

"Dover Court was not just a<br />

school, it was a community where<br />

everybody was accepted –<br />

children and adults alike. Where<br />

no student was turned away.<br />

One great feature that made<br />

Dover Court unique was that it<br />

opened its doors to all, and in<br />

doing so, it pioneered inclusive<br />

education in an international<br />

setting."<br />

Dr Gail Gladbury, Teacher<br />

1995-1999<br />

"Though it was 30 years ago, I do<br />

have a vivid recollection of my<br />

time at Dover Court. What is most<br />

memorable for me is the very<br />

diverse and inclusive community.<br />

It was my first time meeting so<br />

many people from all over the<br />

world and I remember learning<br />

about the countries my<br />

classmates came from, their<br />

different languages, and their<br />

cultures. My experience at Dover<br />

Court has given me confidence to<br />

embrace new challenges. This has<br />

enabled me to be well-prepared<br />

for all the countries in which I<br />

have had the opportunity to live<br />

and work. Thank you Dover Court<br />

International School. Happy 50th<br />

Birthday!<br />

Young Kim, Doverian 1991-1993<br />

"The emphasis that Dover Court International School places on<br />

championing student voice has helped me develop the skills to navigate<br />

this volatile, uncertain, ambiguous, and complex world with confidence.<br />

Thank you Dover Court International School."<br />

Ishita Pai Raikar, Class of 2022, Doverian 2017-2022<br />

"Having arrived from the UK with my family in August 2019, despite Covid<br />

dominating much of our time here, I feel that it has also brought out the<br />

best in the <strong>DCIS</strong> community. The togetherness, care and resilience of our<br />

students, staff and parents has been overwhelming.<br />

I am proud to be a member of staff at <strong>DCIS</strong>, especially as we celebrate our<br />

50th Anniversary! Also, as a parent to three <strong>DCIS</strong> children, I could not have<br />

wished for a more inclusive, diverse and welcoming school."<br />

David Burren, Deputy Head - Inclusion, Doverian since 2019
