DCIS Heritage Book

"It was an absolute privilege being the Headteacher of DCIS from 2018-
2022. I could not have been prouder to lead such a wonderfully inclusive
community. Reflecting on my fondest memories; from my daily meetings
with Joseph in Pathway 3 where he questioned me on my vision and
strategy, quite critically I might add; to building and moving into a new
Secondary School; watching our students win big at the FOBISIA games in
Phuket; or navigating the COVID-19 pandemic as a united school.
If DCIS does nothing more (which of course it does), by its very nature, it
teaches each of us to heed the advice of a great character from one of my
favourite books, Atticus Finch; "You never really understand a person until
you consider things from their point of view". This is at the heart of what
DCIS is, does and stands for and I hope that our inclusivity, our
intercultural community and the value we add, drives and motivates our
work in the next 50 years."
Craig Bull, Head of Secondary 2018-2022
"Although we only spent three years at DCIS
we made friends and memories for life. It
brought out the very best in us and taught
us teamwork, respect, resilience,
perseverance and humility. We will always
treasure our time at Dover Court!"
Ella and Edward Jarl, Doverians 2013-
2016
"If I could wave a wand and make society behave ‘properly’ then it would
mirror the playground of Dover Court Preparatory School, where I worked
from 2012-2015. Children of all ages, abilities and individual needs playing
together harmoniously, looking after each other, laughing and enjoying
the sultry heat of a Singapore morning or lunchtime. Some extremely
valuable global lessons to be learned from observations of children at play.
I felt as though the true purpose of education, the education of students
for life beyond school, was being met. Values such as tolerance, resilience,
kindness and compassion were evident in daily practice. "
Louise Loxton, Teacher 2012-2015
