INTRODUCTION Welcome to this celebration of our school’s incredible fifty-year heritage! It gives me enormous pleasure to introduce this book, which is the result of a fabulous team effort by students of Dover Court. To be Principal at this historic time is a great honour. Dover Court is no ordinary international school. It is a warm, welcoming, inclusive community of families from many nations and cultures, a place that many think of as home. The sense of belonging and the devotion to diversity and kindness is truly special and springs from the collective effort of nearly 2,000 students, 1,300 families and over 300 dedicated staff. The spirit of Dover Court is best experienced in person, as students arrive every morning full of vitality with beaming smiles and cheery greetings for friends and staff. No one can fail to be uplifted and energised by their positivity and warmth. During the day, I like nothing more than visiting students around the campus and listening to stories of what they are up to. As much as this book celebrates the history of a community, it also celebrates the historic campus which has been home to that community for fifty years. From a small collection of converted military buildings, Dover Court has expanded into a modern educational facility, while preserving the original heritage buildings. Dover Court is also home to a wonderful collection of flora and fauna, and we are privileged to be treated every day to sightings of Singapore’s diverse wildlife. That this book has been created by students is a sign of things to come. Over the next fifty years, I see the young people of Dover Court becoming increasingly empowered agents of positive change in the world. This is their time, and in a challenged world, there is great hope in Dover Court students. We have much to look forward to. Richard Dyer <strong>DCIS</strong> Principal, Doverian since 2021
