"Being at <strong>DCIS</strong> for so long, I have had the privilege of seeing the school<br />
grow and evolve over time. Despite its growth, the community still feels<br />
welcoming, and I still find events such as UN day or the Christmas Fair so<br />
exciting. I have met people who I am still in contact with many years later,<br />
and know people now I will continue to be in contact with in the future."<br />
Ines Oliveira, Year 11, Doverian since 2011<br />
"The school is like a mini-United<br />
Nations, with students from<br />
every possible creed, a multitude<br />
of habits, cultures, and customs<br />
have come together - and all in<br />
complete harmony. Perhaps<br />
there's a lesson here for the<br />
politicians. If the UN could<br />
conduct itself as peacefully as<br />
<strong>DCIS</strong> students, wars will cease to<br />
exist."<br />
James Watkins, Principal<br />
1981-1990<br />
"I’ll always remember when I first<br />
joined Dover Court. The year was<br />
2011, and my first teacher was Miss<br />
Tess, who is still teaching at the<br />
school today. Despite all the<br />
changes over the years, Dover has<br />
kept one thing the same: our<br />
community. The students and<br />
teachers are a group of supportive,<br />
inclusive people."<br />

"As a member of staff at <strong>DCIS</strong> for the past 12 years, it is with great pride<br />
that I am part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations of our amazing school<br />
(especially when I remember celebrating our 40th anniversary!). What I<br />
have loved, and continue to love, about <strong>DCIS</strong> is the heart and soul of the<br />
community, which has not changed over the years. Whilst we have grown,<br />
in both size, and stature, the unwavering commitment from our staff to<br />
provide the best possible learning experiences has been a constant.<br />
I feel extremely proud to work for Dover Court, a unique international<br />
school with a passion for inclusion like no other, and to have been part of<br />
the leadership team responsible for the successes we are experiencing,<br />
with year-on-year improvements in student outcomes in both GCSE and<br />
IB. On a personal level, I have many colleagues who are now like my family<br />
away from home who I know will always be a part of my life, even after we<br />
part ways from Dover Court."<br />
Carla Hyland, Deputy Head of Secondary, Doverian since 2011
