Dr Maureen Roach<br />
Dr Roach served as the Principal of Dover Court<br />
from 1990-2015. Her main objective was to<br />
ensure that the needs of children of all abilities<br />
were met, leading her to contribute to the<br />
direction of the Department of Supportive<br />
Education, which was expanded during this<br />
time. Dr Roach's legacy is the inclusivity of the<br />
school and its welcoming community identity.<br />
Even though the school has grown, inclusion is<br />
still at heart of everything we do.<br />

Growth through the years<br />
Dover Court quickly became one of the largest expatriate preparatory<br />
schools in Singapore, leading it to its expansion in the 1980s to keep up<br />
with the demand. Around this time, due to its growing waitlist, the school<br />
built the Ernest Alliot Foundation Block, a three-storey building now<br />
known as C Block. The building projects only increased from there! By 1998,<br />
in addition to the original military barracks and small pre-existing<br />
buildings, the administrative block, Cooper Hall, the main library, the infant<br />
block, the Inclusive Education area and the swimming complex had been<br />
added to the campus.
