Guiding Statement Report 2022-23

Sustainability and Global Citizenship are also embedded in our curriculum and operations
across the whole Junior School. Our goal is to encourage our community to make
informed choices, take inspired action and create a positive impact as individuals, as a
group and at a global level.
In Senior School, many of our Global Citizenship and Sustainability initiatives are initiated
and led by students. This encourages student agency and leadership, allowing students
to take ownership of their learning and develop the skills and knowledge needed
to become responsible global citizens. For example, the Senior School Global Goals
Club is a student-led group, aiming to guide students, teachers and parents towards the
SDG goals in a way that is tailored to the demands of our school context.
By participating in a variety of activities from extracurricular activities to House events,
students are able to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world situations. This
approach enables them to develop the skills needed to become effective leaders and
change agents.
Students also have numerous opportunities to learn more about SDGs and our Dulwich
values through the many special celebrations throughout the year such as No-Carbon
November, Empathy Week, Kindness Week, Pink Week, International Women’s Day, and
Earth Week.
