Excitement, optimism and anticipation

It is my pleasure to welcome families to a new academic year from what I hope has been a refreshing, enjoyable and relaxing holiday. The start of a new year brings with it a sense of excitement, optimism and anticipation that I am sure the new academic year will reward handsomely.

This is the time of year when we welcome many new families into our community. Our new staff members have arrived safely and for the past two weeks have been enjoying their transition to a new life in Shanghai and the college. We are extremely privileged to be joined by such an outstanding group of teachers.

We received our latest set of external examination results during the summer holiday. Our IB results this year were once again very strong indeed. The average point score of 37.6 achieved by our students is excellent. We were thrilled that over 29.2 percent of our students gained scores of 40 or more.

The IB is rightly recognized as the most demanding of high school qualification programs and all scores represent the outcome of two years of hard work for each individual student. These are among the best results ever achieved at Dulwich College Shanghai and I congratulate each and every student on them, and our senior school teachers who worked so hard to help the students achieve these excellent scores.

For families joining the Dulwich College Shanghai community this year for the first time, I strongly urge them to become involved with the Friends of Dulwich (FoD) parent association. There is no better way to become fully engaged with the life of the college and its numerous associated activities, such as coffee mornings, talks, markets and social gatherings, than to become engaged with FoD.
