  • Co-Curricular Activity Programme
    CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITY PROGRAMME TERM 1 2020 - 2021 Contents Introduction 01 Information for DUCKS 06 Enrichment 11 The Arts 25 Sport 37 SchoolsBuddy Information 46 Introduction At Dulwich College, the Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) programme covers all of the activities that take place outside of the taught curriculum. We consider this to be an integral part of the students’ journey through their schooling, as it affords an opportunity for students to experience and deepen their interests and abilities in a wide range of areas. We firmly believe that the CCA programme is a vital component of the student experience, as it not only serves to complement and extend learning from the classroom, but it also helps to develop student health and wellbeing. It is often through the CCA programme that students find life-long interests, as well as meet and make new friends with like-minded individuals. Through their active participation in the CCA programme, students will stretch boundaries and be exposed to new challenges and experiences, developing the social and interpersonal skills necessary to succeed in this rapidly changing world. We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of activities as part of our CCA programme, all with specified learning intentions and outcomes designed to ensure that students are being actively developed and engaged through their participation. We are constantly seeking to improve and refine our CCA programme to ensure that all students have their interests catered for, and to enable students to interact and make friends with peers outside of their usual social circles. 1 Changes to the CCA Programme This year, the College has changed its CCA programme to reflect a more cohesive programme across the whole College.

  • Aseema Annual Report “Let Us Think Of
    “Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone.” — John F. Kennedy Aseema Annual Report 2015–16 Pushing Boundaries For the past 19 years Aseema Charitable Trust has been providing high quality education to children from marginalized communities. Students at Aseema are encouraged to explore different ways of thinking, questioning and analyzing; believing that they can maximize their potential. They are nurtured with the spirit of competing with oneself, respecting the rights of others, recognizing individual differences and thereby becoming confident young individuals. India, more now than at any other time, needs our young population to be well educated with the right values — young people who think beyond just themselves and who will truly serve the nation. Aseema’s Annual report 2015-16 introduces you to the faces, smiles, curious eyes and passionate hearts of our children who strive to push their boundaries each day. As we continue our work, taking children forward from what they learn today to fulfilling their dreams tomorrow, we thank all of you who have been part of this memorable journey. Over the past fifteen years, Aseema has been working closely with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) in creating centres of excellence within the public education system. Our relationship with the MCGM has enabled us reach out to a greater number of children from marginalized communities. Through a Public Private Partnership with the (MCGM), we have adopted three Municipal schools in Mumbai — the Pali Chimbai Municipal School, the Santacruz (W) Municipal School and the Kherwadi Municipal School.

  • Tsunami Project Update
    ISB NETWORK NEWS Volume 47 April 2006 HM King Bhumiphol Adulyadej By Mom Bongkojpriya (Betty) Yugala ([email protected]) On the second day after my arrival in Thailand, back in April 1966, I was taken to Hua Hin to be presented to His Majesty as a new member of the royal family. My husband’s aunt had prepared the traditional flowers and incense that I had to present to His Majesty as a gesture of loyalty, and I was prepped on the protocol. Although so nervous that I hardly could take it all in, I remember the scene at Klaikangwol (“Far From Worries”) Palace, very vividly. Feeling very close to worry and very nervous at the time, I thought the palace was inaccurately named. We all prostrated ourselves in front of him, and with my relatives’ help, I handed the traditional items to HM, along with a few albums of Jazz music that I had purchased back in the States, and had prepared for the occasion. Looking intently at me, he asked my husband, in Thai, of course, whether I could speak the language. But, being able to at least understand what was being said, I blurted, “Not yet, Your Majesty”. He smiled, laughed and commented that I would learn fast. But I wondered, at first, whether he had really accepted me, because in my youth and ignorance I felt uncomfortable when he made it a point not to speak to me in English, one of the languages he speaks fluently. It took me a long time to realize that by speaking to me only in Thai, he was showing his acceptance of me as a new member of the family.
