COOL4SCHOOL IS BACK


On Tuesday, 19 Sep, we were honoured to host Marcel, the founder of Cool4School, for the second year running at DBS today. Our Pre-Prep and Prep students were treated to an unforgettable day of high-energy workshops. Through a blend of diverse musical genres like Reggae, Latin, and Funk, Marcel brought rhythms and grooves to life, captivating our students and sparking their enthusiasm for music.

Beyond just melodies, the workshops intertwined movement and dance, providing a holistic experience that not only taught musicality but also encouraged physical activity. Such hands-on, immersive sessions remind us of the power of music in education, and the importance of fostering a love for it from a young age.


We're grateful for this collaboration with Cool4School and look forward to more musical adventures with Marcel in the future.
