Deputy Headmaster's Message - International Day

By

 Dear Parents and Guardians,

Today marks one of the key events in the DBS calendar - International Day. The first meeting held for International Day was back in September, highlighting the incredible behind the scenes work carried out by Mr Apter, Mr Ang, Mr Gower, Mr Yau and the Facilities team. This was made even trickier with the high AQI readings this week, but the Academic and Admin teams were able to pull together and ensured that the day was as great as ever!

I really hope you were able to make it today, as the day that was forced on us turned out to be one of the best International Days DBS has ever had! Having the parade in the Araya Hall was sensational, and all those who attended appeared to think the same. The activity booths were both well set up and well attended and there was a really positive feel to the day.

International Day is one of those days in the calendar where every member of the DBS community comes together to help support it and make it a success. The teams I’ve already thanked, but also the teachers and students for setting up the stalls and preparing for the performances, and also the parents for dressing up the children in some truly outstanding costumes.

I hope you and your family have a lovely break and we will see you all back at DBS, refreshed and ready for Term 2b on Monday 26th February.
