DBS NEWSLETTER

In November, during Residential Week, Year 12 visited  The   Andaman  Centre for Migrant Education in Kuraburi, where they took part in volunteer work at  the  school. Ahead of their visit, students took part in a DBS teacher training programme to prepare them to teach  the  children at  the  centre. In addition, they hosted a non-uniform day to raise money for  the  centre, and donated a total of 30,900 Baht . Thank you all for your generous contributions on non-uniform day, it truly was a community effort!
