Dear DCIS Parents,

I hope that you had a great break last week. We have a busy and exciting week ahead, with our biggest event of the year, UN Day, taking place on Friday.

The school photographer is here Monday to Thursday, taking the official school photos. We ask that students come to school wearing their best uniform on the day that they have their photo taken. Please refer to the Parent Portal for the photo week schedule.

Our parent association, the DCA, and the Secondary Student Council are running two charity drives this week. Caring for Cambodia takes toiletry donations and Toys from the Heart is looking for toys for 6-13 year olds, donations can be left at the main steps 8-8.45am until Thursday 24th October. For more information, please refer to the email sent out by DCA last Tuesday. For Primary students interested in being part of the Primary Student Council, the application deadline is Tuesday 29th October.

We look forward to celebrating our diversity on Friday. We ask that all students wear an outfit that represents their home country or the commemorative UN Day t-shirt, arranged by the DCA. Parents are also invited to dress up! We kindly ask that students avoid wearing team football/sports kit, such as Premier League kits, they are however welcome to wear their national sports kit.

As Deepavali will be celebrated next weekend, Monday 28th October is a public holiday and the school is closed. All Primary students are invited to dress in traditional or colourful clothes to celebrate Deepavali on Friday, 1st November.

On Tuesday 29th October we will hold our Primary Maths parent workshopwhere we will share our approach to maths at Dover Court and explain how our curriculum is taught. We look forward to seeing Primary parents in Cooper Hall, 8.45am.

The DCA's Primary and Secondary Halloween events will take place Friday 1st November. Please note that payment for tickets is due Wednesday 23rd October.

Finally, a reminder that there are no ECAs on Friday due to UN Day.

Have a great week, I look forward to seeing many of you on Friday.
