Author: Dover Court International School September 24, 2019 Duration: 1:05

Dear DCIS Parents,

Last week's STEAM week was a wonderful experience for our Primary and Years 7 and 8 students. I would like to thank Mr Baines and Mr Northridge for coordinating the various activities.

Our PE teacher and dance specialist Ms Hughes is in the process of developing the dance programme at Dover Court. Dance is taught in blocks in our Primary school and the feedback from the students participating in the first block has been extremely positive.

I look forward to welcoming our Class Parent Representatives to school tomorrow. The meeting takes place in Cooper Hall, 8.45am.

Our parent association, the DCA, welcomes all DCIS parents to their parent social, Thursday 26th September, 7.00-10.00pm. For more information, please contact DCA at dovercourtassociation@gmail.com

Have a great week.
