Congratulations to the DCSZ Class of 2024!

As the academic year comes to a close, we gathered to celebrate the remarkable achievements and journey of our graduating students last Friday. It is a momentous occasion filled with joy, pride, and nostalgia as we bid farewell to our talented individuals who have grown and flourished during their time with us.

This year, among all the graduating students, a third of them have stayed with us for more than 10 years. The DCSZ learning journey is unique and unforgettable for our graduates and they have shown immense dedication, resilience, and a thirst for knowledge. Let’s see the highlights of our graduation ceremony!

Some things cannot be taught; they must be experienced. Our experience at Dulwich taught us the most valuable lessons in life by pushing us to enter our own journey.  During our time at Dulwich, we learned that school encompasses much more than academics or the pursuit of excellence; it involves the gradual process of constructing lasting memories. How lucky we are to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Our friends, teachers, and family are an integral part of this cherished experience.

---Yewon L, Head Prefect

As we stand here today, reflecting on our time at Dulwich, it’s impossible not to acknowledge the incredible support we’ve received from our teachers and staff. Their dedication and commitment have been instrumental in shaping us into who we are today. Their unwavering support has been a guiding light, whether it was the lunch times or free periods spent helping us understand complex concepts or encouraging us when we were less confident. You can reminisce about your joyful youth whenever you think back on your memories at school.  As we conclude, we would like to thank our parents and families for their unwavering support, patience, and love throughout these past few years. Thank you, Dulwich, for all these years of amazing stories!

---Martin H, Head Prefect

One of our graduates also shared her feelings with us:

I want to thank Dulwich for all of the opportunities it has given me to develop into the person I am today, it’s been my greatest pleasure to be part of this community and create memories that I’ll never forget. I also wanted to give a special thank you to all of the teachers who have taught me for the last 4 years, they are truly really special human beings that want to see their students do their best and I couldn’t have done the last 4 years without their support and help, so thank you Dulwich for giving us such important foundation for life, I’ll cherish the moments I spent here forever.
