The Three Pillars of Our CCA Programme

There are 3 components to the College CCA programme: Enrichment, The Arts, and Sport.

The Enrichment focus consists of a range of academic Societies that reflect students’ key learning areas. Some examples of the Societies being offered are a Science Society, a Debating Society, and a Technology Society. Participating in a Society provides students in Dulwich Suzhou International School with opportunities to explore more diverse topics than the prescribed curriculum. Junior School students can also participate in additional Special Interest Clubs that don’t fall within the realm of a Society, but still provide students with the opportunity to engage in a specific area of learning.

A Structured Pathway for Enrichment

Recognising that our students are at very different stages of their development, we have created the following structure for the Enrichment offerings:

• Experiment (DS) – DUCKS students will regularly change their CCA choices, so they have the chance to experiment with a range of new ideas and interests

• Development (JS) – As many Junior School students will have an interest area, which is subject to change, they will have the flexibility to select new CCAs each term. This will give them the chance to develop their interest in one area, whilst providing them with opportunities to engage with new ideas

• Extension (SS) – By the time students reach Senior School, they have a good idea of their interests. We want them to deepen and extend their learning within a chosen Society and be able to demonstrate true commitment. Therefore, Senior School students will make a year-long commitment to a chosen Enrichment CCA(s).
