Dover Court has a history of extensive charity work and with the launch of Nord Anglia Education's Share a Dream initiative we have worked on a new charity programme.
Share A Dream is an online social engagement platform, designed to engage Nord Anglia Education schools, students and teachers in outreach activities. As an intuitive solution for social responsibility engagement, Share A Dream helps facilitate the good work happening in every Nord Anglia school community, and gives students and teachers the power to effect positive, lasting change through activities.
During term three last year the Dover Court students had the opportunity to select the charities that the school would support over the next two years.
Friday 11th October was our first Charity Day of the year and a range of activities have been going on on campus to raise money and awarenss. All students were invited to a non-uniform day for a a small donation, the new charity collection boxes placed at the entrence were a great success and the children enjoyed putting their donations in the boxes. The students had created some wonderful posters that were displayed in the foyer.
8MM and 11ML had worked hard all week in preparation for their bake sale in The Lounge. The students had baked all the goods on sale, made posters and ran the stand, all by themselves. They would like to thank all parents and staff for supporting them and helping them help others.
The Spot in the Red Dot Restaurant saw a number of busking performances, all performing to raise funds.
A wonderful day, truly showing that our students embrace the Dover Court vision.
