Secondary School classes 8HB and 8ST led an assembly on Resilience. The students shared definitions of resilience as well as sharing some wonderful strategies with their peers to develop this quality in themselves.
We were also treated to a fantastic video from Jenna and Felicity who interviewed members of the DCIS community to find out how they had shown resilience in their own lives, the particular highlight being Mr. Goold's repeated attempts to perfect his recording(!). The groups then shared examples of famous people who have shown resilience in their lives, these included Stephen Hawking, Ruby Bridges and JK Rowling. We were also treated to a classic scene from 'Rocky Balboa'. Congratulations to the students of both forms for their hard work and dedication in producing such a great assembly!

Class 8ST Teacher
Our Year 7 students went on two amazing trips to Sibu Island, Malaysia, for their year group residential. Surrounded by the beauty of nature and immersed in a vibrant new culture, students had the chance to connect with their friends and make memories that will last forever.
