Congratulations
Last Sunday, a team made up entirely of DSKI players participated in the English Football Cup, a tournament organized by the English Football Academy on Rokko Island.

Ren, Jason, Hunter, Koh, Michel, Max, and Moritz worked well together and performed strongly throughout the event. They finished in first place and took home the trophy.

Congratulations to the team!

Message from the School Board
A big thankyou to all parents for completing the PTA survey. We will go through it and then in the new school year we can share our thinking on your points and how we can improve.

Many thanks to all who attended the Student Led Conferences and a huge thankyou to all our teachers, If you didn't pick up one of our DSKI calendars and bags, we will make sure you get one soon.

We hope you enjoyed the sample for the new school lunches! Feedback was 100% positive, yes please! We will go ahead and make the arrangements for August.
