Thinking Matters 2018

The Junior School Symposium Taking its lead from the Upper School Symposium, the idea of a day dedicated to cross-curricular enquiry has become a feature of Junior School life. The Junior School Symposium is run in partnership with James Allen’s Girls’ School, and the theme for 2018 was ‘Time’. Teachers from both Junior and Senior schools, as well as outside speakers and performers for the headline events, offered a range of challenging, thought-provoking sessions. By the end of the day, every pupil had taken part in events exploring time through thinking, problem-solving, discussion, debate, analysis, evaluation and creativity. Drumming at JAPS and speed-stacking here at the College were particularly enjoyed by the participants, the latter quite possibly inspired by the short clip of a champion speed-stacker who is a pupil at Dulwich College Singapore.
