The Literary Society meets weekly and is addressed by a mixture of guests, staff and boys. ‘LitSoc might just be the most exciting aspect of English at Dulwich College. Away from the classroom, the lines between year groups disappear, leaving an open creative space. The weekly meetings give students the opportunity to hear talks given by teachers, outside speakers and their peers on subjects ranging from Shakespearian Tragedy to Postmodernism.’ Henry Page, Year 13
Year 7 boys travelled to Box Hill for two days of outward-bound free learning organised jointly by the Geography and English departments. The early Spring sunshine warmed the chalk slopes of the famous hill and the boys wrote haikus inspired by the power and mystery of the ancient woodland’s flora and fauna, as well as practising their map- reading and orienteering skills. Theatre visits are a regular part of the boys’ experience, making use of the proximity of central London. In the 2014 season, trips to 12 of the best productions were keenly supported by pupils and staff.
