■ The Junior School Symposium 2021 was another triumph of Free Learning around the theme of ‘Our World’. What an exciting day we had! It was an absolute pleasure seeing the boys engage in the varied activities, showing their collaboration skills and their creativity, with teachers from across the College. This year’s Symposium was divided into two sections. Year 3 took part in an Eco-Day in line with the Dulwich College International Schools Year 3 cohorts. Their day, focused on Antarctica, culminated in a series of Bushcraft events and camping overnight on the school fields (in a howling gale!) - a very memorable experience. Years 4, 5 and 6 enjoyedaday of variedworkshopsaround the ‘Our World’ theme with speakers and staff from across the College. Their day started with headline speaker Charlie Walker who spoke eloquently and passionately about his travels worldwide and all he has learned through meeting people and experiencing different landscapes and cultures. He was truly inspirational and kept the boys’ full attention. Although we could not join up with JAGS and Dulwich Wood Primary in the same way as normal, we are looking forward to reuniting with them next year. One of the highlights from the day was popping into the danceathon sessions with Miss Ibbotson – we had the boys performing Bollywood dancing, the Jive and the Haka – and this was all in aid of Gavi Vaccination Alliance. We raised an incredible £3000, which supported the equitable distribution of vaccines worldwide. Symposium – Our World Orienteering Samba Drums
