A Peek Behind the Scenes
Facilities The diligence of our Facilities team keeps our school running. Aside from their regular jobs such as setting up rooms or moving furniture for events, our Facilities team carries out regular maintenance of the school to keep everything in running order. They regularly carry out inspections of the lights, power, air-con and water fountains, and ensure everything from doors, to lockers are in top shape.

The Facilities team is involved in all school set-ups and activities, including setting up decorations for events such as Christmas, Chinese New Year, Easter, Mid-Autumn Lunar Festival and Family Fun Day. Most importantly, the team is making the school greener with our new look for the garden on all levels of the school. We even have a nursery of plants on the rooftop!
Many cleaners are well known on each floor and in each department as they work with all the DC staff to understand the school’s requirements. Cleaners carry out work from cleaning the foreshore pitch to cleaning the toilets and changing rooms. They also assist the Facilities team when moving furniture and setting up for special events. Without their assistance, our Facilities team would not be able to carry out the many room set-ups and major event set-ups around school.

Cleaners The ISS cleaning team is an integral part of the DC Facilities Department. Their very important role reflects directly upon the image of the school. From the minute you walk into DC you will see the fruits of their labour, starting with the foyer of the school. Led by Sam, who is the supervisor of the team, our cleaners are hard at work 6 days a week with an earlier start and later finish than any other staff.

With their experience and expertise, the College maintains a full Primary student population of 720 children, accompanied by healthy waiting lists in Years 1-6. Meanwhile, Secondary has, for the first time, overtaken Primary with a student population of 729. With Bob and Annie’s continued hardwork, we look forward to increasing our student numbers to the maximum capacity of 1,560 in the upcoming years.

Admissions Office Due to the outstanding work of Bob Priest and Annie Wong in our Admissions Department, ably assisted by the College’s teaching staff, the 2017-18 academic year has seen the largest cohort of students start since the College first opened its doors in August 2008. This will be Bob’s eighth year administering the application process for these young children, and Annie’s fourth year.
