Friends of Dulwich The FoD Executive Committee plays an active role in the community at DCSZ. The object of the Friends of Dulwich is to sustain and support the College, in particular by: • Enhancing/enriching the life of the pupils at the College through financial and other support; • Strengthening the links between the College and the local community; • Assisting the College by providing voluntary help and advice.
The Parents Lounge At DCSZ we value our parents. To that end our parents have their own lounge. This is situated on the 1st floor in Room S120 of the main building, next to the main entrance. Parents are welcome to use this lounge at any time from 8:10am to 5pm. Please note that the room is for parents only. It is not reserved for drivers or Ayi. Similarly, children who are students at the College should not enter the room, even if they are with their parents, until they have been collected from class at the end of the school day. A notice board is provided for parents or businesses to advertise events, sales or products. A small fee is charged for advertising on the notice board and this serves to fund refreshments and other consumables for the Parents lounge. The FoD will use the lounge as a base and a number of social functions and information meetings will take place there throughout the Year.
Parent Representatives A parent representative represents each Senior School Tutor Group. These are normally appointed on a volunteer system, however the role can be job-shared if appropriate. The primary function of the ‘Class Rep’ is to facilitate communication between Tutors and parents in relation to volunteers for the classroom or special events. The Class Reps also facilitate the social interaction among families in the school community. Their role is not to have involvement in the day-to-day teaching at the College but to be the liaison between the school and its families. These class representatives form the backbone of our Parents’ Association or FoD.
