Sports

At Dulwich International High School Programme Suzhou, sport is more than just an essential part of the curriculum. While sports certainly help our students to develop physically and improves their coordination skills, it also shows them how to become a valuable member of a team. Scientific research also clearly shows the role that physical exercise (on a regular basis) has on enhancing organizational skills, developing self-discipline and improving emotional and social wellbeing.

Sport at Dulwich is a vitally important part of the House System. Sporting participation and active competition encourages leadership and showcases the importance of sportsmanship. Sporting Competition, in the context of the house system, allows our students to experience and celebrate success and achievement, while also learning how to lose with dignity.

As a school in the EiM, Dulwich International High School Programme Suzhou regularly competes against other schools in the group as part of the annual Dulwich Games. Every four years, EiM holds the Dulwich Olympiad, which is a sports competition on the largest scale that involves all of the schools in the group. 

Our school's physical education emphasises not merely physical training but also the development of athletic skills, teamwork, leadership, and healthy lifestyle habits through innovative course design and interactive activities. In the PE class, sports such as football and handball serve as natural contexts for integrating English language learning, enabling students to learn with enthusiasm. Beyond the classroom, a diverse range of co-curricular activities and inter-school exchange matches not only enhance competitive performance but also foster holistic growth through stress relief and social interaction.
