The new teacher's induction training will be held from August 1st to August 12th. It is designed to help teachers learn more about our students and to give teachers a deeper understanding of our school's educational philosophy. Dulwich teachers not only ensure that every student gains knowledge and has the key skills to succeed in top universities overseas. The training includes an introduction to the Chinese education system (helping new teachers to learn more about the educational background of our students) and a seminar led by our school's guidance department. At the same time, the new teachers also received training in academic quality, assessment, planning, moral care, extracurricular activities and boarding.
Student safety protection is the top priority of our school. Our school has detailed background records for all employees, and organizes them to participate in at least twice a year on safety protection training. At the regular weekly meeting of our school, student safety protection is always one of the topics discussed.
