A Day to Remember - the 20th Founder's Day!
The 20th Anniversary Founder's Day at Dulwich Pudong was the biggest community event of the year.
Attended by students, staff, parents, alumni and VIPs, including Founder Mr. Fraser White, Co-Founder Ms. Karen Yung, former Head of College of Dulwich Pudong Ms. Caroline Taylor, Director of International Exchange at the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission Mr. Zhou, Director of JinQiao Administrative Committee Mr. Lv, General Manager of JinQiao Company Mr. Du, Deputy General Manager of JinQiao Group Mr. Zhu and Chief of Exchange and Cooperation at the Pudong Education Bureau Ms. Lv. It was joyous occasion filled with laughter, reunions, and heartfelt moments.
The captivating stage performances and activities lasted for an impressive six hours without a break, culminating in a 20th Anniversary Greatest Hits concert featuring music from Dulwich Pudong's history.
On a beautiful balmy evening, families enjoyed picnics on the field whilst listening to professional quality outdoor music performed by over 400 Dulwich students. Highlights included 'You Can't Always Get What you Want', by the Rolling Stones, in celebration of the time the Dulwich Shanghai choir performed live on stage with the legends themselves.
