Founder's Day 2025: A Celebration of Community Spirit

Last Saturday, Dulwich Pudong hosted its most iconic annual community event - Founder's Day. 

Throughout the day, thousands of visitors, including our students, staff, parents, alumni, and distinguished guests, gathered on campus to celebrate this vibrant and heartwarming occasion.

During the event, the entire campus was brimming with festive joy: the main stage and arena featured a dazzling lineup of performances, while long queues formed at the food stalls and amusement facilities on the playground. The Whole College Art Exhibition in the Junior School building and the Global Citizenship Zone in the Sports Centre drew crowds of visitors, and the swimming pool offered a delightful contrast between graceful synchronized swimming displays and thrilling water polo matches.

A "Flea Market" and Bake Sale, meticulously organized by Friends of Dulwich (FoD), were met with overwhelming enthusiasm, with bustling crowds flocking to the stalls. A standout highlight was the exquisite afternoon tea prepared by Bulgari Hotel in the 1619 Suite. 

The grand finale - a 90-minute concert which was the culmination of months of dedicated practice by students, teachers and parents - brought the unforgettable day to a perfect close.
