What does it mean to be a leader? At Dulwich College Seoul, leadership takes many forms. From Head Students and House Captains to student-led ECAs, service projects and sports teams, our students lead with purpose, collaboration and empathy. Through initiatives such as the Sustainability Committee, Culture Club Café, Earth Stewards and community service programmes, students are learning that leadership is not defined by position, but by action and responsibility. From mentoring younger students to launching new ideas that shape our community, our students are developing the confidence to take risks, the courage to act and the empathy to serve. At Dulwich College Seoul, leadership is not defined by title, but by purpose. Through experiences both inside and beyond the classroom, our students are growing into leaders who aim to make a positive difference in the world.

Hearing directly from peers helped make the process clearer and gave Year 9 valuable insight as they begin considering their next academic steps. Students will continue these conversations with teachers, tutors, and families ahead of the Year 9 Options Evening on 9 March.

We are delighted to share that Hue P (Year 7) has now returned to school after two months away, following her incredible second-place finish at the International Junior Technical Ski Championship. We invite you to view the photos and videos below, which capture highlights from her training and competition season. Hue's Reflection "When I first started skiing five years ago, I never imagined that I would be placed in the international junior technical ski championship. I first started to ski as a hobby to do something active with my family in the winter. Fast forward to 2026, and I am happy to say that I won second place in the international junior championship held this February. During my training in December and January, there were moments where I had to refocus and push myself. To overcome this, for the last two to three weeks, I only focused on slight adjustments, repeated the same movements, and didn't miss any dry land training. I only focused on my goal and tried not to get distracted. Even though I was not able to get first, as someone who was only able to place seventh two years ago, I was happy to place second this time. I know that it was my attention to detail in the last few weeks that helped me achieve this." We are incredibly proud of everything Hue has achieved this season, both on and off the slopes. Her dedication, resilience and thoughtful approach to her sport are a wonderful example to us all here at Dulwich College Seoul. We wish her all the best as she continues her journey and look forward to seeing what she accomplishes next. #dulwichcollegeseoul #studentachievement #studentreflection #skiing

Our Year 6 pupils are already looking ahead to their next exciting chapter: Senior School. This week marked the start of our transition taster sessions, designed to help pupils feel confident and prepared for the move beyond Primary. Led by Senior School staff, these sessions give students a real taste of what’s to come — from new subjects and specialist classrooms to different teaching styles. We kicked off with a vibrant European Languages taster session, where pupils explored new vocabulary, cultural insights, and embraced the challenge of speaking unfamiliar words with confidence. The energy in the room was fantastic, with every pupil fully engaged, collaborating, and stepping outside their comfort zone. A brilliant start to the journey ahead. We look forward to sharing more highlights soon. #DulwichCollegeSeoul #Year6 #SeniorSchoolJourney #Transition

What does it mean to grow with a school from the very beginning? Founding parent JW Hyun reflects on her family’s fifteen-year journey with Dulwich College Seoul — from our opening in 2010 to both of her children graduating and continuing their studies at Columbia University. She shares how her children were truly known as individuals, encouraged to think independently, and supported in discovering their strengths — from music composition to Mathematics. More than anything, she speaks about belonging. The friendships, the teacher relationships, and the sense of community that still feels like extended family today. As we celebrate 15 years of Transforming Tomorrow Together, her story reminds us what it means to grow together. Please enjoy her testimonial. #DCSL15 #TransformingTomorrowTogether #DulwichCollegeSeoul #DulwichDifference #InternationalEducation

Fast forward to 2026 — I stayed focused, worked on the small details, and didn’t miss a single training session. Going from seventh place to second, I couldn’t be prouder of how far I’ve come.” For Hue’s full reflection, please go to MyDulwich. Congratulations, Hue — your dedication and resilience inspire us all! 👏

What happens when students don’t just receive mentoring — but become mentors themselves? Some of the most powerful learning happens peer to peer. When students support one another, they build confidence, empathy, accountability, and leadership — while benefiting from guidance that feels authentic and relatable. Recently, Year 7 and Year 10 students came together for their second mentoring session of the year in partnership with Oppidan Education. The focus was self-reflection and goal setting, with Year 7 students reviewing their progress in Senior School and Year 10 mentors guiding them in setting meaningful SMART targets for the months ahead. These goals will be revisited in Term 3 to ensure sustained growth. Through our collaboration with Oppidan Education, this structured mentoring model empowers both mentors and mentees — strengthening leadership skills while fostering a culture of shared responsibility. Well done to all students involved for their maturity and commitment to personal development. #DulwichCollegeSeoul #OppidanEducation #StudentLeadership #Mentoring

We are proud to share that a Dulwich College Seoul student String Quartet has won the Grand Prize in the Chamber Music category at the 2026 International New Artist Music Competition. The quartet — Sejun (Year 10), Lumi (Year 8), Erin (Year 8) and Jayden (Year 8) — earned international recognition for their musical maturity, ensemble awareness and disciplined collaboration, developed through our Chamber Music programme. Reflecting on the performance, first violinist Sejun shared: “I think that the best thing about a performance is the rewarding yet minor yearning that I feel after its closing; the many hours of practice come together to make an incredible show, with each meticulous comment and detail reflected as we synchronise together on the stage. However, once all is finished, one half of me already begins to miss the bygone piece while the other half of me feels the excitement to study another piece to come.” Director of Music Mark Knights added: “We are incredibly proud of Sejun, Lumi, Erin and Jayden, and delighted to see their dedication to music—both inside and beyond the classroom—recognised through this achievement. Their success is a wonderful reflection of the commitment and care they bring to their musical journeys each day.” We are pleased to share this performance video and invite our community to enjoy and celebrate this remarkable accomplishment together. #DulwichCollegeSeoul #StudentAchievement #MusicEducation

From 4–7 February, students from Dulwich College Seoul, Dulwich College Beijing and Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi came together for an immersive game development experience that challenged them to think like designers, storytellers and engineers. Throughout the programme, students explored the world of game creation from both technical and creative perspectives. A visit to the Netmarble Game Museum deepened their understanding of video game history and industry evolution, while a live Q&A with Ilena from the Godot Foundation offered real insight into professional game project management. Students also participated in hands-on workshops led by Game Development professors from the University of Utah, focusing on animation, digital storytelling and game marketing — providing a rare glimpse into how ideas move from concept to production in real studios. The event culminated in a vibrant Game Expo, where teams proudly presented their original games to more than 120 visitors. Guests voted across categories including Best Artwork, Best Music and Best Overall Game, celebrating both technical excellence and creative expression. Student projects have now been submitted to judges at Ubisoft Shanghai, with results expected in March. In addition, participants are competing in a school-wide Best in School competition, continuing the spirit of innovation beyond the event itself.

For families in Years 5 and 6, the transition from Primary into Senior School is a pivotal moment. It’s a time filled with excitement, questions, and important decisions about a child’s next stage of growth.

Our recent Wine and Cheese with Senior School evening brought Year 5 and Year 6 parents together to explore what this transition truly looks like. Through presentations from our pastoral and academic leaders, parents gained a clear view of the pathway from the final years of Primary through to Senior School, university, and beyond. Most importantly, they heard directly from our Head Students Bea K., Kunho J., Kailey K., and Jioh C., whose honest reflections offered real insight into the student experience and the support available along the way. By grounding conversations in real student voices and practical guidance, we aim to help families approach this milestone with confidence and clarity. #DulwichCollegeSeoul #EducationJourney #SeniorSchoolTransition #ParentPartnership #StudentVoice

Strong school communities are built on trust, partnership and a shared sense of belonging — values that matter deeply in international education. We are pleased to share a particularly moving parent video testimonial from Clare, mother of Hughie (Year 2) and Emma (Reception), who kindly agreed to record this reflection before her family repatriated to Australia at the end of last term. In the video, Clare speaks warmly and openly about her family’s experience at Dulwich College Seoul, reflecting on the friendships they formed, the opportunities to volunteer, and the care and support they received during a challenging period. Her words are a powerful reminder of the strength of our community and the lasting connections that are built here. Clare was also a valued member of the Friends of Dulwich Executive Committee during her time with us, and her contribution to the College community has been deeply appreciated. We extend our sincere thanks to Clare for sharing her experience so generously, and we wish her and her family every happiness as they begin this next chapter of their lives in Melbourne. #SchoolCommunity #InternationalEducation #Community #DulwichDifference #Education #DulwichCollegeSeoul #ParentTestimonial

Recently, students across our Senior School took part in Adventurous Journeys, with three year groups travelling across the region. Year 8 explored southern China, Year 9 journeyed to Japan, and Year 12 travelled to Hong Kong — each experience designed to challenge students beyond the classroom and support personal growth. Across all journeys, students demonstrated resilience, curiosity and teamwork as they navigated new environments together. Through outdoor adventure, cultural exploration and leadership-focused activities, they developed confidence, independence and a strong sense of responsibility towards one another. We are grateful to the staff who led these journeys with such care and professionalism, and to our families for the trust they place in us. We look forward to seeing the impact of these experiences carried back into school life. #OutdoorEducation #OutdoorAdventure #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #StudentLeadership #GlobalCitizenship #InternationalEducation #DulwichCollegeSeoul

Wrapping up our Outdoor Adventure series with our Year 12 Adventurous Journey to Hong Kong. From abseiling, rock climbing and gorge hiking to a City Voyager challenge exploring the city independently, students took on a week full of challenge, teamwork and growth. Leadership and inclusion were at the heart of the journey, with students supporting one another and stepping up in different ways throughout the trip. We were incredibly proud of the maturity, kindness and confidence shown by our Year 12 students. A special highlight came on the final day, when they chose to use their lunch money to buy thank-you gifts for their facilitators — a small gesture that spoke volumes. A meaningful way to end our Adventure Journey series, and a wonderful reflection of our students’ character.

We were delighted to welcome Adam Bushnell, Amazon number one best-selling author and former teacher, to Dulwich College Seoul for a series of inspiring writing workshops with students from Year 2 to Year 6. Across the day, Adam worked with each year group to explore how stories are built, bringing writing to life through humour, drama and imaginative storytelling. Students learned how to develop characters, create tension, and play with language, all while discovering that writing can be fun, bold and full of personality. Adam’s sessions were lively and accessible, encouraging even the most reluctant writers to take creative risks and see themselves as authors. The workshops were a fantastic opportunity for our students to engage with a real-life author, deepen their understanding of the writing process, and feel inspired to experiment with their own ideas back in the classroom. We are incredibly grateful to Adam for sharing his expertise, energy and passion for storytelling with our Dulwich Seoul community. @authoradam

We were delighted to welcome Laura Wall, author and illustrator, to DUCKS on Thursday and Friday. Laura spent time with both students and parents, sharing her journey as an author and artist, and introducing children to Goose, a character who quickly became a firm favourite.

The book-signing sessions in the Primary Library were a particular highlight, making the visit a joyful and memorable experience for our youngest learners. Many families also joined Laura’s workshop and took the opportunity to have books signed. Her books are now available to borrow from the Inquiry Hub Library. We look forward to welcoming more authors to our community, with juniors meeting Adam Bushnell next week to support their creative writing journeys.

Founding alumni and their families returned to campus on Wednesday 7 January for “Honouring our Beginnings, Shaping our Future: Founding Families & Alumni Reunion,” part of the College’s 15th anniversary celebrations. They were welcomed by Head of College Ms Alison Derbyshire, who acknowledged founding families including JW Hyun, Helena Kim and Sung Uk Lee, Eunjin Jung, and Young-sun Lee. A highlight of the evening was hearing from alumni as they shared where they are now and reflected on their time at Dulwich. Former Head Student Kris Lee, Class of ’23, spoke about the value of learning through working with different people and traveling. Victor Jung, Class of ’22, reflected on understanding privilege and responsibility during his 12 years at the College. Many alumni fondly remembered international trips to Phuket and Suzhou, as well as events such as the Olympiad and the MADD Festival. Class of ’19 Hyun Sung “Patrick” Lee shared how he still cherishes the friendships he formed at Dulwich. Guests toured the newly renovated campus, including the Alleyn Theatre, DUCKS area, Café 1619 and the Dulwich Drop, and shared memories through the Legacy Video Corner and photo booth. It was a wonderful celebration of the College’s 15th anniversary shared with the families who have been part of Dulwich College Seoul since its earliest days.
