DULWICH PREP+
CULTURAL ADVENTURES FOR BOYS, PARENTS AND STAFF
SPRING TERM 2017
Prep+ is now in its 5th year and continuing to deliver quality cultural adventures for the school
community.
Prep+ is open to boys in Years 5, 6, 7 and 8, plus their parents and siblings and Prep staff. For all
outside school events boys are accompanied by staff, transport is arranged and they are brought
back to school for pick up at the times indicated. Boys in the younger years are welcome to
come if accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
We live in an amazing city with so much on offer and I am delighted that with Prep+, which has
become part of the fabric of the school, thanks to your support and involvement, we can take
advantage of many of the exhibitions, shows, concerts (and even restaurants) that are on our
doorstep!
