INTRODUCTION

Dear Parents,

It gives me great pleasure to present the 2018 Autumn Term Dulwich Prep London

co-curricular booklet. Once again this term, we will be offering the boys a wide range

of co-curricular clubs and activities that enable them to develop their social, sporting

and cultural abilities and to foster their own self-belief.

Participation in the co-curricular programme at Dulwich Prep London is strongly

encouraged, valued and inclusive and we hope that the boys will take advantage of

the clubs and activities on offer. The Middle and Upper School boys should be

looking to choose clubs that will incorporate a range of skills and help them work

towards their All Rounder Award.

This booklet contains a comprehensive timetable of clubs and activities that will run

during the Autumn Term which we hope will prove useful to you and your sons.

To register interest in any of the PAID clubs in this booklet, please use the Parent

Message Centre which can be found via the Parent portal on the school website.

https://dulwichpreplondon.myclarioncall.co.uk/login.php?centre=parent

The online booking will go live on Monday 16th July and will close on Friday 27th

July

Please be aware that membership of most of our clubs (apart from those which are

invitational) is for one term only to maximise the number of boys who can benefit.

Current members may reapply if they wish to join for a second term but should

understand that first time applicants will always be given priority. Please note that,

once enrolled in a paid club and offered a place, the fee is non-refundable, and boys

are expected to complete the ten week programme.

Lower School boys can apply ONLY for the following Middle and Upper School paid

clubs in this booklet: Chess, Thursday squash , karate, gymnastics and Thursday

climbing (Year 4).

You will be informed by the school of your sons club allocation. Please note that any

Middle or Upper School boys will definitely be able to find a place in a club running

until 5pm on any evening or he can attend Prep class in case this helps you plan your

childcare provision.

All clubs will start from Monday 10th September. Paid clubs will end on Friday 7

December, allowing for an 11 week course, whilst unpaid clubs will finish on

Tuesday 11 December.

CLUB INFORMATION

A Good Read This Year 8 occasional break time club meets throughout the autumn and spring terms to

discuss books that are thought-provoking, perhaps a ‘classic’, certainly ‘a good read’. Each

meeting is led by a different member of staff, and boys wishing to attend a particular

meeting should sign up in advance and undertake to read the book before

attending. Details of the books to be discussed and the dates for each meeting will be

emailed to Year 8 parents at the start of each term and advertised in the Library and

English Department.

Archive Club We have an interesting collection of documents and artefacts collected over the years and

the boys will be helping to preserve, label, catalogue and store these items up in the

Archive Attic. The club will run at lunchtime on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. With a

small space we can only accommodate 2 or 3 boys at a time so numbers will be limited.

Art Clubs

Art Scholars Programme

This club is aimed at those who completed last year’s programme. Boys will explore

how to develop ideas in depth, using the work of artists as an inspiration and carrying

out the appropriate experimentation to reach a final outcome. Year 8 boys will be

expected to dedicate a minimum of 3 hours of independent work per week, if they

are serious about applying for a scholarship. (10 Boys)

Artists and Art Techniques

Boys will respond to the work of different artists and explore a wide range of

materials and techniques. This club will be suitable for anyone wishing to build a

portfolio of personal work (some independent work to extend and refine the

techniques will be expected for those considering this option). (10 Boys)

Ceramics

Boys will explore a variety of hand building techniques and will produce a final

outcome based on a given brief. They will be encouraged to be experimental with

surface decoration and glazing. (10 Boys)

Bee Keeping An opportunity to explore the inner workings of the school beehive.

Big Band The Big Band’s reputation speaks for itself and the group is in demand both for school

concerts and local events. Boys from any year in Middle and Upper School may be invited

to join but it is usually a performance opportunity for boys in Upper School. The Band has

won awards at national level on many occasions.

Board Games Club: Getting BORED at break time? Come along to BOARD Games Club! Plenty of games to

choose from. Lots of fun to be had. (12 Boys)

Book Club Year 6 & Year 7 These clubs meet fortnightly and, as spaces are limited, are divided into two sessions, with

half the boys attending a breakfast meeting and the other half after school. We do different

things at each meeting - book swaps, discussions, debates or quizzes - and the only

criterion for joining the club is a genuine love of books and reading. Boys should speak to

Mrs Fletcher if they wish to join.

Calligraphy Club Calligraphy is the Art of Beautiful Writing. Boys will learn how to form letters with a

calligraphy pen and will be encouraged to create masterpieces of writing and illustration in

the form of cards, posters, poems etc. Boys are welcome to come along to a taster session

if they would like to find out more before committing! (6 - 8 boys)

Chamber Groups Depending on given strengths within sections or year groups, any number of small chamber

groups may be organised. String trios, quartets and quintets play alongside clarinet group

and cello group in a variety of concerts.

Chamber Strings Boys from Years 7- 8 may be invited to participate in this group which performs regularly in

a variety of styles.

Chamber Choir Boys from any year in Middle and Upper School may audition for our Chamber Choir

improve their problem solving ability.
