  • Today the Geography department took some Y10 and Y12 Geographers out for the day. They visited the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford. Whilst there they learned about contrasting areas of Stratford and about the way of life there. The aim of the visit was to gain an understanding of how to collect primary data as a researcher in an urban area. The girls were impressed with the quality of the services they enjoyed. After data collection in the morning, they spent their lunch hour within the Westfield shopping centre, and in the afternoon continued with the work around Stratford. They conducted surveys and learnt about life within Carpenters estate and the East Village (formerly the athletes village). Lastly a walk through the Olympic Park helped them understand more about the quality of the green spaces and recreational activities on offer to residents. By the end of the day the benefits of the urban regeneration and intended legacy of London's 2012 Olympic games was very clear. They commented on the many people either cycling, walking or running throughout the day. They managed to walk an average of 13,000 steps too - an Olympian feat itself for a school day!

  • On Monday our u13s took part in the Kent school outdoor 8s competition where we played our first ever competitive cricket matches at DSTC. The girls were amazing they came up against really strong competition vs Chis and Sid, Langley school for Girls and Hundred of Hoo. As one of the only non-select schools we were more than up to the challenge. We took wickets in the games and dismissed girls who have played cricket all their lives. We also scored lots of runs. We didn't make it to the final but I know the girls had a great time and did the school proud. Next year we are going to win it!

  • Our annual 'Week of Culture' was once again an extra-special celebration of the diverse cultures across our school. This important event aims to further highlight and raise awareness of all cultures represented at DSTC, above and beyond our inclusivity each week. Students engaged with a form time activity to decorate a flag that will become part of a whole-school display. Students have also been submitting their recipes as part of a DSTC cultural cookbook. Our fantastic House Leaders have each delivered an assembly, celebrating talent across our form groups and a culture of the arts. Our school canteen, run by Independent Catering, offered a wide range of cultural food options across the week. Finally, Friday was our cultural dress day with students invited to wear clothes that are part of a culture they identify with.
