DBS DENLA BRITISH SCHOOL - a Strong Community Launches the “DBS

Stronger Together” Campaign in a Joint Collaboration to fight the

effects of the COVID-19 Virus

 

 

Since the start of the Covid-19 virus outbreak at the beginning of this year, teachers, students, parents, staff, and the management team of DBS Denla British School (a leading international school that bases its teaching on the British independent school curriculum located on Ratchapruek Road) have collaboratively joined forces to overcome the crisis with the DBS Stronger Together campaign. It was initiated to draw on the school’s collective strength in the well-being of its community.

 

The school’s safe environment contributes towards overall well-being

 

Under the DBS Stronger Together campaign, teachers and staff collaborated to create video clips to provide encouragement, such as when the Music Department entertained students who have to study online at home, or when the Nursing team produced a video clip to demonstrate on how to wash hands properly. The Thai Language Department encouraged everyone to greet each other with a ‘Wai’ instead of shaking hands, and other departments have gathered together to send heart-warming good wishes to the DBS community.

 

Academic excellence must continue, albeit in a different format

 

DBS has provided a full range of online distance learning courses since the school was temporarily closed. The advantages of this type of learning, are that the students have more opportunity to practise their own learning, become more self-disciplined, and be responsible as independent learners. The students must be able to help themselves as much as possible, which is a crucial life skill that is required when they further progress to study at university level. The key to providing an effective distance learning programme is a team of skilled teachers. Teachers are not only responsible for teaching, but will also be required to provide assistance and motivation to all of their students to reach their set goals, while parents also become more involved with their children’s studies.

 

"Soon we will meet again", is the phrase that is on everyone's mind at DBS. DBS laid out a schooling plan in order to continue to promote academic excellence for its students. At the same time, students must also be able to experience enjoyment in order for them to be able to cope with the situation and attain well-being similar to actually being at the school, in accordance to the school’s main objective of “Nurturing Global Leaders”.
