About Us

On Thursday, 27 August from 4.00pm - 7.30pm, Discovery College will be hosting its annual Parent Information Fair. 

For those who are new to the college, the Parent Information Fair is a very important date on our calendar for all parents, whether you have been at DC for several years, or are brand new. 

This evening is for parents only and is an important time to meet your child's teachers, to ask questions and to find out more about what the year has in store. 

An overview of the evening is available on our Parent Information Fair Website.

We look forward to making you welcome on campus on 27 August and appreciate you making time to engage with us at the start of the academic year. 

Further information will be shared with you closer to the event, for now please save the date!

A few highlights from last year's Parent Information Fair.

Registration for our upcoming activities begins on Friday, 28 August through the Ding! module on the ESF App. Ahead of this date, we are excited to introduce a significant enhancement to our co-curricular resources. Our previous handbook has been transformed into a dynamic, interactive CCA & Cobra Sports Information page, now easily accessible through the Parent Portal.

Enhanced Features

• Customised Filtering: Navigate extracurricular options effortlessly by filtering according to your child’s year level, personal interests, and weekly schedule.

• Comprehensive Activity Profiles: Discover a detailed breakdown of each sport, club, and ensemble to ensure an informed choice before the enrolment period opens.

• Centralised Hub: Find everything in one place, from enrolment instructions and key dates to bus registration and cancellation policies.

We invite you to visit the Parent Portal to explore these interactive resources and begin a collaborative journey of planning your child's upcoming term.

Year 5 had a wonderful time visiting our Culture Museum, which was the provocation for our ‘Who We Are’ unit of inquiry. The children explored and celebrated the many diverse cultures represented across our school community and around the world. They enjoyed learning about Manx myths, discovering how to write their names in Thai, and making shortbreak cookies, among many other learning engagements.

Here are the Library days for your children in Primary this year. Library bags will need to be brought in on that day and all books returned to the blue book return boxes in the main foyer during arrival at school. If you have any questions please contact library@dc.edu.hk or speak with our PYP Teacher Librarian Ms Louise Mills (millsl3@dc.edu.hk).

Do you play an instrument or sing and want to join a music ensemble at Discovery College? The music department is excited to offer the following opportunities to perform with ensembles here at DC. 

Music Ensembles will continue to run as a CCA activity. Music Ensembles will run for 20 academic weeks from 14 September 2026 - 23 March 2027 and culminate in an Ensemble Evening on the 23rd. Please note that ensemble dates are independent to regular CCA dates.

What are the benefits of being a member of an ensemble? You can meet new like-minded musicians and it is a fun opportunity to extend yourself on your instrument or voice. You will get to perform together at our Ensemble Evening concert and gain access to ESF-wide ensemble opportunities. You also develop a number of life skills such as teamwork, discipline, organisation, listening skills and ensemble musicianship. This is also a point of difference you can include in future University applications or part of your CE, CAS.
