Congratulations,Class of 2025!
As the academic year draws to a close, last week, we gather as a community to celebrate one of the most anticipated and meaningful milestones in the Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi calendar: Graduation. This year, our celebrations were marked by tradition, joy, and a deep sense of belonging, reminding us that while graduation is a personal achievement, it is also a day of collective pride for our entire College community.
A Night to Remember：Graduation Dinner at the Peace Hotel
Our festivities began with an unforgettable Graduation Dinner at the iconic Peace Hotel. The grandeur of the venue, steeped in Shanghai’s rich history, provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of reflection and celebration. Surrounded by family, friends, and staff, our graduates shared laughter, memories, and aspirations for the future. It was a night that beautifully captured the spirit of Dulwich: tradition, excellence, and togetherness.
The Alleynian Walk: A Walk of Honour
One of the most cherished traditions at Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi is the Alleynian Walk - a symbolic journey through our campus. As our graduates made their way, they were cheered on by students from Toddler to Year 12, staff, and parents alike. The Alleynian Walk is more than a procession; it is a powerful reminder that each graduate is part of a vibrant, supportive community that spans generations. The joy and pride on the faces of our youngest students as they applauded their older peers was truly heartwarming, reinforcing the sense of unity that defines our College.
The Graduation Ceremony：Marking New Beginnings
The formal Graduation Ceremony was a moment of reflection and anticipation. As each graduate crossed the stage, we celebrated not only their academic achievements but also their growth as compassionate, globally-minded individuals. This milestone marks the culmination of years of hard work, curiosity, and resilience - and the beginning of exciting new journeys.
Personal Pathways and A Global Network
Our graduates now embark on diverse and inspiring pathways, heading to top universities around the world to pursue their passions in fields ranging from engineering to the arts. They leave us as confident, capable young adults, ready to make a positive difference in the world. Importantly, they do so as members of the Worldwise Alumni Network - a global community of Dulwich graduates who support, inspire, and connect with one another across continents and careers. In joining this network, our graduates are truly part of something bigger: a lifelong community that extends well beyond the walls of our College.
A Day for Us All
While graduation is a deeply personal milestone for each student, it is also a day of celebration for our whole community. It is a testament to the dedication of our teachers, the unwavering support of our families, and the strength of our College spirit. To our graduates: we are incredibly proud of you. Wherever your journey takes you next, you will always have a home at Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi!
