Dear Families,
We are excited to announce the return of our Bamboo Buddies programme. This fun programme is open to children aged 24 to 36 months and is ideal for those applying to Foundation Stage 1 (FS-1) who have paid the application fee and will be joining in August 2025. The programme encompasses a playgroup, book club and Mandarin toddler talk. It’s a great opportunity for children to experience the learning environment, make friends before joining DBIS next year and access the school’s fantastic facilities and wide range of resources for young children. One adult should accompany each participating child. There are a limited number of 12 places per session. These will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
