We are delighted to welcome you, and your child, to Grade 3 at UWCSEA Dover for what promises to be a fulfilling and enriching year. Supporting your child's social and emotional needs is key to a successful year and the Grade 3 team works hard, both individually and collaboratively, to ensure that each child develops in a safe, secure, fun and motivating learning environment.
There will be a number of opportunities for you to be involved in supporting your child's learning through Mystery Reader, our Arts Festival, iTime and more. Learning works best when it is a partnership, and I would encourage you to ask your child about their school day and support them in ensuring that routines are established and maintained.
There is never a quiet week at UWCSEA and some of the exciting experiences that await your child include the Arts Festival, science-based days, the Water Warriors Carnival, author visits, days of sport and the UN Food Festival to name but a few. This year, due to the restrictions placed on us by COVID-19, the Outdoor Education department are planning an exciting alternative which will replace our normal trip to Malaysia. Local field trips are similarly in doubt and we will keep parents informed as the situation develops.
Communication is essential to ensure that each day runs smoothly for your child. We will keep you informed with day-to-day news and special events in a number of ways. The Friday eBrief is essential reading each week and, in addition, there is a Grade 3 blog, which will have regular curriculum updates and a class blog. We will also email, call or put a note in your child’s organiser for anything more urgent.
To get started at UWCSEA, please visit the 'Resources for all families' page on this website and purchase uniforms from the College Shop online shop.
The first day of school for all students will be on Tuesday, 18 August.

Grade 3 Orientation schedule – Monday, 17 August
Grade 3 Orientation schedule – Monday, 17 August
Important note: Only one parent per child is allowed on campus for orientation
We know this is not ideal but it means we can have you on the campus if we do it this way. We are permitted 50 people at each venue, including the presenter and so by limiting numbers to one parent per child, we can have you physically on the campus so that you can see your child’s room and so that the children get to spend 45 minutes with their new teacher before the rest of the class join on Tuesday, August 18. If you have two children joining the school, both parents can come (it is one parent per child, not one parent per family). It is crucially important to the compliance of the event that we stick to these numbers please.
