Welcome to Grade 4 at UWCSEA Dover. Grade 4 is an exciting and challenging year for our students. Our primary goal is to create a motivated community of learners, and an integral part of this includes building the confidence and self-esteem of the students as well as fostering their social development along the way.
We have a wonderful team of teachers whose primary aim is to help your child be successful. Your child's achievements both inside and outside school will be celebrated in class and during grade assemblies – each teacher has their own system in place to encourage and support your child every step of the way.
Some of the exciting experiences that await your child include our Science Dissection Day, Bali Bridges Dance-a-thon, Arts festival performance, International Food Festival, Days of Sport on the field and in the swimming pool; we will have an exciting Outdoor Education Programme to replace our normal overseas expedition, which has been affected by the COVID-19 situation. Local field trips are similarly in doubt and we will keep parents informed as the situation develops.
Communication between you and your child's classroom teacher will be crucial for a successful year. The team uses a variety of tools to keep parents in touch, including Seesaw, emails and the eBrief. There is also a wealth of detail on our Grade 4 learning programme provided on the website portal.
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.
Snack and/or lunch orders for G2–G4 students can be placed online. Please log in to the parent portal (see login details sent 5 August) and click 'Top Up Campus Card' under 'My Bookmarks' to place your order. Read more on the Food Services page on the portal.

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.
