- Podcast: A Conversation with Our Head of College
Our Head of College, Alison Derbyshire, recently joined Oppidan Education on their podcast to share her journey from Auckland to Seoul by way of China and the lessons she has learned along the way.
Alison reflects on what drives our community at Dulwich College Seoul, a commitment to academic rigour alongside a deep belief in student wellbeing. She speaks about the need to move beyond the pursuit of perfection and how we can personalise success and learning, celebrating students not for their numbers but for the growth and purpose they discover along the way.
And if you listen closely, you will even hear stories from Alison’s own school days, from the teachers who inspired her favourite subject to the joy she found on the football pitch and what made her happiest at 12 years old. It is a conversation full of heart, honesty and hope for the future of education.
Thank you to Walter Kerr and Oppidan Education for the thoughtful conversation.
