DBIS CELEBRATING 40 YEARS

Discovery Bay International School (DBIS) is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, a milestone that is set to be marked with a glittering ball at the Auberge Discovery Bay on February 11. The event will be a wonderful celebration of DBIS’ journey from its original cohort of three students and three staff in January 1983 to a community in its thousands.

In other news, DBIS welcomed Marc Morris as its new Head of School in January. Taking over from former head Stuart Bridge, who expertly guided the school for three and a half years, Marc joins DBIS from Jumeirah College, Dubai, bringing with him 40 years’ experience in the education sector. Originally from the UK, Marc is no stranger to Hong Kong, having previously spent six years as Principal of Sha Tin College. With a resume that includes headteacher roles in the UK and Asia, as well as three years as Chief Education Officer for Dulwich College International, Marc has a track record of academic excellence, while being a strong advocate for extracurricular activities.
