Parent Teacher Association (DCPTA)
The DC PTA (Parent Teacher Association) works to support and enrich the school life of students, parents and teachers at Discovery College.
This year, we’ll be organising various events and initiatives to enhance our students’ educational experiences and foster a sense of belonging. We invite you to participate actively, share your ideas, and contribute your talents to make this year exceptional.
Highlights from Last Year
Family Fun Day: A celebration featuring a Santa's grotto, a snow globe experience, crafts, international food, and fantastic performances, including a highlight where students got to sponge the teachers!
Gala Dinner: Co-hosted with DBIS, this themed evening, "A Night in Old Hong Kong," showcased student performances, a martial arts sword dance, and a delightful three-course dinner with dancing to a live band. This event was aimed at bringing the whole community together.
We also enjoyed monthly crafts with students, supported school activities like the Parents Information Fair, Primary Production, DP Art Exhibition, ACAMIS Halloween theme gala dinner, and hosted well-being and social events for our teaching staff, the highlight event was the end of year high tea which was enjoyed by all teaching and support staff, to show our appreciation for all they do for our children.
We were happy to fund all year groups' end of year parties, to help celebrate a wonderful year of learning. These events not only provided a wonderful opportunity for students to celebrate their achievements and friendships but also foster a sense of community and togetherness among families and staff.
Excitingly, three significant capital projects were completed in summer 2025: upgrades to our Gym equipment branding, the Language & Cultural Centre, and AV enhancements in the SSC.
We encourage your involvement in PTA activities—whether it’s volunteering at events, joining our committee, or becoming a class parent. Your contributions are invaluable.
