#Something Brilliant
Small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
Our children at Dolphin have been living out our Christian values by generously donating food to the Wandsworth Foodbank, sharing in a special assembly to reflect on the impact of their giving and exploring how we can care for others and the world around us.
Inspired by the message that we are called to love our neighbours and serve those in need, our Year 4 children then rolled up their sleeves to pack the donations ready to be sent to the foodbank warehouse.
We are so proud of the compassion, thoughtfulness and generosity shown by our children. They remind us that even the smallest acts of kindness can bring hope, make a difference and help build a world where everyone feels cared for.
“Love your neighbour as yourself.” Mark 12:31

Love. Wisdom. Truth.
More than a song. More than a competition. A whole lot of joy.
Our children are deep in the throes of preparing for next Thursday’s House Music Competition, and the excitement is beginning to bubble over!
There’s the singing, the rehearsing, the choreography, the refining and, of course, the anticipation. But the real magic lies in everything happening between the notes.
Older and younger children finding their voices together. Confidence growing. Friendships forming. Laughter filling the room. Children learning to listen, encourage, collaborate and express themselves as part of something bigger than themselves.
And the benefits? Abundant. Singing brings joy, supports wellbeing, builds confidence and creates a powerful sense of belonging. It gives children a shared language, a space to be heard and the freedom to discover what they can achieve together...a hallmark of Dolphin life!
Because sometimes, the most meaningful part of a performance isn’t what happens on stage. It’s what grows in the lead-up: connection, courage, community and joy.
We can’t wait to see and hear it all come together next Thursday!
Love. Wisdom. Truth.
