Welcome to Dongdaewon 2019!

Welcome to Dongdaewon 2019! 

It's our 20th year partnering with Eugene Bell this year and it has started with a bang.  Our fundraising period will run from Feb 8th - Mar 22nd. 

Friday 8th, and Saturday 9th February launched Dongdaewon in Robb Hall, with our staff panto 'Captain Hook's Revenge' by Richard Coleman. Faculty braved the cold to come to rehearsals from November. It was in full swing after the Christmas vacation. I hear the rehearsals were as much fun and filled with hilarity as the actual performances. The Admin team joined the cast, showcasing their talents as BTS (a famous Korean Kpop band, along with their stylist).

Tristan, Justyna and Adam (keeping it in family)!

It does take a village to create a panto here at SFS and in true Edie Moon style, she directed the cast, producing an outstanding, fun filled, 2 1/2 hrs of laughter, entertainment and community building. Thank you to everyone who contributed by attending, helping out front stage, backstage and on stage. You guys were amazing. The exact amount raised is yet to be confirmed, but is looking to be over 10 million won. Good efforts everyone.

Dongdaewon T.shirts/Sweatshirts were also launched at this year's panto. We had a lot of entries, from all sections of our school. Congratulations to Skylar Won (Grade 8) and Alin Sung (Grade 9).

Check out the winning designs. 

T.shirts and Sweatshirts will be available in each section of the school before and after school.

T.shirts - 16,000 won

Sweatshirts - 35,000 won.

This is a fantastic fundraiser.

It is with sadness that Shamograms will not be a part of this year's fundraising drive. It has been a big part of our Dongdaewon fundraising for the past 20 years, thanks to Kate Gray and her team of mischievous leprechauns.  The school is trying to take a healthier stance and felt that giving a lot of chocolate bars to each other wasn't supporting that.  So watch this space ... as each section creates new initiatives this year.
