Pastoral Care

Pastoral care is a student-centered service which has been embedded into our school philosophy from day one. We educate our students in a thriving environment of serenity and care and encourage appreciation and respect towards all living things. We endeavour to provide a balanced education that encompasses academic excellence on the one hand, and moral and ethical values on the other. With all our projects and programs, we aim to promote our students' personal and social development and foster positive attitudes in our school setting.

All our staff are committed to providing such a holistic and enriching education experience to all our students. Some of our teachers additionally dedicate their time and efforts on a voluntary basis to organise and run weekly programs for our students as part of our pastoral care services. These programs may include homework/study sessions, personal development/leadership focused discussions, social, sports and skills-based activities and more.

The details of our 2019 weekly program, including the teachers who will be responsible for the individual year levels, has been provided below. We encourage all our students and their parents to keep an eye out for these programs and maintain active communication with these teachers to make the most of the opportunities available.
