Pastoral
Counselling
This year, our in-house
pastoral counselors have
made significant contributions
to the well-being of the school
community through a variety
of initiatives. With regular one-
on-one sessions, the
psychologists have provided
students with personalized
emotional support, while
regular parent meetings have
fostered collaborative efforts
to address student needs.
Teacher training workshops
focused on mindful emotional
expression and classroom
management have empowered
educators to create more
emotionally aware learning
environments. Additionally,
the psychologist led several
seminars on stress
management and emotional
regulation, and introduced
newly added well-being
classes, which have become an
integral part of the curriculum,
promoting mental health and
resilience throughout the
school.
