Middle School - Student Support Services

Our goal is to help students become world-class citizens both academically and in their Christian character.
Our services cover all aspects of support and guidance for the problems that typically confront young people today:

Counselling and pastoral care

This is a Bible-based confidential counselling service that helps students deal with the problems associated with adolescence and the stresses of school and family life. It deals with issues caused by stress and change, such as academic difficulties, family issues, mental health, emotional and sexual concerns, and physical issues such as substance abuse and eating disorders.

Help is provided in the form of individual and group counselling. In the case of more serious problems recommendations will be made to parents to help them seek professional advice and treatment.

Welfare and advice

Our welfare service provides information about student grants, loans and scholarships, as well as information about overseas education services.

Career counselling

We identify a student’s aptitude and ambitions, and provide guidance on career opportunities through our internal services and a programme of seminars run by outside consultants.

Talent and skill development

Academic development is assisted by examination strategy training and tutorial group activities, whilst non academic development is nurtured through a programme that includes music, fine art and performing arts. These are supplemented by the provision of leadership and character building.

Discipleship services

These include community cell groups, one-to-one mentoring, outreach ministries and IGCSE Biblical Studies. There is also a diploma programme run in association with a regional seminary.

Physical and personality development

The physical development programme covers a wide range of sports and physical training including basketball, soccer, badminton, swimming, golf, volleyball, tennis, aerobics and weight-management training.

The personality development programme includes training seminars on self-esteem and self-confidence, image and dressing, public speaking and personal communication, protocol and social etiquette.
