Student Support

Student Support - A Safe and Supportive Environment 

The Student Support team consists of the Secondary School Counsellors, EAL (English as an Additional Language) Teachers, Learning Support Teacher, and Student Support Teaching Assistants, and is led by the Student Support Coordinator. 

The Middle School and High School Counsellors support the social and emotional learning and well-being of all our students and staff. They create the advisory programme and organise assemblies. In addition, the High School Counselor also provides career and university counselling for our high school students. Furthermore, they also work with students as they join or leave our school in order to help them transition well. 

The Learning Support Team ensures access for all to rigorous content, an enriching curriculum and meaningful learning experiences. The Learning Support Team works closely with students, teachers, parents and administrators to provide ongoing support in creating equitable learning opportunities for all. 

The EAL Teachers teach English Acquisition classes for our English language learners. They also support the academic English language development of all our learners through co-teaching. The EAL Teachers also regularly monitor, track and report on the English language development of our multilingual learners. 

As a school, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all our students. 

Through the advisory programme, which focuses on building strong relationships between a small group of students with their advisory teacher, we aim to give every student the opportunity to connect with a trusted adult at school. The Advisory Teacher acts as an advocate for each student in their advisory. And, as such, the Advisory Teacher should always be the first point of call when challenges arise for a student. As parents, your first point of contact for general questions or concerns should also be your child’s Advisory Teacher.  

When dealing with disciplinary issues, we follow a "positive behaviour" approach at Panyaden. 

Positive Behaviour:

• • Is encouraged by kind and firm guidance.

  • Help students feel a sense of belonging and significance.

  • Is effective long-term.

  • Promotes and teaches valuable social and life skills.

  • Helps students develop a sense of being capable and collaborative.
