Form tutor in every class

At our international school in Rawang, Malaysia, students are supported by a dedicated form tutor who closely monitors their academic progress, personal growth and involvement in co-curricular activities. Through strong partnerships with families, form tutors provide consistent care, ensuring students feel valued and empowered to succeed.

What does our pastoral support look like?

Our counselling initiatives, led or supported by the school counsellor, promote wellbeing, inclusion and care, helping every student feel empowered, valued and ready to grow.

01
Friendship circles

Students build social-emotional skills in small group settings where they learn to communicate, manage emotions and form healthy relationships. These safe spaces encourage connection, conflict resolution and a sense of belonging.

02
Individual counselling sessions

At our international school in Selangor, students receive one-on-one emotional support tailored to their needs. Through confidential sessions they explore strategies to manage anxiety, stress, self-esteem and more, fostering resilience, self-awareness and early intervention.

03
Mental health & wellbeing talks

Students take part in engaging talks that promote mental health literacy and practical coping tools. These sessions normalise help-seeking, reduce stigma and encourage proactive, open conversations about wellbeing.

04
Parent & student resources

Families stay informed and supported through weekly wellbeing newsletters, school holiday guides and surveys that capture student voice. These tools strengthen home–school collaboration and ensure continuity of care.

05
Friendly Faces

Students lead with kindness as part of the Friendly Faces team, looking out for peers who may be alone. By inviting others to join games or conversations they create a culture of empathy, inclusion and peer-led support.

06
Counselling access: hall pass & walk-ins

Students can access emotional support whenever they need it. Through the use of hall passes in primary school and walk-ins in secondary school, students learn self-regulation and feel empowered to seek help in a safe and age-appropriate manner.

07
Celebrating kindness, culture & community

Students feel seen and valued through schoolwide celebrations like Kindness Week, cultural festivals and themed assemblies. These moments foster empathy, inclusion and joy, strengthening community spirit and mutual respect.

08
Student-led assemblies

Students take the lead by planning and presenting assemblies that reflect their ideas and experiences. This initiative builds confidence, communication skills and ensures all voices are heard in an inclusive school culture.

09
Student spotlight

At SIS Rawang, students are recognised for their unique talents and achievements beyond academics. By celebrating personal milestones, creative pursuits or community work we nurture self-worth and show that every success matters.

10
Wellbeing committee for staff

Staff wellbeing matters too. Our dedicated committee offers regular check-ins, optional mental health screenings and collaborative wellbeing initiatives, ensuring teachers feel supported and creating a healthy school environment for all.
