Well-being at ISCS: Cultivating a Culture of Care and Growth
As part of our commitment to nurturing our student’s overall growth, ISCS has incorporated a number of programmes in place to foster our students' overall wellbeing, leading to a rich culture of care on campus. Evidence supports schools focusing on the health and wellbeing of children as a clear indicator that this improves academic accomplishment, whilst also helping them to live well. At the heart of creating a culture that nourishes both wellbeing and academic achievement, we value human relationships above all else. When we create relationships with our students that are warm, empathetic and encouraging, our students are more likely to thrive.
ISCS regularly offers mindfulness and wellbeing activities for our students. This helps train one’s attention to be more aware of what is happening, rather than worrying about what has happened or might happen. By being mindful, we learn to bring greater curiosity to whatever it is we experience. ‘Well-Being Wednesdays’ initiative at ISCS aims to promote the mental and emotional wellness of our students. Students at ISCS focus on a different well-being theme each week centred around classroom activities, open dialogues and practical outdoor activities.
