SEL is embedded in the KISC Primary Curriculum. Language Skills and PSHE are taught as part of everyday learning. The curriculum intentionally combines academics with social and emotional learning to help students collaborate, disagree respectfully and take responsibility for their own learning. Pastoral Care provides ongoing encouragement, support and guidance across the whole school community. The program aims to create a safe, trusting environment, promote positive student interactions, and help students develop personal, social, and emotional skills.
Student Support exists to assist all students across the Primary and Secondary Schools, focusing on different learning styles and requirements. An Individualised Education Plan (IEP) is developed for students referred to the Faculty. If a student has suspected Specific Learning Difficulties, a diagnostic assessment is offered to inform the IEP. There are current site and staffing limitations that prevent accommodating students with physical disabilities or severe learning disabilities.
Health & well-being include a school doctor on site every school day who provides health services and health education. Trained first aiders are available on site for immediate care. Covid protocols apply for positive cases or close contacts. Pastoral Care focuses on encouraging and supporting students, maintaining a safe and trusting environment, and fostering positive interaction among students.
