At Soi 31 Secondary, Positive Education is built into the daily timetable, with regular sessions on bullying, resilience, goal setting, cyber safety and positive psychology led by teachers. Primary (Years 1–6 at Soi 31) delivers a Health & Wellbeing program that explicitly teaches social skills, resilience and optimism, with monthly assemblies reinforcing protective behaviours. The Secondary page further notes a scope-and-sequenced Positive Education curriculum taught regularly. School-wide Student Support Services emphasise personal growth and socio-emotional development alongside academics. These provisions apply to students educated on the Soi 31 campus (Foundation–Year 12).
AISB provides Learning Support that includes targeted 1:1, small-group and in-class support, Individual Learning Plans, and collaboration with parents and teachers; these services are available to Soi 31 students. The Access and Inclusion program supports students with identified learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia) and, where appropriate, coordinates with external specialists such as speech and occupational therapists. Guiding principles include confidentiality and a strengths-based approach. The website describes SEN as support within AISB’s mainstream provision rather than a specialist SEN school.
There is a full-time EAL teacher on each campus, including Soi 31, who assesses learners, plans curriculum-aligned support with homeroom teachers and families, and exits students when they reach independent English proficiency. Provision includes Regular EAL (3 sessions/week) and Intensive EAL (5 sessions/week), each 45 minutes with a maximum of 6 students per class. Instruction starts with a focus on spoken language and progresses toward more written-like language as skills develop.
Primary students at Soi 31 receive explicit instruction in health literacy, emotional wellbeing and protective behaviours through the Health program and monthly assemblies. Secondary embeds Positive Education daily, addressing age-specific issues such as bullying and cyber safety. The Soi 31 Secondary Highfield building includes a Nurses Room and a Student Counsellor’s Room, supporting on-site wellbeing. Outdoor Education and service learning in Secondary further develop empathy, leadership and teamwork. Student Support Services frame socio-emotional development as a core element alongside academics.
The school does not publicly disclose specific safeguarding or child protection policies on its website.
