Wellbeing and Inclusivity FAQs

Our well-being programme is a structured, school-wide initiative that supports students’ social, emotional, moral and physical flourishing. It integrates into the curriculum and everyday life of the school to ensure that all students feel safe, valued and empowered.

Students in our programs benefit from carefully designed experiences for each age group, fostering social-emotional growth, ethical awareness, and character development. Juniors join Escola de Girafa, Teens participate in Venha ser Girafa!, and High School students engage in Project Vital, each tailored to their developmental stage.

In today’s fast-moving world, academic achievement is only one dimension of success. We believe that developing resilience, empathy, self-awareness, and healthy habits is just as critical for students to thrive and become responsible global citizens.

As children grow up increasingly connected to digital devices, especially mobile phones, it becomes essential to guide them in finding a healthy balance. Understanding and communicating the importance of reducing screen time helps promote meaningful social interactions, physical activity, and emotional well-being - all key aspects of a holistic education.

 

Every student – from Early Years through High School – is included. The programme is adapted for each age group to meet students where they are in their development.

Examples include:

  • Workshops and lessons on social-emotional skills (e.g., empathy, communication, self-regulation)
  • Activities integrated into the school curriculum to ensure consistent learning and practice of these skills
  • Peer & mentor opportunities
  • Structured reflection and inquiry-based projects
  • Healthy lifestyle education (nutritional awareness, physical activity, rest)
  • Restorative practices and conflict-resolution strategies
  • Whole-school culture initiatives to reinforce values of respect, gratitude and community.

Our well-being programme is rooted in our core values - International, Caring, Bilingual, Innovative, Unique. These values underpin everything we do, shaping how students learn, relate to others and engage with the world.

Families are partners. We communicate regularly about the programme’s themes and progress, fostering a strong connection between school and home. We promote in-person workshops with renowned professionals such as Dr. Cristiano Nabuco and Dr. Miriam Rodrigues, offering valuable insights into child development and well-being. We also encourage meaningful conversations at home that reinforce students’ growth, and we welcome feedback to continually adapt and strengthen the initiative.

Progress is measured through observations, self-reflections, student-led portfolios, teacher/mentor check-ins and whole-school climate surveys. The goal is growth rather than grading - we look at how students apply competencies and values in real situations, not only academic results.

We have dedicated wellbeing staff (counsellors, mentors) who collaborate with teachers, parents and students. If we identify a student needing more help - emotionally, socially or physically - we develop a personalised support plan with consent from parents/guardians.

We send regular updates via the parent portal, newsletters and invite families to events and information sessions. You can also schedule meetings with your child’s mentor or our wellbeing team anytime.
