I would like to thank the entire school for creating the wonderful school environment that has so enriched my childrens' way of thinking and their attitude towards life and learning. Their three years spent at The British School has strengthened their foundations in all aspects of the curriculum and has also given them the environment to grow in a multi-cultural diversity that can truly contribute to making them global citizens.
Each child has access to the Primary School Counsellor who is the designated Child Protection Officer. Mrs Renuka Dutta fulfils professional responsibilities in relation to child protection and school counselling programmes through responsive services. The school aims to establish and maintain a safe environment; to raise awareness of “ Child Protection” issues and to ensure students know that there are adults in the school whom they may approach if they are worried.
Children at risk of suffering significant harm or experiencing a wide variety of problems such as aggression, low self-esteem, anxiety, school refusal, fearfulness, poor attention span, social withdrawal, physical/sexual abuse, friendship issues, bereavement, depression or relocation, benefit when they have a special playtime or talk time with the school counsellor.
Mrs. Dutta provides individual and small group counselling sessions, conducts classroom guidance lessons, undertakes psycho-educational testing (as required), and acts as a consultant and a referral source between school, parents and the community.
She is available at the Counsellor’s Office on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
To contact her directly, please email r.dutta@british-school.org.
The school also ensures that it practices safe recruitment of staff; develop and then implement procedures; support students who have been abused; include opportunity in the PSHE curriculum to raise awareness and ensure the policy is implemented in a culturally sensitive fashion.
