KCS CARES
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT – Form Teacher Guidance Period, Form Teacher Interaction – SLs, Year Heads, Discipline Master, Allied Educators (Teaching and Learning, Learning & Behavioural) & Senior School Counsellor meet regularly to look into the welfare of the students with learning, disciplinary & behavioural needs, such as: – ADHD – Dyslexia – Autism * If you require assistance, please contact your child’s Form Teacher & Mrs Sharon Wong (P1 Asst Year Head)
School Counselling @ KCS • Sometimes children and their families might need extra support if they are finding it difficult to manage their emotions, behaviour or relationships with peers , teachers or even parents • Counselling support for these children has many benefits, they include – Relief from ongoing feelings of distress (sadness, anger, worry, frustration) – Problem behaviours may be reduced or eliminated – Learning to identify and express feelings in healthy ways, which are often at the root of challenging behaviours – Discovering existing strengths from which improved self- esteem can be build upon – Improved school performance and peer relationships – Opportunity for strengthening of the parent-child relationship – Reduced stress in family communication and interactions

HOME-SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP
SUPPORT YOUR CHILD • Set reasonable goals with him/her • Focus on developing your child’s strengths • Emphasise the learning process instead of exam results • Avoid comparing your child’s performance with that of others • Learn to let go so that your child can learn to be independent • Encourage friendship 34
SUPPORT YOUR CHILD • Help your child establish a daily routine • Check your child’s daily homework • Check your child’s handbook. • If your child is expected to stay in school, a letter will be issued. • Emphasise the importance of education – the learning of all subjects (Build the foundation) • Reinforce the values taught in school • Communicate with teachers (Email, handbook, parents’ engagement platforms etc)
