ABOUT WELLBEING

Childhood is an exceptionally significant period. Our purpose is to nurture joyful, well-rounded children who not only love learning but also love life. We believe that genuine happiness goes beyond mere contentment; it resides in understanding and nurturing our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By addressing the emotional, moral, physical, and social needs of our students, we empower them to thrive as confident, content individuals prepared to make meaningful contributions to the world. These formative years allow children to learn resilience and confidence.

Play, exercise, and learning are all vital components of overall well-being. Becoming self-aware, reflective young adults is crucial for self-regulation, sound decision-making, and teamwork. Our committed medical, teaching, pastoral, sports, and support staff work together to ensure the health and wellbeing of our students.

MEDICAL CARE AND COUNSELLING

With a dedicated school nurse available on-site, we offer comprehensive health services to all our students. Our nurse is equipped to provide first aid, care for minor ailments and illnesses, and assist students with chronic health conditions that require medication.

Additionally, our school counsellor and pastoral care teams diligently monitor each student, ensuring they are individually known and cared for. Counselling services are readily available to address a wide range of emotional support needs.

PERSONAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL EDUCATION

At our school, Personal Health and Social Education is a is designed to promote mental health and self-awareness, encouraging students to understand their emotions, strengths, and limitations. We believe in fostering healthy relationships and teaching accountability, instilling in our students the importance of respect, empathy, and responsibility. Our school values are not just words on a wall, but principles we live by, guiding our actions and decisions. We nurture the celebration of diversity, recognising that each student brings unique experiences and perspectives that enrich our community.

We encourage wise personal health choices, emphasising the importance of balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. We also equip our students with strategies to deal with stress and pressures in a healthy way, such as mindfulness techniques and time management skills. In essence, personal health and social education at our school is about nurturing healthy happy well-rounded individuals who are ready to face the world with confidence and compassion

SAFEGUARDING

Safeguarding is at the foundation of our pastoral care provision. We prioritise the safety and well-being of our students above all else, creating a secure and nurturing environment where they can flourish. Our comprehensive safeguarding policies and procedures are designed to protect students from all forms of harm, including physical, emotional, and psychological. Through rigorous training and ongoing education, our staff are equipped to recognise signs of distress and respond appropriately and effectively, ensuring that every student feels safe, supported, and able to thrive.

We promote open communication and transparency, encouraging students to voice any concerns they may have, knowing that they will be listened to in confidence and taken seriously. By fostering a culture of vigilance and care, we uphold our commitment to providing a nurturing and protective environment where students can reach their full potential. Our safer recruitment and child safeguarding policies ensure that the whole school community understand and apply safeguarding best practices.

SPORT AND ACTIVITIES

At Creators International School, we believe that sports and co-curricular activities play a crucial role in promoting overall health and well-being among our students. Engaging in physical activities not only keeps the body fit but also has very positive effects on mental health. Regular exercise helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.

Research shows that regular physical exercise enhances cognitive function. Through sports, students also learn teamwork, discipline, and resilience—essential life skills that contribute to their holistic development. Our experienced coaches and well-equipped facilities ensure that students have a fun and rewarding experience while staying active.

FOOD AND NUTRITION

Our dedicated catering staff takes pride in preparing wholesome and balanced meals for our students. Each day, our menus feature a variety of nutrient-rich options, including fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. We prioritise quality ingredients to ensure that students receive the essential vitamins and minerals they need for optimal health. Additionally, we recognise that sports and physical activities require sufficient energy.

Our meals provide the necessary fuel to enhance performance, endurance, and recovery. Proper nutrition also positively influences cognitive function, concentration, and memory. Well-nourished students experience fewer mood swings and better mental health. Eating together in our cafeteria not only fosters social interaction and a sense of belonging, but also teaches our students about good table manners and etiquette.

DIGITAL HEALTH

At Creators, we believe in leveraging technology to enhance teaching and learning while maintaining a balanced approach. As a no-mobile-phone school, we educate students about the risks of social media and how to navigate the digital world safely. Throughout our curriculum, students learn about appropriate technology use, setting healthy screen time limits, practicing good posture, and safeguarding privacy online. As a school we instil values-driven ethical behaviour, both online and in person, ensuring that our students navigate the digital landscape with integrity and respect.

Additionally, we recognise that being human extends beyond screens and devices. While technology plays a crucial role in our modern world, fostering healthy in-person relationships is equally vital. We encourage students to engage face-to-face, practice active listening, and build empathy. Whether collaborating on a project, sharing stories during lunch, or participating in group activities, these interactions contribute to emotional well-being and social growth. As part of our ‘digital health’ initiative, we emphasise the balance between online and offline connections.
