Space for Well-Being
PASTORAL CARE
Emotional stability is a vital ingredient for balanced growth
and progress. Each wing in the two dormitories has its own Dorm
Parent who provides mentoring, emotional security and counsel to
the boarders. The Pastoral Coordinator has over 30 years
experience as a boarding school matron and has tackled most of
the problems generally faced by students living away from home.
Resident AVRS teachers have their living quarters adjacent to
the Dormitories and serve as Dorm Parents; they are accessible
to the students at all times. Students usually have a tight
schedule, which does not normally allow for Homesickness to
overcome them; but when it does happen, the Dorm Parents counsel
and support them through this period.
Contact time between students and dorm parents is available
every week, to sort out or discuss important issues. The AVRS
children are well cared for and our teachers ensure they deal
with all the problems and help them adapt to the dormitory
environment effortlessly.
