Pastoral Support

What is Pastoral Support?

The Pastoral Support Coordinators provide a total and holistic welfare and growth of the students, individually and as a group. Not only are they committed to academic excellence, but also to social, moral, and emotional excellence. They aim to foster CES’s core values of being moral and ethical, engaged learners, and global citizens, in addition to community responsibility, mutual respect, self-efficacy, reflection, resilience, and compassion.

Our Mission:

As a Pastoral Support Team, we are fully invested in our students’ mental health. We provide social and emotional support for all current CES students who may benefit from it, as well as focus on their non-academic development. This is for the betterment of the students in becoming well-rounded individuals who are to make the most out of their experience at CES.

Our Vision:

We want to see our students aware of their own and others’ mental health. Our goal is to help CES become a launching board for our students to make a difference in their homes and communities.

Behaviour

Our Aims

At the Cairo English School we aim to :

Prepare our students for adult life and enable them to become responsible, reliable, valuable and valued citizens.
Produce reflective individuals who show kindness and respect for others.
Develop our students’ ability to function as contributing members of cooperative groups and teams.
Enable our students to work independently and with self discipline.
Enable our students to develop satisfactory personal relationships.

Our Values

At the Cairo English School, we recognise and promote the values of :

Honesty.
Trust.
Coooperation, responsibility and solidarity.
Tolerance.
Respect for oneself, others and the environment.

These values and the School Mission & Vision Statements provide the ethos for the standards of behaviour we expect throughout the School.

We believe that the development of self control and self discipline and an acceptance of responsibility are essential to maintain a happy atmosphere. These qualities also enable individuals to grow. We value greatly the need to develop politeness, good manners and punctuality.

Teachers treat students with consideration and respect. As a result, we believe that students will learn to respect themselves, each other and the environment. We strongly believe in the promotion of tolerance for every individual’s race, gender, religion, age, lifestyle and point of view.

Teachers are consistent and diligent in encouraging positive attitudes and acceptable standards of behaviour.

We recognise the importance of rewarding positive behaviour as well as the need to punish behaviour which is unacceptable.

In order to provide a safe and orderly atmosphere and environment, a number of rules and routines are required of which students must be aware and teachers will enforce in a fair and consistent way.

We recognise the importance of rewarding positive behaviour as well as the need to punish behaviour which is unacceptable.
