Our Own English High School, Sharjah
 

Pastoral Care

Our school is a home away from home for all our students. Each student is provided with additional support in a caring and loving environment along with the individual attention of the teachers.

We understand that each child is unique and has individual strengths and weaknesses.  The additional mentoring by teachers and support classes conducted in different subjects promote a healthy atmosphere and platform for children to explore their potential and recognise their limits on their own.

Mentor System

Students' Meeting


The school pursues a very successful mentor system that is given even greater emphasis in the senior years. Teachers assume the role of a ‘Mentor’ and accept responsibility for the academic and extra-curricular performance of a small group of students.  They maintain close contact with parents, facilitating regular communication about their child’s welfare and provide a motivational atmosphere to students to explore their full potential.

Student Council Meeting


The House System led by the Student Council headed by the Head Boy and Head Girl ensures that each student feels a part of the family in the school. The House System contains four houses named after the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Mars.

Each house is headed by a House Master/House Mistress and a House Captain. Every student of the school is a member of one of the houses. Inter-house activities promote a healthy feeling of competition, a sense of loyalty and team spirit along with nurturing the talents and capabilities of each student in the field of academics, performing arts, sports and other extra curricular activities.

Behavioural Counselling
A healthy mind and a healthy body is the bottom line for success.
Our counselling services help students to understand and deal with social, behavioural and personal problems. Preventive and developmental counselling provides students with the life skills needed to deal with problems before they occur and enhance students’ personal, social academic growth.

Through counselling, students are helped to explore possibilities, focus on their growth and act on achieving them. From the academic year 2005-’06, a Developmental Guidance Curriculum has been introduced starting from Grade 6 upwards.

The behavioural counselling programme involves individual counselling and group counselling and works on a variety of issues such as self esteem, dealing with peer pressure, coping with examination pressures to help students understand themselves and their environments in a better way.
