Wellbeing
We are committed to promoting and supporting the wellbeing of every individual by creating the school ethos of I CARE, where our school community (children, staff and parents) feels secure, and know that they are valued and encouraged in their learning, growth and social development.
At APS our role is to ensure that students and staff:
• Learn to maintain positive mental health, reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues, seek help and support if required
• Are equipped to cope with change and stress
• Empathize, respect and cooperate with all
• Are provided opportunities to develop professionally and personally
• Follow a zero tolerance bullying policy
• Balance their working lives with their personal needs and responsibilities
We aim to promote positive mental health for each child, parent and staff.
We want our school community to be confident enough to express themselves emotionally, while maintaining strong and positive relationships with peers.
Career Counselling
We aim to provide students with a strong foundation by guiding them through the transition from student to a young adult. Our career counsellors help students with doubts, concerns and questions. They even guide them through the university application process and support them as they make their final decisions.
