At St. Andrews Sukhumvit 107, holistic education is at the heart of everything we do and this includes prioritising our students’ mental health.
For us, promoting mental well-being isn’t just an initiative—it’s a fundamental part of our school values. With an emphasis on open communication and inclusivity, we encourage students to build strong connections with their peers, parents, and staff.
By fostering a culture that values both emotional and academic growth, we help children thrive in all aspects of their lives.
Mental Health Resources in St. Andrews Sukhumvit
Our school’s social and emotional counsellor operates with an open-door policy, encouraging any child to seek support without hesitation. These services are available to all students—not just those facing major challenges. Whether it’s a listening ear or answering questions, our counsellor is here to help.
Children can access individual or group counselling. Individual sessions provide privacy, while group sessions foster growth through shared activities that enhance emotional intelligence.
These services, along with our integrated support systems, create a safe space for emotional growth, helping students develop skills to maintain a healthy mindset.
Exploring St. Andrews Sukhumvit’s Well-Being Programmes
At St. Andrews S107, we take a holistic approach to mental health, focusing on addressing emotional challenges while also promoting overall well-being. Our well-being programmes are designed to help children build a strong sense of self, develop emotional resilience, and cultivate physical health and meaningful social connections.
These initiatives encourage positive habits that empower children to manage stress and make mindful decisions in their daily lives.
Some of the key activities we offer include:
- Fun Run and Daily Exercises
- Yoga, Breathing, and Meditation Classes
- Sporting Events
- Well-being Support for Parents
- Cognita Global Be Well Day (Annual Well-being Event)
- And many more exciting activities to come!
Our well-being initiatives work hand in hand with our mental health resources to create a comprehensive support system for our students. Our goal is not only to help children manage stress and prevent burnout, but also to address potential issues early, before they escalate.
How We Help Children Adjust to a New School Environment
At our school, we understand that adjusting to a new environment can be challenging, especially for children from diverse backgrounds. That’s why we use a structured “Assess, Plan, Do, Review” approach to help children navigate these transitions.
Whether the challenge is adapting to the new setting or aligning with their current needs, our Learning Support Department is dedicated to helping every child overcome obstacles. Our support assistants work closely with classroom teachers, and when needed, we bring in external therapists for additional assistance.
How Can You, as a Parent, Take Part in These Initiatives?
At S107, we believe that parental involvement is key to supporting mental health and well-being. We understand how important it is for parents to model and reinforce the value of mental health for their children.
To help you stay informed, we offer workshops and presentations on relevant mental health topics. This allows you to be an active part of your child’s support system. Our teachers also keep the lines of communication open, regularly updating you on your child’s progress in the classroom. This partnership ensures your child receives consistent care, both at school and at home.
If additional support is needed, we’re here to help connect your family with professionals. We can refer you to a therapist or other community resources. By working together, we create a supportive environment that benefits not only your child, but the entire S107 community.
Invest in Your Child’s Mental and Emotional Health
At St. Andrews Sukhumvit 107, we prioritise mental health and well-being. We provide counselling and a variety of resources to help students address the challenges that affect their emotional and mental state.
We also offer initiatives, like teaching breathing exercises, to help prevent academic burnout and promote overall well-being.
We believe in the importance of involving parents in this process and encourage them to nurture the value of mental health in their children.
Together, these efforts support our students in developing the skills to manage and take charge of their emotions.
If you have any lingering questions, please do not hesitate to send us an enquiry. If you’re keen to show our campus to your child, you may opt to book a campus tour so we can show you our school’s amenities in person. As an alternative, you may also watch our virtual tours (this is often the ideal option for parents with extremely busy schedules). We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our campus!
