The school’s Pastoral Care programme, led by a dedicated pastoral team, provides every student with a Personal Tutor, access to emotional-guidance counsellors, learning-support staff, and an on-site Health Centre. This network ensures tailored support for academic, social and emotional needs.

Pastoral care is embedded in everyday routines through tutor check-ins, PSE (Personal & Social Education) lessons, regular mentorship, and access to support services, making wellbeing part of daily student life.

Through the Tutor Programme and House System, students join a close-knit community that fosters belonging, teamwork, support and peer mentorship, helping them feel valued and supported beyond individual classes. We have a grade-based pastoral system where the Heads of Grade and Assistant Principals lead on pastoral support. The House Leaders organise house events and opportunities for our students.

Students can access help via their Personal Tutor, the Emotional-Guidance Counsellor or Learning-Support team. The pastoral team ensures timely intervention, tailored support and a safe space for student wellbeing and academic needs. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to issues. We take a student-centred approach and put in place whatever is necessary for our students to thrive.

NLCS (Singapore) offers specialist support including Emotional-Guidance Counsellors, Learning-Support professionals, a Safeguarding team, and an on-site Health Centre, ensuring that students’ mental health, academic support, and wellbeing are all covered. In addition, each student is in a tutor group led by 2 tutors to ensure they are receiving the academic mentoring and support they need.

By combining personal tutoring, peer-community through Houses, pastoral guidance and supportive mentoring, the school nurtures resilience, self-confidence, empathy and social responsibility in students as they grow. These are issues that we address and explore in tutor time, assemblies, PSE and lessons.

We have comprehensive careers and PSE programmes in the Upper School that are future-looking. This becomes deeper in the Sixth Form when tutors work in partnership with the Sixth Form team and the University and Careers Guidance Team to support our students.

In PSE classes, students will be taught Relationships and Sex Education, Health Education and have discussions surrounding their Wider World and Future Pathways. This holistic curriculum encourages students to ensure their relationships are positive and healthy, they look after their physical and mental health as well as exploring their future choices and decisions.

Personal Tutors act as the primary contact between school and families; staff maintain open channels, offering meetings, updates and collaborative support to ensure each student’s welfare is shared and understood.
