At North London Collegiate School (Singapore), pastoral care goes beyond the classroom and Kona is living proof of that. As the first international school in Singapore to welcome a professionally trained Educational Assistance Dog, we are proud that Kona has become a warm and cherished part of daily life in our Junior School.
From attending assemblies and supporting small-group sessions to offering a calm, reassuring presence during the school day, Kona plays a meaningful role in nurturing confidence, empathy, and emotional wellbeing among our students. Her interactions with pupils are always thoughtfully managed, ensuring every child feels comfortable, respected, and supported.
Kona is a reflection of our deeply held belief that children flourish when they feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, not just as learners, but as whole individuals. At NLCS (Singapore), individual pastoral care sits at the heart of everything we do. When students feel truly at ease, they are free to grow in curiosity, resilience, and compassion.
