Your family is about to embark on a wonderful and exciting adventure. Let us work in partnership together to nurture and educate your child. Our school motto, ‘Dare to be excellent & why not?’, sums up the ethos and commitment of all staff to nurture the potential of every child, developing personal excellence in a caring environment. Our children represent our hopes and dreams. As a parent, you want the best for your child and we are proud to be working with you to ensure that they are given the right knowledge to face the future challenges.

Parents, students and the school authorities are a team and complement each other’s efforts. Education is not just a process of giving knowledge for a job but a lifelong process which creates an understanding of moral and ethical values to guide one’s life and make our students the future hope of the country.

A large part of a child’s active life is spent in the school. However every child gets his/her emotional stability from the parents. It is the parent’s attitude that a child absorbs. The interest and time that parent invest in children is crucial for their development.

We request you to spend fifteen minutes if not more with your child, talking to him/her about his/her day in the school. Know your children; not just the homework they need to complete but also the friends they make and the problems they face in the school, in the school bus or at play. Try to create a sense of purpose in the children and be their friend. Encourage him/her to do his/her work regularly from day one.

At St. Lawrence International School students would be encouraged to manage time well and to undertake daily independent work that complements class work. A range of student and staff achievements are to be celebrated at assemblies. Public recognition and acknowledgment is very important and develops a strong culture of academic excellence. Extra-curricular opportunities in sport and the arts see students develop well rounded skills and self-efficacy.

Please do attend the Parent-Teacher Meetings regularly. You are welcome to meet the teachers by appointment if there is any health problem. Finally, please go through the almanac for information about various activities and encourage your child to participate in them.

We wish you all a very rewarding and successful experience at St. Lawrence International School.
