A nurturing home where children learn, grow, and find their purpose.
Nurturing Emotional Well-Being
At SDR School, emotional well-being is an essential part of a child’s growth and learning. Our programme focuses on helping students understand their emotions, build resilience, and develop healthy relationships through guided activities, mentorship, and a supportive school environment. By encouraging self-awareness, empathy, and positive coping skills, we help students feel confident, balanced, and ready to face both academic and life challenges.
A Safe and Supportive Environment
At SDR School, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every student feels heard, supported, and valued. Emotional well-being is woven into everyday school life through caring teachers, trained mentors, and structured guidance systems.
Through regular check-ins, counselling support, and age-appropriate wellbeing activities, students receive continuous care that supports their emotional, social, and mental development. Our approach ensures that children feel secure, confident, and emotionally balanced—allowing them to engage fully in learning and personal growth.
EMOTIONAL WELL BEING
Pastoral Care – A Home Away from Home
At SDR School, emotional wellbeing is at the core of our approach to education. We believe a child’s ability to learn, grow, and succeed is deeply connected to feeling safe, supported, and understood. Pastoral care here is not a separate service—it is a shared responsibility embedded in everyday school life.
From the moment students join, they become part of a caring school community where teachers and mentors know them as individuals, understand their needs, and guide them with empathy and consistency. This supportive environment blends structure with warmth, helping every child feel secure, confident, and prepared to face both academic and life challenges ahead.
The Role of Boarding
House Parents
Each student at SDR becomes part of a vibrant residential community, guided by experienced and caring boarding house parents. These staff members ensure that students receive the right balance of academic, social, and emotional support. They are not only guardians but also mentors who encourage students to grow personally and socially.

SDR Sports Facilities
Recreational Spaces
Recreational Spaces: we understand the importance of relaxation and social interaction in a boarding environment. Each dormitory is equipped with dedicated recreational spaces, designed to foster a sense of community and provide students with a place to unwind after a busy day. These common areas include lounges with comfortable seating, spaces for board games, table tennis, and quiet areas for reading or chatting with friends. Whether it’s watching movies, playing indoor games, or simply hanging out with peers, these spaces promote a well-rounded residential experience.
Celebrations and Special
Events: Making Every
Moment Memorable
At SDR, birthdays are a special occasion, and we make sure each student’s day is celebrated in style. Students can choose the flavor of their birthday cake, which is freshly baked in our school bakery. Parents are warmly invited to join their child’s birthday celebration on campus and have the option to take their child out for the day. To ensure the safety and routine of all students, parents and students must report back by 8:00 am the next morning.
