Our Own English High School, Abu Dhabi
 

Pastoral Care

Our students are provided with various opportunities to equip them with all the skills required in a challenging and changing world. The Student Council Body and the Prefectorial Body of our school provides a platform for students to develop effective leadership and team work skills that are underpinned by the four core values.

Student Council
Senior students (usually classes 9 and 10) are nominated by teachers for the position of Head Boy, Head Girl, Games Captains, Student Coordinators. A committee comprising the Principal, Senior Supervisor and Senior teachers make the final selection of Student Council members and the School Prefect Body who are then formally invested at a special assembly.

Members of the Prefect Body and Student Council assist the staff in maintaining discipline in the school and serve as a forum for students' self expression. Leadership training is also imparted to these students.

House System
The House system fosters a sense of competition and team spirit to encourage higher standards of achievement.

Houses Motto
Mars For Honour We Strive
Jupiter Labour With Constancy
Saturn To Greater Heights
Neptune Truth Will Triumph

Each house is headed by a House Mistress/Master, House Captains and prefects.

Every student is alloted a particular House. Several activities are conducted on an Inter-House basis and points are awarded according to their performance, in the 1st 2nd  3rd and 4th positions.These points are accumulated and at the end of the year the Best House title is awarded to the house that earns the highest score.

Leadership qualities, responsibility, time management, and a healthy sense of competition is instilled and enhanced by the House system.

Peer-teaching
The school provides oportunities to students excelling in academic subjects from Grade 9 and 10 to coach students in academic subjects after the school hours or during vacations to enahnce their communication and presentation skills, and also enables them to impress in depth their academic knowledge.

Extra-coaching in Academic Subjects
