The system of pastoral care is highly developed at Dulwich International High School Suzhou. Every student is supported by the class teacher or form tutor and the school’s pastoral team. All of our students follow a Personal, Social and Health Education course appropriate to their age and coordinated across the year groups.

Our House system is a key component of the College pastoral care structure. We ensure that children are welcomed into the Dulwich community, that we know them well and that they are supported during their time at the College.

Our House system builds a sense of community within the student body and helps to develop students’ leadership skills. Our House Captains are students responsible for helping to organise House activities, which normally take the form of friendly competitions.

We encourage students across the College to involve themselves in the wider College community and offer support to one another. Our Student Council is made up of students from each Year group who learn to listen and work with one another while voicing the views of their peers. Our most senior students are encouraged to take on additional responsibilities and to act as ambassadors for the College. Each year, our Head boy and Head girl are selected from our most senior students and a select number of students are nominated to take on the role of prefects. Our student leadership team set a strong example to younger students and act as a point of contact for students throughout the College.
