Garden International School<br />
Eastern Seaboard, Ban Chang<br />
Your choice. Their future. Our family.<br />
Welcome<br />
We like to think that Garden International School is an open and stimulating place for<br />
students. We have worked hard to create a relaxed but business-like atmosphere<br />
where pupils of all ages can engage with and enjoy learning.<br />
Pastoral Support<br />
New students are placed into a Tutor Group and have a Form Tutor who is responsible<br />
for their pastoral care. All Tutor Groups meet and register with their Form Tutor twice a<br />
day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The Form Tutor is the primary port<br />
of call for communication between parents, students and the school. Form time is<br />
organised and structured every day to ensure that pupils start the day in the right frame<br />
of mind and know they need to be punctual for the start of each school day<br />
The Student Diary<br />
Students are provided with a student diary. The diary fulfils two important roles. It is<br />
firstly used by students to record all homework that is set during the academic ten-day<br />
cycle. Its second function is to act as a communication tool between staff, students and<br />
parents. The student diary is checked each Monday by the Form Tutor and key notes<br />
are discussed with the student. Both the Form Tutor and parents are required to sign<br />
the diary as part of their role in maintaining home-school communication.<br />
