Message from the Head of Welfare
Welcome to the Welfare Department at SKT International School. I’m
Dovran Abdyrahmanov , and
as Head of Welfare , it is my privilege to support the overall
wellbeing of our students—socially, emotionally, and morally—while guiding them to grow into
responsible, compassionate individuals.
Our department leads the Character Education Program, based on Character First Education, the
world’s largest character-based initiative for schools. This program helps students understand
and embody universal values such as respect, honesty, empathy and fairness. For Years 7–9 , we use the
Pathways: Values in Action book, which transforms these values
into practical, lived experiences, shaping our students into empathetic, engaged global
citizens.
Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide range of welfare activities designed to build connection,
confidence, and character. These include indoor/outdoor events like
picnics, movie nights, BBQs, and donation drives that encourage teamwork, social
bonding, and community spirit. Other initiatives such as DEAR Time, birthday celebrations,
sports tournaments, clubs, fundraising events, holiday celebrations, and excursions help create
a vibrant and inclusive school culture.
We also conduct home visits to better understand each student’s background and offer tailored care and support. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—our door is always open. We are here to help every student feel supported, valued, and ready to thrive.
