Message from the Head of Welfare

Welcome to the Welfare Department at SKT International School. I’m Guvanch Odeniyazov , and as Head of Welfare , my role is to support the overall well-being of our students—socially, emotionally, and morally—while helping them grow into responsible and compassionate individuals. We implement the Character Education Program, built on the foundation of Character First Education, the world’s largest character-based initiative for schools. This program helps students understand and live by core universal values such as respect, honesty, and fairness.For Years 7–9 , we use the Pathways: Values in Action book, which turns these values into lived experiences that shape our students into engaged, empathetic global citizens. Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide range of welfare activities that promote connection, confidence, and character. For example, our indoor/outdoor activities like picnics, movie nights, and BBQs encourage teamwork and social bonding, while donation programs teach compassion and social responsibility through giving and community support. Other activities include DEAR Time, birthday celebrations, sports tournaments, clubs, fundraising events, holiday celebrations, and excursions. We also conduct home visits to better understand each student’s background and provide personalized care and support. Please feel free to reach out—we’re here to help every student thrive. Warm regards,

Guvanch Odeniyazov
