At SPS, the pastoral care of our students is of primary importance and we are committed to providing a safe and caring environment for all our boarders. Our staff, both boarding and teaching, are approachable and encourage students to share any issues that may be troubling them. The school has both a full-time Coordinator of Student Welfare and a part-time independent School Counsellor who students can talk to on a confidential basis.
