đ Well-being at OTR International School
Supporting every childâs physical, emotional, and mental health â every day
At OTR International School, student well-being is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that children learn best when they feel safe, healthy, and supported. Our comprehensive approach to well-being ensures that every student is cared for in a nurturing, attentive, and respectful environment.
đ„ Full-time Nurse on site

- Providing immediate care for injuries or illnesses.
- Managing individual medical needs (allergies, medications, care plans).
- Monitoring general student health in partnership with families.
- Offering a calm and comforting space when students need emotional support.
The school infirmary is a safe and welcoming place where students are listened to, respected, and cared for.
đ Health & Well-being Workshops
Beyond her medical responsibilities, our school nurse also leads age-appropriate health and well-being workshops throughout the year. These sessions are integrated into the curriculum and cover key topics such as:
- đ§ŒÂ Personal hygiene, healthy eating, and sleep habits
- đŹÂ Emotional awareness and communication
- 𧠠Mental health: recognizing stress, building self-confidence, and empathy
