G D Goenka World School

For Boarding students the House father or House mother is the effective guardian caring for each small group of 16 students. S/he regularly inspects the bedrooms and studies, and checks on the student's diet, personal hygiene, skin and hair care, the availability of toiletries and the condition of clothes. S/he liaises closely with the academic staff to monitor the quality of students' prep and other academic work. Most important of all, the House Parents carry a major responsibility for the happiness and integration of students and for keeping in close touch with the parents by email or other means.

• Every student is cared for by a House Parent whose first concern is to get to know him or her as an individual whose talents and interests can be stimulated and developed.
• Each student's social and academic progress is carefully monitored and reported to parents.
• House Parents are supported by an extended medical and housekeeping team.
• All students participate in a programme of Personal Social and Health Education devised and co-ordinated by the Director of Guidance who also gives personal and academic counselling to individual students.
