The Conference
BSA course: boarding & pastoral care training
27th -29th May 2017
Why you should attend?
International boarding schools are at the forefront of modern boarding, pioneering new techniques and developing rigorous standards in their staff and boarding provision to meet the needs of their diverse international communities. This conference will give you the opportunity to explore modern techniques, debate current issues and share good practice on topics such as internet safety, student mental health, parental expectations and cultural integration. These key issues will be developed in a practical way and delegates will come away with specific skills designed to proactively meet the needs of their students.
Who should attend?
This conference is aimed at all boarding staff, including new and aspiring House Masters and House Mistresses. The eight sessions will explore current key issues, reflect on developing proactive pastoral care, and look to develop effective and solution-focussed approaches to improve the support and boarding experience of the young people in our care.
