MELS

Moral Education and Life Skills (formally known as PSHE) plays a unique role in the education we offer our students.

It takes a positive approach to help young people to understand how to live healthy lives, how to make well-informed and educated choices and how to be resilient in dealing with the challenges and issues that they may face as they grow up.

MELS is taught once per week but also forms part of the daily routines, dialogues and values of those who work in our school. The curriculum provides a positive contribution to the climate and ethos of the school enabling students to grow and flourish; building effective relationships, developing social skills and resilience and thereby leading to confident individuals.

COURSE CONTENT

The curriculum is based upon a combination of the UK guidelines on Personal, Social and Health Education and the UAE’s Moral Education framework.

The programme aims to develop essential skills and attributes based around core themes; health and wellbeing, relationships, living in the wider world, study skills, character and morality, the individual and the community.
