At DSAS, our school culture is built on collaboration between teachers, staff, parents and students. Working together, our aim in primary school is to collaboratively meet the pastoral needs of our students.  Pastoral Care not only supports students in their natural progression but also facilitates the development of their self-esteem, social skills and ability to cope with stress. It is important that students feel safe and valued in their school environment and we strive to deliver a high-quality pastoral care system that ensures this. We have high expectations of, not just the behaviour of our students, but also the attitudes they display. Our expectations are that these attitudes and behaviours are modeled by every member of staff on a daily basis.
