Wellbeing and Mental Health Support
At Viet Nam Tinh Hoa, we understand the importance of mental and emotional wellbeing. Our Wellbeing provision ensures that all students have access to the support they need to thrive, including access to a trained counselor, regular mindfulness activities, and a focus on resilience-building through positive relationships.
PSHE Programme
Our Personal, Social and Health Education programme aims to enable our students to lead responsible and healthy lives. They develop skills and knowledge which will equip them with ways to deal with a range of spiritual, moral, cultural and political issues.
The PSHE programme helps our students understand the importance of tolerance and respect for diversity in today’s modern society. It develops their confidence in their ability to achieve their aspirations, and encourage them to make informed choices about future life decisions.
Daily circle time activities also encourage open dialogue and provide a space for students to express themselves, fostering positive resolutions to any day-to-day differences. These moments also allow students to participate in meaningful activities during key events such as Anti-Bullying Week, Mental Health Week, and Friendship Week.
Restorative Practices
Our behavior policy is built on restorative practices, encouraging students to take responsibility for their actions and promoting positive conflict resolution. By focusing on accountability, empathy, and repair, we nurture a supportive and respectful school environment.
Inclusivity and Diversity
At Viet Nam Tinh Hoa Supported by NLCS International, we celebrate the diverse backgrounds of our students and ensure an inclusive approach to learning. We strive to create an environment where every student feels valued and supported, regardless of their individual needs or cultural background.

Parent Involvement and Communication
We believe that the partnership between school and home is key to a child’s success. We regularly update parents on their child’s progress through reports, parent-teacher conferences, and our Parent Partnership Hub, where parents can access resources, communicate with teachers, and stay involved in their child’s learning journey.
Digital Safety and Wellbeing
In today’s increasingly connected world, ensuring students are equipped with the skills to navigate the digital landscape safely is critical. Our comprehensive digital literacy curriculum and Digital Safety Policy helps to teaches students about the risks of the online world, empowers them to make informed choices, and promotes respectful online behavior.
