Community Engagement - Pakistan English School Kuwait

Engagement & Activities

The comprehensive curriculum at Pakistan English School emphasizes practical learning and solve the problems of the community. The school has been centre of the community and is open to everyone all day. We support our students and families, design and implement education programs through the active engagement of communities. We bring together a diverse range of partners to create a range of supports and opportunities to children, youth, families and communities. Since the commencement of community engagement, we have hosted multiple programs and amidst the pandemic situation, several interactive webinar sessions also been conducted to engage community members in meaningful ways. The continuous engagement enables us to form strong connections and develop a curriculum that bridge students with real-world opportunities and caring for the fundamental needs of students and their families.

Our workshops have focused on supporting parents with their children’s learning, building routines and healthy habits at home. In doing so, we hope to encourage parents to actively spend time with their children and bring families together.

In addition, as part of our school’s philanthropic efforts, PES distributed 91 food kits to individuals and families in need of assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in Kuwait.

As a school with a vibrant multicultural community, we understand it is essential for us to act responsibly toward our people by empowering them and utilising their talents to our strength. We are able to achieve this by building a strategic and sustainable community engagement programme aligned with our school vision and culture that truly benefits our community. By developing our staff, we realise that they in turn will encourage our students to realise their potential and be their best within the classroom and beyond.

At PES, we believe that having strong guiding principles for all our community initiatives are key.

Our secondary goal is nurturing the environment, which we are actively pursuing by developing awareness and an empathetic attitude toward protecting the environment in the face of growing concerns over climate change. We practice this in several ways within the school environment by not littering and taking care of school property. This fits in with our greater desire to educate our community and evolve civic sense toward preserving our natural environment, particularly our beloved country of Kuwait, by consuming responsibly making our school and country sustainable for future generations.
