We chat with Claire Holmes, head of School Counselling at Tanglin Trust School in Singapore to hear about the school's approach to managing pupil transitions - both on arrival and departure - and why including parents in this work is vital.

She also explains why it is important international schools give due focus to 'stayers' - those pupils that remain in a school throughout their education but see many of their friends, and teachers, leave on a regular basis - to ensure this consistent loss does not affect them unduly.

As part of this she also explains why she has written books designed to help schools and leaders do all this as best as possible to ensure wellbeing of pupils - and parents - remains a top priority.
