Hello, my name is Kirk Haver and I am the Student Welfare Coordinator for Primary and Secondary at Utahloy International School Zengcheng. I came to Utahloy from Seattle, Washington in the United States. My degree is in Psychology and I provide counseling services to the Primary, Middle, and Secondary students on our campus. I am available during school hours to provide help to students with concerns that may be affecting their behavior and school life. I can assist students in sorting out a variety of personal, social, emotional, and educational issues that can come up during the academic year.
I have worked with young people for over 20 years in a variety of roles and enjoy the process of assisting students in self-discovery and problem-solving. I am also a resource to parents in their important role of raising emotionally and psychologically healthy students by providing support, consultation services, and resources.
Students can talk with me individually or in small groups during break time and lunch as well as at regularly scheduled times during the school day. I am also available to boarders at Dragon House after school. One of my goals is to help students have a positive learning experience. Everybody needs support from time-to-time and that is the role I play at Utahloy for the student community. My door is always open to anyone needing a listening ear.
I look forward to meeting every student at some point in the school year to welcome them and to start a conversation to find out what is important to them and how they might achieve that at Utahloy. Please feel free to come by my office any time to say hello and to make an appointment. I would like to help students have as positive and enriching a learning experience as possible.
School Counsellor
