Mental Health Awareness Month

October is observed as Mental Health Awareness Month, and our school celebrated this significant month by organising a series of meaningful and engaging activities for students. The initiative was undertaken in line with the theme of “Demystifying Mental Health,” with the aim of helping students develop a better understanding of their emotions, mental well-being and the importance of empathy.

Throughout the month, students participated enthusiastically in a range of age-appropriate activities. Through poster-making, they expressed their thoughts and ideas about mental health and emotional well-being creatively. Activities on understanding and labelling emotions encouraged students to recognise what they feel and understand that experiencing different emotions is a natural part of life.

Students were also introduced to journaling as a healthy way of expressing their thoughts and feelings. This activity encouraged self-reflection and helped students understand the importance of acknowledging and communicating their emotions.

The awareness initiative was further strengthened through assembly, where students collectively took an oath to understand and respect the emotions of others and to be empathetic towards everyone. The oath highlighted the importance of kindness, sensitivity, active listening, and creating a supportive environment where everyone feels heard and respected.
