*Theme: Mental Health Awareness and Emotional Well-being*

Our school observed Mental Health Week 2026 from 5 to 10 October with the aim of promoting mental health awareness, emotional well-being, positive thinking, mindfulness, and personal safety among students.

The week was marked by a series of engaging and meaningful activities designed to encourage students to pause, reflect, express their emotions, practise gratitude, and develop healthy ways of coping with everyday stress.

*✨ Activities Conducted - Classes XI & XII*

*🎨 Mandala Art*: Students coloured intricate mandala designs to relax, enhance concentration, and enjoy a mindful break.

*🌸 De-Stress Corner*: Students explored simple calming activities and learned the importance of adopting healthy strategies to manage everyday stress.

*💛 Gratitude Wall*: Students expressed their gratitude by writing the things they were thankful for on sticky notes and displaying them on the wall, fostering positivity and appreciation.

*📚 Make One, Take One Bookmark*: This creative initiative encouraged students to design personalised bookmarks, promoting creativity, self-expression, and the joy of sharing.

*💭 Dump Your Worries*: A designated box provided students a tangible way to externalize stress and racing thoughts so they do not stay trapped in the mind.

*🌈 Hopscotch Activity*: By combining physical movement with positive psychology exercises, this activity encouraged students to uplift their mood and enhance their emotional well-being.

*🛡️ POCSO Awareness Orientation*: Teachers conducted an orientation on child safety, personal boundaries, safe and unsafe behaviour, and the importance of reaching out to a trusted adult whenever needed.

🤝 A Whole-School Celebration of Well-being

Throughout the fest, the entire ecosystem of the school resonated with the message of mental health awareness and emotional well-being. Students, teachers, and supporting staff participated enthusiastically, collectively fostering an environment of empathy, positivity, inclusion, and mutual support.
