CARPE DIEM: SEIZE THE FUN, TODAY!

G. Stanley Hall regarded Adolescence as a period of storm and stress, an age experiencing significant changes in the pattern of growth and development. Every individual has varied experiences and coping strategies to accept, overcome, and find novel ways to interpret the world around them. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our ecology and the lives of our young learners are severely impacted.

From the perspective of wellbeing, our children are experiencing turbulence in all domains of development and that is impacting their whole being. As a school community or as a close-knitted clan of nurturing caregivers, the mentors designed a day that would attempt to help our learners cope, relax, de-stress, unwind and connect with their peers beyond the subject domain. The HRIs and Co-HRIs were the facilitators of the session. The day was aptly christened "Carpe Diem", – seize the day (of fun).

The first phase of Carpe Diem, which was bursting with teamwork and power-packed performances, was completed last week and was well-received by the students and the parent community. The program design of Carpe Diem, by the Counselling (Psychology) Team, is extremely engaging and has an energized set of activities. The support from the School Leadership Team has been a force to reckon with.

The year leads of grade 9-12 present to you a detailed account of the first-ever Carpe Diem. Witness, seize the day (of fun)- Carpe Diem
