World Mental Health Day

Aiming to promote emotional well-being, IGS recently celebrated Mental Health Day. An engaging treasure hunt was held that took students on a journey of self-discovery through the practise of different breathing techniques. By engaging in a playful yet educational game, students learned to harness the power of breathing for stress reduction, increased focus, and improved overall well-being. 
This activity encouraged students to explore practices such as diaphragmatic breathing, square breathing, and mindful breathing. The treasure hunt not only introduced students to breathing techniques but also facilitated mindfulness and self-awareness. Through each breathing station, students were encouraged to be fully present and tune into their physical and emotional sensations. 
This helped foster a deeper understanding of their own thoughts, feelings, and reactions, laying a foundation for improved self-management and emotional regulation.
IGS’ observance of Mental Health Day provided students with a transformative experience, emphasising on the importance of emotional well-being and equipping them with valuable tools to cope with challenges effectively. By embracing activities like the treasure hunt, the school demonstrated its commitment to nurturing resilient individuals and promoting an environment that prioritises positive mental health.
