The Middle School of St. Columba’s School observed Mental Health Week from 6th to 11th October 2025, aiming to spread awareness on emotional well-being among students, teachers, and parents.

The week began with a hybrid assembly on “Mind Matters”, highlighting the importance of mental wellness through thoughts, reflections and a collective pledge. Mental Health Awareness sessions for Classes 4–10 by school counselors  encouraged students to recognize and manage emotions effectively.

Creative activities such as poster-making by the Art Club and bookmark-making by the art club and literary Club provided expressive outlets for students to share positive mental health messages.

Teachers attended an enriching session by a psychologist Ms Nitika Khosla from Mental Health Department, Fortis Hospital on “Empowered Educators, Compassionate Classrooms”, focusing on creating emotionally safe learning spaces. Both teachers and parents also signed the Mental Health Pledge, reaffirming their commitment to nurturing a supportive school environment.

The week concluded with a shared understanding that mental well-being truly matters, reinforcing the Columban spirit of care and compassion.
