Dear Parents

Subject: Adolescent Peer Educators Leadership in Life Skills, Health and Wellbeing Programme.

🔺The board Vide circular No. Acad-80/2021 dated 10th Sep has announced to initiate and support the Adolescent Peer Educators Leadership Program for enriching Life Skills, Holistic Health and Wellbeing of its students in collaboration with Expressions India.

The rationale of such initiative is to equip and enable students to play a vital role in creating a participatory climate for behavioural change and adaptation to strengthen the inclusive environment as the COVID – 19 pandemic has impacted the psychosocial wellbeing of children and adolescents across the country. The program aims to empower the Life Skills and Wellbeing Ambassadors and to enrich the climate for Healthy and Happy Schools.
