To support students as they prepare for their upcoming board examinations, The Khaitan School organised a highly insightful Stress Management Workshop on 1st December for the students of Class 10. The session was led by esteemed speakers and professors from the Allen Career Institute, who brought with them years of expertise, practical strategies, and a deep understanding of the academic pressures faced by adolescents.
The workshop aimed to help students recognise, understand, and address academic stress in a healthy and constructive manner. The experts began by explaining the root causes of stress—ranging from academic expectations and peer comparison to fear of underperformance and inefficient study habits. Students were guided to identify early signs of stress, ensuring timely intervention and support.
One of the key highlights of the session was the discussion around common myths related to stress and performance. The speakers encouraged students to move away from rigid beliefs such as “studying longer means performing better” and instead adopt a mindset focused on quality of effort, self-awareness, and realistic goal-setting.
Through a series of interactive activities, reflective discussions, and practical demonstrations, students learned essential techniques to manage exam-related pressure. These included:
Time management and structured planning
Setting achievable goals
Creating balanced study routines
Prioritising sleep, nutrition, and emotional well-being
Developing positive thinking and self-care practices
The experts also emphasised the importance of open communication, urging students to share their concerns with teachers, parents, or mentors whenever needed. This approach not only reduces stress but also fosters a stronger support system during challenging times.
The workshop concluded with students feeling more confident, motivated, and better equipped to handle the demands of the board examination season.
