GIIS Balewadi provides a learning experience through an insightful session to navigate through adolescence

In an endeavour to equip our students with knowledge and life skills to deal with the challenges of adolescence, we organized an informative session in collaboration with Right Side Story, a trusted child safeguarding company that partnered with Whisper. The session aimed at breaking the stigma associated with puberty and enlightening students from Grades 5-9 with crucial awareness and comprehensive information regarding the physical and emotional changes inherent to puberty, with a particular emphasis on feminine hygiene. 

 

The innovative and engaging approach made the students well-informed and it garnered enthusiastic feedback for its efficacy. By seamlessly blending education with engagement, RSS ensured that the session was both informative and enjoyable for the students. Through the utilization of multimedia presentations, interactive discussions, and relatable storytelling, the child safeguarding company addressed the various dimensions of puberty in a manner that resonated with the students' experiences. 

 

The success of the Puberty Awareness session can be attributed to the expertise of the facilitator—a knowledgeable counselor, Janani Sreekanth, specializing in adolescent health and development. She created a safe space for students to ask questions and seek clarification, fostering a supportive learning environment. 

 

Notably, Right Side Story incorporated interactive activities, group discussions, and real-life scenarios to ensure high levels of student engagement throughout the session, promoting a sense of community among the attendees. As a thoughtful conclusion to the session, informative pamphlets and practical goodies related to feminine hygiene ensured that students had access to essential resources to navigate this crucial phase of their lives confidently. 

 

The overwhelmingly positive feedback received from both students and teachers highlights the importance of addressing puberty with sensitivity and providing adolescents with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate this transformative period successfully.
