A Powerful Session on Mental Health Awareness

As part of the Mental Health Week observance, an engaging and thought-provoking session was held for the students of Classes VII and VIII on 10th October 2025. The session was conducted by Mr. Musse Pugazhendi, whose remarkable ability to connect with young minds made the event both insightful and memorable.

Mr. Pugazhendi used an interesting blend of theatrics, humour, and real-life reflections to deliver powerful messages about emotional well-being, self-awareness, and the importance of maintaining a healthy mind. His choice of words, expressions, and emotions held the students’ attention throughout, making even complex ideas easy to understand and relate to.

What truly stood out was the interactive and entertaining nature of the session - students were not just passive listeners but active participants, responding eagerly to his thought-provoking questions and stories. The talk succeeded in driving home the importance of understanding emotions, building resilience, and seeking help when needed - all essential aspects of nurturing mentally healthy individuals.

The session left a lasting impact, reminding everyone that mental health deserves the same attention and care as physical health. It was indeed an inspiring and meaningful experience for both students and teachers alike.

Guiding Young Minds Through Adolescence

A special session was organized for the students of Classes VIII and IX on the most transformative phase of their lives: Adolescence.

We were fortunate to have Dr. Soundarya K, Director of Sai Janani Women Care Centre, lead this insightful program. With her expertise, warmth, and engaging approach, she addressed the many questions and curiosities that naturally arise during this sensitive stage.

The session was not just informative - it was enriching and empowering. Students learned about the physical, emotional, and social changes of adolescence, while also being guided on how to navigate them with confidence and responsibility. What stood out most was the way Dr. Soundarya made the students feel comfortable, heard, and understood -turning what is often considered a confusing phase into one of growth, strength, and self-discovery.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Soundarya for her efforts in making this program meaningful and impactful. Her session truly planted seeds of awareness and resilience in the young hearts of our students, ensuring they step into their future with clarity and courage.

CPR Training at Primrose School

At Primrose School, we have always believed that education goes beyond textbooks – it is about preparing our children to face life with courage, compassion, and confidence. In line with this vision, our school had the immense privilege of being chosen to host The School CPR Program, a joint initiative of ISCCM and IRCF, conducted by the expert medical team from JIPMER.

This programme was much more than a training session. It was a movement to empower every student with the ability to act during critical moments. The session equipped them with essential life-saving CPR skills, reminding us that sometimes, the most powerful tools are not machines or medicines, but our very own hands and presence of mind.

The day was made even more special by the gracious presence of Dr. Nalini Parthasarathi, Padma Shri Awardee, ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalini_Parthasarathi) whose inspiring words deeply moved everyone present. Her guidance and encouragement served as a reminder that every individual, no matter their age, has the power to make a difference when it matters the most. Having such a distinguished personality among us was truly a blessing and an honor for our school community.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Nanda Kishore Maroju, whose enthusiasm and commitment to spreading awareness made this programme a reality at Primrose. It was his initiative, along with the dedicated team of doctors from JIPMER, that brought this invaluable training to our students and teachers. Their effort in approaching the school with such a meaningful plan reflects their true spirit of service to society.

LinguaFusion 2025

On 30th August 2025, Primrose School came alive with the colors of words and cultures as we celebrated LinguaFusion — an event that wove together the beauty of four vibrant languages: Tamil, English, French, and Hindi. The day was a tribute to the harmony of diversity, and the joy of multilingual learning.

The Chief Guest of the day was Mr. S.V. Anand, who reminded us that learning multiple languages does more than refine communication skills — it opens doors to new worlds, broadens horizons, and nurtures empathy across cultures.

More than just an exhibition, LinguaFusion was an experience — an exploration of how words carry history, emotion, and imagination. 

A heartfelt note of appreciation goes out to our dedicated language teachers, who crafted an elegant and meaningful showcase. Equal gratitude is owed to our teaching and non-teaching staff, whose efforts behind the scenes ensured that the event sparkled with grace and colour.

LinguaFusion was not just celebrated — it was felt, lived, and cherished. For in every language lies a story, and together, they form the symphony of humanity.

Reducing Screen Time – An Awareness Rally by Class IV

In today’s digital world, screens have become a constant companion for children and adults alike. While technology has its benefits, too much screen time can affect our health, studies, and even our relationships. To spread awareness about this important issue, the students of Class IV at Primrose School took the initiative to organize an awareness rally on the importance of reducing screen time. They also spoke to the parents who attended the PTM about the ill effects of excessive screen time.

With placards, thoughtful slogans, and a strong message, the young students marched with enthusiasm, reminding everyone that balance is the key to a healthy lifestyle. Their rally highlighted how excessive screen usage can lead to eye strain, lack of physical activity, disturbed sleep, and reduced focus on studies and hobbies.

The children also encouraged simple yet powerful alternatives - spending time with family, reading books, playing outdoor games, exploring nature, and pursuing creative activities. Their voices carried a message not just for their peers, but for all of us: “Let’s not be slaves to screens, let’s live life beyond them.”

This initiative by Class IV is a shining example of how young minds can inspire change. By spreading awareness in such a meaningful way, they have reminded us that while technology is a tool, it should never replace the joys of real-life connections and experiences. This rally was another step in teaching our students the importance of balance in today’s fast-paced digital age.

Congratulations, Kavin!
