"Change
is the beginning of growth. Embrace it with courage and curiosity." –

The transition from Primary to Middle School marks a pivotal milestone in a student’s academic journey, bringing new responsibilities, environments, and expectations. To support students through this important change, the Health & Wellness Programme, under the aegis of ADEPT- A Program for Enhancing Life Skills, organized a thoughtfully curated Transition Session for Grade VI students on May 8, 2025, at Blue Bells Model School. This initiative, steered by the visionary mentorship of Dr. Alka Saxena, Deputy Director (Health & Wellness), Blue Bells Group of Schools, is part of an indigenous effort to ensure a smooth and confident progression into the Middle Wing.
A preliminary
activity was conducted to explore students' emotions, perspectives, and
anticipations in which the students collaboratively designed collages expressing their
emotions and expectations about moving to the Middle Wing.
This led to an experiential learning session
addressing their concerns and curiosities. Facilitators guided discussions on
self-awareness, adaptability, and communication as tools for building
friendships and thriving in new settings. Practical strategies like task
breakdown, time management, and goal setting were introduced to support both
academic and emotional adjustment.
Peer Educators from Grade VII added a personal
touch by sharing how Life Skills helped them transition with confidence. This
inclusive initiative reflects the Health & Wellness team’s dedication to
holistic student development, promoting readiness, resilience, and
social-emotional growth.
