Guiding Young Minds Through Change: Transition Session for Grade VI
"Change is the beginning of growth. Embrace it with courage and curiosity." – Unknown
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 April 24, 2025, at Brahm Dutt Blue Bells Public 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.
