Last week, Inventure Academy’s Yeshwanthpur campus hosted a transformative Mental Health Week, celebrating the importance of mental health through acts of kindness, creative performances, and mindful activities. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 5 embraced the opportunity to spread awareness about mental health and wellbeing, showcasing the power of community and resilience.
At Inventure Academy, we believe in fostering a holistic environment where students can thrive. This Mental Health Week emphasized the importance of mental health in schools, providing a platform to explore ways to improve mental health through collaborative and creative wellbeing activities.
Young Minds Leading the Way: Kindergarten’s Kindness Acts
The youngest members of our community, the Kindergarteners, took the lead with heartwarming gestures of love and compassion. Through small yet impactful acts of kindness, they reminded us that building a culture of empathy is vital for better mental health and stronger relationships.
Performances That Touched Hearts: Grade 1-5
- Grade 1: Their beautiful rendition of Count on Me highlighted the significance of friendship and support in fostering mental wellbeing, especially during challenging times.
- Grade 4: Students inspired everyone with their powerful words on facing fears using a growth mindset and positive affirmations, tools that are essential for improving student mental health.
- Grade 5: Adding a creative twist, they performed an original song about understanding and managing emotions, providing unique insights into the importance of mental health education.
Each performance underscored the role of mental health activities in helping students articulate emotions and strengthen their mental wellness.
A Calming Breather: Grade 3’s Crazy Bubbles Exercise
Grade 3 Inventurers introduced the audience to Crazy Bubbles, a soothing breathing exercise inspired by rainbow colors. This activity served as a practical example of how simple practices can help improve mental health and refocus the mind. Engaging in such wellbeing activities nurtures mindfulness and promotes a sense of calm, making it a valuable addition to mental health care strategies for children.
