Assembly on Peer Pressure and Winners of various Competitions in the ICT Laboratory

On the 22nd February, an interactive workshop on Peer pressure was conducted for the Middle School students. The aim of the workshop was to help the students to understand what peer pressure is as well as to recognise its effects along with developing skills to resist temptation. The different types of peer pressure were discussed (Positive vs Negative, Internal vs External.) Students were given situations wherein they had to decide what type of peer pressure was taking place.

The following topics were covered in the presentation: effects of positive peer pressure (feedback and advice), effects of negative peer pressure (getting influenced and doing something that you are not comfortable with or have never done before), how at times these different types of peer pressure can be expressed in several ways-as a friendly suggestion, as a threat etc.

The students seemed to have enjoyed this session conducted by Ms. Arvika Bhakri ( School Counsellor)and shared that it was a useful topic that they could easily relate to.

Once the Assembly was concluded, there were certificates handed out by the Head of Programme (Middle School) to the winners of various competitions in the ICT Room which had been conducted Ms.Shallu Sharma)
