We've completed our powerpoint slides to be presented this tuesday.
We decided to do on the stress aspect of mental wellness as we found out that RV students face stress due to work, CCA and many tests. Through our surveys, we actually found out that students face problems balancing their schoolwork, homework and CCA's and that they find school a stressful experience. Some students even go to bed late just to complete an assignment. As such, we ought to equip RV pupils with the right set of skills and knowledge in order for them to reduce their stress levels and hence, get better grades and have more leisure time as well.

I think our aims will be best achieved by posting phamplets and posters around the school at places where students frequent the most, give level by level talks in the LTs as well as conduct class activities during PDP lessons. It is important that the activities we do engage the students such that they will be willing to learn as it will definitely be beneficial to their emotional well being.

I've learnt that no matter which walk of life we are from, we will no doubt face stress at different points of time in our life. It is important for us to learn to cope with stress for too much of it can lead to depression and affect us for life. It will be a lie to say that i have never ever experienced stress, because i have. Stress can come from various external factors such as decision making, workload and the inability of time management. We ought to be aware of this and find ways to reduce our stress levels.
