Special Assembly: Combating Exam Stress 

As exams approach, the students of Grade VI-E led an insightful assembly on how to tackle exam stress with confidence. They highlighted the importance of staying calm, planning ahead and maintaining a positive mindset to perform their best.  

The assembly emphasised self-belief, reminding everyone that consistent effort leads to success. Practical tips, such as deep breathing exercises and time management strategies, were shared to help students stay composed and focused during exams.  

Students were reminded that exams are a chance to showcase their learning, not something to fear. A positive approach, a well-planned routine, and self-confidence can make all the difference. Mistakes should be seen as stepping stones to improvement rather than failures.  They inspired their peers to face exams with a calm and determined mindset. 

Wishing luck to the students!
