The session began by helping students recognize the physical and behavioral signs of anxiety. Common sources of stress identified included fear of failure, performance pressure, and insufficient preparation. By acknowledging these factors, students could better understand and manage their anxiety.

The resource person, Ms Meghasree, gave some valuable tips on topics such as time management, self- talk, breathing exercise,  physical activity, balanced diet and sleep hygiene.

The interactive nature of the workshop allowed students to actively participate in identifying their personal anxiety triggers. Through engaging stories and real-life examples, they learned how effective academic preparation can significantly reduce anxiety.

The session concluded with a motivational address by the  Asst. Vice Principal Mr. Vipindas, who congratulated the top performers and offered encouraging remarks to inspire all students to excel in their forthcoming exams.

Overall, the workshop successfully equipped VIII grade students with a range of tools to handle exam anxiety. By providing practical techniques and fostering a deeper understanding of their stressors, the session aimed to improve students' approaches to exams and enhance their academic performance.
