Josephians Campaign to Foster Health and Wellness
It has been said and quite rightly so that ‘Health is a state of body while Wellness is a state of being.’ Both being in complete concordance with each other, they have undoubtedly come to gain the utmost importance in our lives today.
Needless to say, it has thus, become imperative for us to inculcate the ideology of living a healthy lifestyle right from childhood.
As part of the Health and Wellness Campaign at St. Joseph’s Sr. Sec. School, Sector 44-D, Chandigarh, students of the Middle Block partook in various activities and competitions to enhance their knowledge of staying healthy, both in body mind.
Students of Class VI were most keen to showcase their Cookery talents, albeit with some help from their doting Mothers, no doubt, as they competed for the top spots in the Healthy Tiffin Competition.
The Poster Making Competition for Class VII was another efficacious event wherein the Josephians made striking posters, depicting various aspects of the theme, ‘Health and Wellness’ which they proudly displayed as they participated in the Rally organized for them which aimed at bringing about awareness.
The Doctor’s Talk on the same theme, conducted for the Class VIII, withal proved to be a fruitful interactive session. Students were apprised of a variety of aspects of physical and mental health, including food, exercise, sleep, and recreational activities that can aid in relieving stress. They also capitalised on the opportunity to pose queries pertaining to their own concerns which were addressed by the School Doctor most effectively.
Director Paramdeep Grewal stated that such activities help students to acquire the skills, principles, and mind sets they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives.
Principal Ms.Monica Chawla was quite delighted to observe the excitement and enthusiasm among the young students as she flagged off the Rally. She said that it was the shared responsibility of the School and Parents to modify, oft deleterious behaviour patterns of the children, towards the attainment of optimum health.
