WORKSHOP ON EXAMINATION STRESS MANAGEMENT 10 TH - 14 TH FEBRUARY 2025


The Health & Wellness Department of Shalom Hills International School, in collaboration with the team of counsellors, conducted an insightful workshop on Managing Examination Stress for students of Grades VI–VIII.

The session aimed to enlighten students on the nature of stress and its potential repercussions if not managed effectively. By identifying the physical, emotional, and behavioural indicators of stress, students learned to recognize when their well-being is compromised, and the importance of timely intervention and seeking support.

To equip students with effective stress management techniques, the workshop introduced structured planning strategies, encouraging them to set mini, short-term, and long-term goals. Study methodologies such as SQ3R, ABC, and SMART were explored, enabling students to adopt systematic and efficient learning approaches. Additionally, the session emphasized the significance of holistic well-being through engaging in hobbies, participating in sports, managing time effectively, and incorporating relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises into their daily routines.

To enhance cognitive abilities, students were introduced to stimulating mind exercises like Sudoku, chunking, skimming, and mnemonics, designed to boost memory, retention, and concentration. Common myths surrounding examinations were dispelled, fostering a more confident and positive outlook toward assessments.

Interactive worksheets facilitated self-reflection, while students were guided on essential pre-exam and exam-day strategies, including the importance of avoiding last-minute cramming, maintaining a balanced diet, and ensuring adequate rest. Practical exercises and key techniques, such as mindful question analysis and structured answering methods, were reinforced for optimizing performance in the examination hall.

The workshop proved to be an enriching and empowering experience, equipping students with the skills and mindset necessary to approach examinations with resilience, confidence, and a balanced perspective.
